Oil prices are going down so we may see further reductions.

It's probably no coincidence that every time I go past Gay's Creamery it's packed with customers - it's open til 9pm and 7 days a week.  Meanwhile this summer I've passed Witches Bowl, Reflections and Dabbling Duck in the afternoon and they've been shut.  I haven't figured out if they've closed down or open and close when they feel like it.

I don't like to see sprawling housing estates but eighty years ago the people of Dawlish probably felt the same about the housing most of us currently live in - anyone seen th photos of Dawlish before the trees were chopped down to make way for all the housing up to East Cliff and West Cliff Roads.  That's unfortunately how it is. If Mr Weeks doesn't farm his land he'd surely be rubbing his hands ...

Does she drive a car I wonder?

I think that the staff at the railway station are very helpful and try their best to help all passengers. Unfortunately they are constrained by a lack of investment in better facilities at the station. For example, a lift is required to make both platforms properly accessible for disabled passengers, and for those with wheelchairs or pushchairs. If you arrive from Exeter after about 5pm there are ...

@flo - yes.

Still not any comments (apart from Paul's) on the carnival itself .

Oil prices are falling supply and demand less demand cheaper fuel just the same as milk.

I don't think there would be so much of a problem if one of the original conditions of development had been the provision of a new road into the estate, possibly from the Exeter Road side.

First arson then this! There are some very bitter food traders in this town. I hope the greasy-haired #### gets caught and sent down.

Bought some plants via an honesty box from a front garden on Exeter Road earlier this year and then again, a couple of weeks back, similar set up, from outside a cottage in Cockwood.

Bump.

@Lynn. Rail Strike on Sunday now ON. Talks broke down and continue  Monday.

Click on this link. http://www.stellabenford.co.uk/collage/ there was talk at one time (last year I think) of whether the town council should purchase it. They didn't. This from the minutes of the 3.9.14 town council meeting: "(c) Artwork of Dawlish (Report TC 94 refers). Consideration was given to the purchase of a piece of artwork entitled “Jet Stream Meets Dawlish,” by a Northampton Artist, ...

Robins was driving a Renault motor lorry, on the A379 Teignmouth Road when it was in ...

I noticed a few weeks back that all the signs saying that it was going to be a new taxi office and asking for new taxi drivers suddenly disappeared. All seems to have gone quiet on this. It hasn't gone to planning committee yet. Some more objections have been lodged recently including one by Michael Clayson with which I whole heartedly agree. Have a read of it. Document dated Monday 27th July ...

There are some names and faces on page two of this week's Gazette.

Ooh there's a question!  I don't know, there's the usual pilots party with entertainment and I suspect a draw. If you're on facebook you could ask on their page or by the website, if you can't let me know and I'll text the committee member I know.

It's number 2 not 8.  Here's the planning link.
