Business leaders at the Warren have welcomed the development, they say it will attract more visitors. The wooden 'shacks' which were previously there were demolished over 10 years ago. It seems a shame the council couldn't have replaced the orginal 'shacks' with a few smaller shops to let out to individual people to rent. The Fun Fair is now being refurbished in time for Easter.

Please can anyone recommend a vinyl/carpet fitter.

Tesco put in planning to build a supermarket on Sandy Lane playing fields in 2007. At that time they offered to buy some houses around that area. They were also looking to purchase the field along the Warren Road for a football pitch plus land at Secmaton Lane for a Foolball social club.

Thank you Judith.

Concrete pumping pipe in place for work starting on Monday 19th January. Use of the pump will be intermittent and driven solely by number of pre-cast concrete installed during suitable weather and tide conditions. The work will be on-going 24/7 to suit tidal constraints and will last for approximately 16 weeks. More pics..

Wonder what will replace it?

On Saturday 06/12/2014 at approximately 13.00 a male called an elderly lady stating he was from social services. He stated that They are dealing with all the el derly in Dawlish and its to do with the medication that they take and what was wrong with them.

The containers are now finished with and are being moved from the sea wall to the Red Rock beach where they are being crushed.

Pasta was not eaten in Australia. Curry was a surname. A takeaway was a mathematical problem. A pizza was something to do with a leaning tower. All potato chips were plain; the only choice we had was whether to put the salt on or not. Rice was only eaten as a milk pudding. Calamari was called squid and we used it as fish bait. A Big Mac was what we wore when it was raining. Brown bread was ...

Looking towards Dawlish Warren. A lot of work still to be done.

Please take time to read the whole story. Here is a extract . Has your attitude to money changed as you’ve got older? I believe in enjoying what money you have. But people should be charitable, too. If I see a member of the Salvation Army with a collection box, I’ll always put something in. I remember, aged four-and-a-half, being ushered into a hall after being evacuated from London to Dawlish, ...

RIP Lynda. Just a shame she didn't reach this Christmas as she so much wanted to.

Traveller John Treagood, a former academic shunned modern life 40 years ago to live happily on the open road. Indeed, anyone who drives around the outskirts of the city, out at Ide, or Exminster, or even on the bypass near Countess Wear, will have seen John, his elegant wagon pulled by his even tempered Irish cob horse, Glidor. A true traveller. Read more... ...

Wonder why that stretch of fence was removed and replaced by a gate?

Page 3 of the Dawlish Gazette today is about the carnival committee threatening legal action on copyright issues. I first posted the carnival weeks events on this website with good intent on letting holiday makers plan their weeks holiday around the events taking place, also I thought a good advert for the carnival. I cannot believe that the carnival committee have made such a big issue over this. ...
