Sounds, at first glance, to be the 'least worst' of the options they were considering.

Teignmouth and Dawlish will have much stronger health services that look after people for years to come – with community hospitals safeguarded in both towns. Option 1 also states that Teignmouth will have 12 specialist rehabilitation beds to complement the hospital’s gym and physio suite, along with outpatient clinics, day surgery and a community hub for support and information. In addition, ...

The kids responsible for the damage won't be footing the bill, that's for sure. Likewise their parents - who probably are quick to moan about the cost of council tax...

The electricfication of the line will now only go to Swindon and further on much later.  The East Midlands line, York-Sheffield shelved, as Is the Trans Pennine service.

The old and very dilapidated vicarage by any chance?

There's no 'alleged' about it. Martin McGuinness was an IRA gunman and 2i/c of the IRAs Derry Brigade at the time of Bloody Sunday. As far as I'm concerned, the protest lost all credibility as soon as he was shoved up on stage. 1300 Security Forces died in his, and his likes, 30 year war plus around 2000 civilians (to put perspective on this 255 soldiers were killed in the Falklands, 179 in ...

And that is why the Green party has only one MP, in Brighton of all places, which says it all.

Just a shame they are taking soooooooo looooooooong to finish the path!

Saw lots of these jellyfish on my walk today down along the beach at Teignmouth. Some very fine examples still intact and seemed to be possibly alive.

@OurSoul I rarely buy the paper version of a newspaper these days, instead preferring to read the news online (more up-to-date you know), and that includes using my smartphone when out and about.  I've even been guilty of doing that down at the cove, but then it's no different to having my head buried in a book or newspaper, which is a pretty popular pastime for beachgoers. Anyway, the ...

Yesterday the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, made a speech about the NHS. Below is an extract where he refers specifically to the elderly. Admittedly he has their medical needs/the NHS in mind but the point is that if we are to continue having an ever increasing elderly population then surely we will need more accommodation suitable for the needs of the elderly? “Within 5 years we will be ...

Two hives containing thousands of bees stolen from an orchard near Dawlish between June 9 and 10. Beekeeper Brian Hunt, who took up the hobby last year, said that when he discovered the hives were missing, he saw a few confused bees who had returned loaded with pollen, only to find their homes had gone.

Huw messaged 1263 very good

Just been told there is still some work to finish before the steps can be put in place. One of the security guards told me they have been told unofficially it maybe opened the end of July or begining of August.

IDS- Massive cost overrun on DWP  computer system - would have been shown the door in real life IDS  Failed Tory leader Are we  surprised ???

Re the above typical lah blah from MP'S - Anyone pick up the story in the paper ( daily mail ?)  a couple of weeks ago that the southwest will be getting next to nought now that the lib dems are no longer in goverment and no longer able to get political concessions  for the southwest.

Its been on the market a while already, I think it will struggle to sell

The road diversion signs at Matford are misleading. You can drive all the way to Staplake Road and then go round the back same as the bus.

See this week's Dawlish Gazette. (If memory serves, people living in that area pointed out to the planners way back in 2008/9 that there would be problems with sewage disposal. And were they listened to? Seems not). And I've found this - letter from South West Water dated 2012 concerning the new housing development(s) and sewage disposal. ...

Patterns have always played a role in home decor, and the latest trends seem to revolve around big bold patterns and mixing them with other patterns that complement each other.  According to Tidbits and Twine, the most important role of working with multiple patterns is making sure the patterns complement each other rather than compete with each other.  Patterns will always be a classic home décor ...

Visted patient at Southmead yesterday (Saturday). Strongly suggest that if anyone else goes patient visiting that they do so at the weekend. Plenty of spaces in the car park. Whole complex so very, very, quiet compared to the mayhem of week days. If you can avoid going to Southmead Mon-Fri.  Do!

Most on the list are not 'Landlords' but 'Letting Agencies' acting for landlords. i.e. I'm sure the people that own Devon Rose don't trouser £82k themselves.

PEOPLE in Dawlish have been taking a trip down memory lane by holding a Vintage Bicycle Parade. The Dawlish Vintage and Classic Cycle Parade and Ride took place on The Lawn to support the vintage buses are running between Teignmouth, Dawlish and Dawlish Warren on the same day. The parade was held as part of Dawlish Heritage Day with a Great Storm of 2014 exhibition and museum with choir and ...

Well, I tell you what I was told at the time (2010?) about why this Tuesday market/car boot stopped. This is what was told to me by some of the regular car boot sellers. They said that the person who ran this (succesful!) Tuesday morning market/car boot had been priced out by another, open market only, outfit and that the owner of the field had followed the money and gone with the Wednesday open ...

A date for the next rural skip.  Saturday June 20th at Sandy Lane car park 10am-4pm.

The free booklet has been produced by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership and brings together ideas for great days out in Exeter, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Newton Abbot and along the English Riviera.
