Tapas and San miguel on draft hopefully. Will be giving that a try out for sure

Can everyone who has experienced anti-social behaviour/trading outside licenced hours in Dawlish town centre please come along on the 24 April at 6.30pm at the Manor House. If we all start talking and working together we will have a much better chance of making Dawlish a town to be proud of. Bring along as many examples of incidents as you can ie dates/photos! The police are concentrating ...

Some direct feedback on this potential issue, from a contributor to the national newspaper article, linked above: "Having lived for almost 2 years 'across the road' from a pig farm, housing around 3000 pigs, I can tell you the smell can be unbearable when the vents on the sheds are opened. Living in the country, you get used to farmyard smells, but NOTHING equals the smell of thousands of pigs ...

Ah, McGonagall, an unsurpassed poet of his time!  Is he your favourite?

And the Guardian is a neutral media source is it?

Means... the Pig Factory has allowed a stray to something new to moan about lol

They are there until 4pm

sorry @neilh , at the moment there is no voting module available, but i will look into getting one. also, i'll look into having a disagree button.

Fire crews were called to an address in Dawlish to test levels of carbon monoxide after reports of the dangerous gas in the air on Sunday morning. They attended a property in Churchill Avenue with a gas detector. A man at the address was reported to feel light headed. Read more: ...

Just noticed that this stretch of road has had it's centre line added. It used to be mainly double  white line that prevented overtaking but now is single.  Today we watched a near head on collision in the making as some idiot overtook two cars with out sight of oncoming traffic. Wonder why DCC changed the marking, they were doing far more than 40 by the way.

Well Fred my prediction is that those who can afford it may live on the new site BUT a new camp will take its place for those who cannot or will not pay.

Hi, Not quite sure what happened but there was a colission, There seemed to be at least 1 bus involved along with a car. Cars turning round stated it looked like 2 buses head on but that seemed to be incorrect, the road was closed for approx 15b minutes. Gentleman stood out in the pooring rain slowing the traffic down so as to avoid another accident, there are still some good people around.

@DJ if you avoid the news you can probably avoid the posts here. i know you are trying to be reasonable but its not compulsory. and @wondering . you haven't of course taken the opportunity to 'make some political points' have you? bless

Advance notice of the 100th anniversary of the pilgrimage for women's suffrage, which will be coming through Dawlish and Teignmouth in July.  For more info - http://dreadnoughtsouthwest.org.uk/

keep the minute silence if you want to - don't keep it if you don't want to, no-one can make you do it either way, it is your own free and personal choice - end of story

I think it's a good thing at least the site will now get cleaned up, It won't look such an eyesore, the children will have to attend school, and their will be some sort of accountability. They will get refuse collection and therefore not need to dump rubbish. As for council tax what about all these people living 11 months of the year in their caravans on Peppermint, Oakcliff, ladysmile etc etc ...

@HuwMatthews - which bit was "illinformed"- her homophobia or her implicit racism?

@DJ , i didn't read the article, i did just presume it was about margaret thatcher. i've been publicly shamed and have learnt my lesson. Now having read the article and letters. Glenda is right to be outraged by a fellow politician, party chairman or not, sending her party BS, which can only be viewed as disrespectful.

Another Thatcher legacy - the wonder of free market philosophy.

12 months for threatening to shoot a bus driver, thats a bit unfair, every ordinary driver on the road has in their thoughts threatened a bus driver at some time. One of those cases were the judge should have considered public opinion. Being a bus driver is only one step worse than being a traffic warden everbody hates them. Thats unless you have a free bus pass of course.

DAWLISH and Teignmouth Camera Club hosted a friendly, but competitive, competition between four camera clubs in South Devon. A packed audience from all four clubs welcomed judge Brian Galbraith, president of the Western Counties Photographic Federation, which embraces over 100 clubs from across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset and South Gloucester.

Glad you had a good time. Here's a little something to remind you of your holiday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16D1VrCQJYQ

Brazil, yes have seen u-tube video. We are all being conned.   By the way, Thatcher has died following a stroke.  I have no further comment to make on this.

I'll second that Ziggy!

Yep payday loans don't help anyone. A typical loan scenario. Borrow £400 for 3 months. At the end of months 1 and 2 you pay a loan charge of £120, at the end of month 3 (end of loan) you pay the loan charge of £120 plus the loan is paid back, £400. On £400 you pay back £760, but the worst part is that you pay £520 for the last payment. Not many people would find this helpful, most won't make ...

Another report for those wanting to know how the seagull (victim)is doing especially the RSPCA who seem to have lost interest. Well the little fella has taken to the wing and is cr---ping merrily over my car.

I think the Langstone Cliff Hotel were very lucky to have a fire engine able to turn up as it seems some units were doing a Dick Van Dyke over a bloody seagull.

South West Water and the Environment Agency are working to improve Dawlish brook by clearing the silted up waterway which runs through the centre of the town to the sea. A computer-generated model of how the water flows from higher up outside the town all the way to the beach will be created. Dawlish Town Council has agreed to pay £3,000 towards the work, Devon County Council £5,000 and ...
