Thank you Don for this information. Perhaps something will now be done for this unfortunate family. It gives Dawlish a bad name when things like this go on and nothing is done about it.

Princess Anne visited a convalescent home for retired railway workers in Dawlish as part of a whistle-stop tour of Devon and Cornwall. She toured Bridge House, the last remaining facility of a network created around the country more than a century ago, and officially opened a new set of rented apartments. The princess met staff, local dignitaries, young children and chatted individually to ...

Me to looking forward to it

someone from the new houses was moaning about the cars/people around Gatehouse school, maybe it was him, fed up with trying to get past school traffic.

A DAWLISH footballer had to pull out of the squad after he was bitten by a venomous spider. Steve Harris (pictured) , 22, was forced to undergo an emergency operation at Torbay Hospital after being bitten by a false black widow, one of the most poisonous spiders in the country. He said: "When I woke up I had a pain in my side — a stinging feeling. I didn't take that much notice until it started ...

@Michael clayson As expected the political lies, book passing, and public missleading have extended to this topic. Wrote to Mr Pickles via e-mail to complain about his involvement in this planning application. The response is nothing short of a joke Via email Our Ref:    ER/80/027910/13 9 October 2013 Thank you for your e-mail of 11 September addressed to the Secretary of ...

I like the B it gets from Dawlish to St Thomas in 40 minutes.  The 11 is good for anyone wanting to go to a evening show in Torquay...

@Taylorjack913 . the way it faces now( east), is in the best possible position. when they turn it round west, you cannot see the station.  they would have to move the entire webcam. why not e-mail them?  or if you live near the railway with railway visible, why not have a webcam on your house?   just a thought.

Brazilnut has,gone very quiet ..maybe been called up to help Ed in Westminster.

agreed there paul

You can really form an opinion by the word content ..'f this and that'. I think Paignton may not be far enough!

Dawlish Barca 2, Honiton Troopers 1 Honiton Troopers Under-9s were edged out in a close encounter, writes Dave Haysom. Troopers started strongly with Lewis Clyburn, Peter Osborne and Harvey Haysom working hard in midfield and creating chances for Louie Stevens. With some solid defending from Jess Spence and Ben Mottram the Dawlish side were kept at bay. When the defence was penetrated, ...

Or as i like to call it OAP FC.

Yes I agree,very good programme but only 20 minutes of it.Should have edited out the section on newquay and bath(i think it was bath), and had 10 minutes more. Pity about people that moan though.But it was good programme.

Well first of all when I read PSCO and Pettinelli I then began to read the first line and though what was she doing in Septemember around "1945" then reading again I realise it meant the time of day not era. It's a shame that youth, or anyone to that matter can see this as being fun. Thought being dark around that time I wonder how they were seen to be doing it, where they approached or waved off. ...

..WE HAVE WAYS OF MAKING YOU TALK.   BIG SMILE BIG SMILE..

Eggsactly, i agree with you . but some farmers charge eggtortionate prices. and you are poaching all my best yolks , but you still crack me up.

It was a truly memorable end to the Triathlon Season at Dawlish on Sunday for the N1 Tri Club and all the emphasis was on teamwork. The race was in fact a duathlon comprising of a 4km run followed by a 21 km cycle and finally a 5.8 km run as the rough sea meant swimming was unsafe. The club attended the race ‘gang handed’ and many individuals gave excellent performances. See more.. ...

BB check out your rights before you do anything don't rely on what someone on here tells you.                Fred Bassett, the British may have won the war back then but who's winning it now and who's laughing at who. So really you want a company to pay £270 million to buy a business then give it to the British because we beat them in a playground fight 70 years ago. have you heard yourself ?

I can see some problems with that, bridges, tunnels etc and areas where the track is curved. The idea of a new line is to make it as straight as possible. the question if the line is worth the cost or spend the money elsewhere is very debateable.

Land subsidies - if this helps for example potato's in the uk currently fetch £265 a tonne average in holland £175, France £169, Belgium £162 without subsidies how much would those potato's be???? They have recently changed the subsidies and there are very few for bare land now the main subsidies are for land with crops, from 2014 landowners will have to prove they farm or they will lose their ...

Holiday makers have gone home so now they have to fight for a reduced trade

Please be aware of the adverse weather, the dip by The Smugglers is flooded and also other areas around Dawlish. These have been reported and hopefully should be getting sorted. Please drive at a sensible speed and increase your breaking distances.

I believe he has a shop in town , which is now closing down

thats the way I feel about cameron and ids

The difference is that many homes down here were bought by people already resident in the UK full time.  In some parts of London (various Boroughs have this problem, there is no "Borough of London", there are Boroughs that make up London) homes are being marketed abroad "off plan" before other parts of the developments are then marketed in the UK.  This is inflating the prices that are paid and ...

Time will tell if things change

Very naughty of the Gazette.  You'd think they get their facts right.  Surely they tried to get a quote from the school.  Hope they won't doing "Eye of Dawlish" journalism! ;p

@Mcjrpc I will most certainly be keeping everyone up to date on what happens.  I've deliberately avoided giving a running commentary on the ideas posted here as I don't think that helps.  I'd much rather read other people's ideas. As for the TCM, yes still very much in place.  If you want to email me on mclay1990@gmail.com I'd be happy to pass on any messages.
