The south-west Last year’s floods and infrastructure failings – notably the loss of railway tracks at Dawlish in Devon – highlighted the parlous state of the region’s transport links. Transport made up the bulk of the chancellor’s pledges, although most of the investment has been announced already.

I know they have to deliver but if itwas done overnight or early mornings ie 4am itwould cause less hassle

I thought I'd share this as it might appeal to someone who contributes to or just lurks on this forum.

Hi, Just a quick question if you don't mind, please could anyone give me any idea of events that are on in or around Dawlish and the Warren over Easter.

Do people worry about Blue Flag beaches anymore? I ask as seeing a certain Ad on TV, it seems that it is quite 'twee' to be able to swim with Pigs in the Caribbean, unless those pigs are house trained.

Wondering there's some interesting stuff posted on here. Not sure why that should be banned just because you can't ignore it.  Probably best just to not visit the site.

Spring and summer are just around the corner, which means barbeques, swim parties and camp outs are going to be all the rage.  Is your yard ready for the spotlight?  Preparing your yard to host guests is not only fun, but easily affordable if you know what you are doing.  Do not worry about custom designing furniture or hiring a decorator to make your yard look spectacular.  Here are some ways you ...

Teignbridge District Council's share of the Council Tax remains unchanged for the sixth year in a row after Full Council approved budget plans for the coming financial year.

To return to Elm Grove Road being the only road in and out (until the road from Sainsbury's roundabout gets built). So, Elm Grove Road/Gatehouse end of Secmaton Lane is to be used by building site traffic which will go past two schools, a nursery (believe Gatehouse farmhouse is being turned into a nursery) an ever increasing amount of residential property and a therefore ever increasing amount ...

I promised to report back what I found about a new school car park Teignbridge referred me to the S106 agreement for 11/03265 on their planning portal, and in particular page 21 (Which is actually page 35 of 39 of the PDF) This states “The non residential car parking spaces shall at all times be made available for public use on a short stay basis between 8am – 4pm Mondays to Saturdays” I ...
