This coming Sunday, 2nd February Tracey Evans will be our Guest Speaker.  She is now building up her experience as a Medium and working confidently with her Guides to make the necessary connection to the Spirit World in order to reassure people that their departed loved ones are still watching over them.  Our Sunday Service is not too formal and is amongst friends; please come along and join us at ...

Brilliant, thanks Leatash!

flo i have the same thoughts about making claims but i had 3 hefty repair bills due to potholes in as many weeks so decided enough was enough folk generally wont report things as they always believe someone else has.  The secret is the more folk complain adding the phrase i think my car is damaged its amazing how fast repairs are carried out.

MORE than 50 officers – 12 of them armed – took part in a flurry of raids in Dawlish and other parts of Teignbridge after a suspected gun shooting and robbery in the town. Read more: http://www.dawlishnewspapers.co.uk/News.cfm?id=2932

@flo I'm no expert but surely it must have helped at the start of January when the Brook was particularly high ........

Ah, so that is what is was!

Goes to show how you have to look behind the un/employment figures that are published in the press. Here's what Channel 4 news has to say on employment in London and employment elsewhere in the country. http://www.channel4.com/news/london-north-south-divide-cities (My point being, just in case you wondered, is that just because London in particular is creating jobs that doesn't necessarily ...

YOUR THEATRE NEEDS YOU! “Oh! What A Lovely War” The play to commemorate the start of World War 1 on 4th August in 1914 will run from Monday 4th August, 2014 to Saturday 9th August, 2014 and will support other Dawlish town events held during the year. The Dawlish Repertory Company would welcome anyone who would like to become involved in this iconic production, and would be delighted to ...

Just to pass on, Presents of Dawlish are advertising on Facebook that you can collect a voucher from the shop that allows £3 discount each time you spend £10 on Thorntons Chocolates in their store The voucher lasts until 30 March so that covers Valentines and Mothers Days, and you can use it as often as you like.

Took the words.......

Yes it is getting better anybody out there fit patio doors.

@OF  I have seen this news on another local site, and given information to the eye witness about who they should contact at Teignbridge to report this I think that is the appropriate first step, I think it is then up to Teignbridge as the landowner to contact the police if they think it necessary

I think we have been here before it will all end in tears the improvement in the economy is being fueled by folk spending what they havent got rates will increase and then back to square one.

Where on earth did they find 12 police officers? I wasn't aware there were that many in the whole of Devon. Although on the BBC news last night I saw at least that number guarding the gates at No 10!

Hesitant to speak about someone else's opinion but, when I went to see her I was told she felt it an unnecessary change because of Civil Partnerships and might cause offence to others who felt marriage should be between different genders, i realise this may now cause some people to write and express agreement / disagreement with that, and potentially lead to another rolling argument between ...

The search began at approximately 6.30pm yesterday evening, when police were informed of a man who had gone missing in the Dawlish area. Police conducted a search of the coastline, with coastguard rescue teams from Exmouth, Teignmouth and Torbay, two lifeboats from Exmouth and Teignmouth, and an RAF search and rescue helicopter from RMB Chivenor. Rescuers searched the land and sea areas from ...

Thank you very much Flo.,

@Daverc happy to get answers to any questions you have.  If you want to post them on here, I will reply in kind. BTW agree the TC website could be better, some councillors are looking at it, genuinely sorry that it's not better. Michael Clayson town councillor

Sounds good to me.

Oh yes! Our young people. For whom I despair and who I despair of. I'll start a new thread.

There's nothing wrong with wealth it's what you do with it I have told the story byefore my father a very wealthy self made man who shared the company's profits with the men who worked for him.  He believed that the  redistribution of wealth was the correct way to conduct his business

It would be great if there was one of these for building your own car!

http://www.teignmouth-today.co.uk/News.cfm?id=808&headline=Cycle+trail+%E2%80%98will+go+ahead%E2%80%99%2C+says++county+supremo The councillor making the above promise has just been on the local TV news stating that Devon's roads need 750 million pounds of repairs. He has even invited the Prime minister to visit in person to see the state of the roads. With this in mind how can he promise tax ...

ANGUS MENTER continued his good form in 2014 as he led Haldon Trail Runners home at Dawlish Coasters' Oh My Obelisk race on Sunday. Menter, who finished ninth in the previous weekend's First Chance 10k, came home sixth overall and third male over-40 in 1hr 19mins 46secs. He was the first of five club members to finish, with Nathan White 30th in 1:28.55, Anthea Whitaker 61st in 1:37.09, ...

I understand the concern people have about developers carelessly building houses anyway, potentially wrecking the whole area and running off with the profits. However when some people moan about it, it comes across as if they just don't want anyone else living here.

Well, this is what the Office for Budget Responsibility thinks. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/immigration-will-help-clear-deficit-say-treasurys-economic-advisers-1432273

To help protect the sea wall at Dawlish, and other vulnerable stretches of the main railway line, then why not do what they have done at Sidmouth (even though they have no railway) and put 2 'artificial islands' just off the beach, which helps break up the waves and protect the sea wall and properties on the esplanade. We had the opportunity to do this some years ago when the sea defences were ...

Thank you so much Paul and DJ for the information, will follow them up

A visitor has admitted taking part in a robbery at a Dawlish holiday camp site where a member of staff was allegedly threatened with an axe. Craig Lockyer pleaded guilty to the £12,000 robbery at the Golden Sands park but a second man denied the charge and police inquiries are continuing into at least one other man. Lockyer, aged 27, of Hillside Close, Radstock, near Bath, admitted robbing ...

for the following: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03nycpj/features/awards-categories and also: (and yes I know Dawlish is a tourist spot but not all of the parish of Dawlish and what goes on in the parish of Dawlish is, is it?) • Suggest a Countryfile location As we look to the year ahead, we want to hear from you.  What part of the British Isles would you love to see featured on ...

I did get outside and do some work, kept the chainsaw going so reasonably warm, that breeze was cold, I'm not moaning I'd sooner have today rather than the past month. Nice picture

@Lynne -  i worked at one of the caravan sites down there for several years and it always flooded every year. the water would be up to a foot deep or so  along the dyke wall. even with pumps on site the water still came up through the man holes. at the time the water company was aware of the extensive new builds in plan and advised they would not be increasing their facilities anytime soon. says ...

Oh the irony of it all! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/houseprices/10553311/Immigrants-make-better-tenants-because-they-work-harder-says-major-landlord.html

My question is what about the couple's under 25 who are both working have children but will not be able to claim hb.  Lynne you made a good point in the previous post about collecting tax from the multinationals that pay little or no tax surely that is the way forward fairness to all is my thought of the day.

There is a ship that sucks sand up at Teignmouth, and takes it into the docks (apparently)

Late notice.  If you're interested in trees watch the Great British Garden Revival this evening at 7pm.  It's featuring Stone Lane Gardens which is a national arboretum for birch and alder near Chagford - fantastic place.

I have a spare water pump and hoses if anyone gets caught out, also we have spare accomodation if anyone does get flooded out.
