Sorry Leatash and Carer but your localism lets you down here. Having worked recovery on the M62 in my younger days I would say its a very worthy case for investment and improvement. Its the only East to West connection capable of maintaining the carraige of goods across that part of the country and onward down to the Midlands and South West. In the Winter months its the only route across country ...

Hatching in time for the weekend the Black Swan cygnets have proved a big attraction on The Brook, unwittingly taking part in numerous impromptu photo-calls as they appear and disappear under mum, much to the delight of locals and early Spring holidaymakers. Read more... ...

Drugs, Dawlish,,,, what a shocker, who would have thought it, not. From the rumours I have heard drugs/alcohol linked to social issues in Dawlish has been going on for decades.

Thanks for sharing Flo. Hopefully lots of people will be coming to see them especially with Easter fast approaching.

Yes FB I think you are right. I've tried phoning around a few places and also asking in some of the charity shops here and in T'mouth but no-one wants them. Thanks for the offer of a machine to play them on but we've got one, kept so that daughter can play the videos of herself made when she was much younger. We are in the process of converting those videos of her childhood to dvds. I've still got ...

My sincerest condolences to family and friends. R.I.P Anthony.

The problem is that Police traffic powers ie on minor offences have been watered down the PCSOs have had there traffic powers removed and it was in there remit to deal with cyclists,obstructions etc so now there is no one and peeople know it thats drivers and cyclists alike. The idea was that the CEOs dealt with these things but one they haven't the man power, consider we see one in Dawlish 3 or 4 ...

No, I can assure you that a long prison sentence or dead......

It's interesting to note that Americans have found this website!

Yes and we know where all these units will be destined for when the North gets rid of them - the west country!

As there has been talk on here about the narrowing of the A379 main road in Dawlish I thought I would start a new thread about the above. The road at Countess Weir, because it needs widening, will be reduced to single lane traffic for the next 62 weeks so that the necessary roadworks can take place. That road is always nose to tail at rush hours throughout the year and on Saturdays and bank ...

It's what was James's Plantation

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has said that a significant majority of show organisers have declined to co-operate with the new guidelines. The new regulations include stricter checks on pilots, better training for organisers and a sharp increase in CAA inspection fees. In some cases they will go from £2,695 to over £20,000.

One suspect was taken into custody yesterday evening, suspected of being related to burglary offences in the Dawlish region. Whilst burglaries are rare, there is often a trend in a spike of burglaries over a short period of time. The suspect was spotted by a vigilant Dawlish PCSO and swiftly raised the alarm. The suspect was subsequently arrested and taken to custody. Fantastic team work and ...

It's entry by ticket only Cassandra.  Which will be available to secure via on-line applications later this month. I believe that it's a total of 50,000 tickets over the two days and lots of local b&b's and campsites are already reporting mass bookings for that weekend.

Why, Brian?

Well done team.

Last time I went through Teignmouth I saw quite a bit of new housebuilding. Other than making a comment about planning applications neither Dawlish or Teignmouth Town Councils have any clout when it comes to what gets built or not in their respective towns. That decision making is the perogative of TDC councillors who sit on TDC's planning committee BUT BUT BUT what decisions they make are ...

More good news for the town then. Any more businesses, services, infrastructure leaving Dawlish the place is going to end up like a Calais migrant camp in a few more years. Any way will the last one out please turn off the lights, thats if we still have any of course

Thought as much.

The scoping opinion document stating no more than 180 houses at Secmaton Farm!  The temporary SANGS within the consultation draft framework was for 140 houses, so where is the SANGS for the potentially 40 others coming from? http://docimages.teignbridge.gov.uk/Planning/StreamDocPage/obj.pdf?DocNo=3714679&PageNo=1&content=obj.pdf

Funny you mention that as a kid it was my job to empty the bucket loo in a trench that then would grow the spud crop they were the best potatoes you ever tasted.

I couldn't agree more.

Thanks Lynne, I have signed the petition and shared it on Facebook.

A bit rich coming from Mrs C!!!
