@OurSoul It was just a joke bro, chillout  I cycle all the time. But good news on the cycle path, very positive for Devon which should go someway to promoting a healthier lifestyle for the community.

@Netiquette , Yes, I am in favour of the development of this long-neglected site - however while the application had a lot to recommend it (including the retention of the more salvageable parts of the buildings) the majority view was that the scheme amounted to over-development, with a knock-on effect on amenity. Having spoken to neighbours on all sides, most seem to be generally very supportive ...

Thanks Lynne, all very vague isn't it. We know Cllr Wrigley has a 'strong preference', if it refers to the poll, then that was a sham. I wouldn't mind if CRA and the whole process were democratic, they're not though. If he hasn't got enough signatures by now will he?

I had just finished watching about glorious Devon. You can even search for other locations as well. Find the town or city type it ...

John Adcock from Dawlish and Frances Edwards from Bishopsteignton received awards at the Devon County Council 16th annual Community Transport Awards ceremony at County Hall. John Adcock picked up the outstanding lifetime contribution award for his 31 years of volunteering. Read more... ...

Disgusting.

A pin comes to mind pop and hand it back.

What a great turnout and parade. Well done to Dawlish Royal British Legion for organising it. Makes me feel proud to be British.

Just out of curiousity I typed in What Do They Know Peter Harry and clicked on search. And sure enough it seems PH is still at it. Last FOI request/correspondence involving PH seems to have been but only earlier this year with North Yorkshire Police.

And we are told that the drains and sewers can cope with all the new house building. They cant even cope with a 30 min rain storm or an influx of holiday makers. A major re-think is needed by SWW and the councils. INFRASRUCTURE BEFORE HOUSES its that simple

In many, many years from now, when the sea levels rise and the coast of the UK is pushed further inland, the Dawlish Sea Wall will probably still be standing proud as a testament to the sheer amount of concrete poured into it over the last years or so.  It will be fantastic to be able to walk all the way along the sea wall again.  You don't realise how much you will miss something until you can't ...

In the case of Warren Farm I think you'll find we are talking about one house only. A barn conversion. The legislation that allows this to happen also has various restrictions as to how many houses can be built (believe only barns already in situ) and how big (no bigger than the space already taken up by the barn in question).

Is this for real . Washing line ? FFS

TEDDY bears were parachuting out of the sky as part of an event at a Dawlish church to encourage the community to be a part of the congregation. The event was set up by the Mothers Union Group at the church and it was all part re-engaging the community and making them realise church is not just for baptisms and weddings but is there all the time.

THE coastguard has reminded dog owners to keep their pets on leads near cliff edges following an incident at Dawlish Warren in which two dogs had to be rescued. The incident was reported to the coastguard at around 6.45pm on Friday. Torbay Coastguard and Teignmouth Coastguard attended Read more... ...

It's always been the same and will probably never change as they say that's Dawlish maybe that's why we love it so.

I agree with 'oursoul' clean up the biggest asset Dawlish has. It is full of stinking seaweed and rotting jelly fish - it is not a pleasant place to be in the hot weather!  Even puts me off my choccy biscuits .....I am a responsible dog owner, I walk where I am allowed on all beaches and I pick-up when necessary. I walk all year round, wind rain etc... I therefore put money into anything thats ...

Well I'm  glad that's cleared that up. I always thought Mrs  C had been banned because of the things she said. I didn't  realise that  it was everybody else's  fault.

The decision by health bosses to move Teignmouth Hospital's Minor Injuries Unit to Dawlish has been met with 'bitter disappointment' by campaigners. The South Devon and Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group says the changes have safeguarded the two community hospitals and will ensure both Teignmouth and Dawlish have 'much stronger health services that look after people for years to come.' Read ...

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...

Heard today that Network Rail are not Introducing the new trains In the autumn. The £38.5 billion Is being reset. Some of The work they were going to do may be delayed or cut entirely.

The old and very dilapidated vicarage by any chance?

POLICE are appealing for witnesses to a crash which has left a Dawlish man fighting for his life in hospital. The collision involving a single vehicle happened at around 3pm on Wednesday, June 18 at the junction of Forder Valley and Novorossiysk Road in Plymouth "With the assistance of paramedics, a member of public and the private ambulance driver, the driver of the vehicle starting breathing ...

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 Op ...

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 provision ...
