Does anyone know of a primary to 11+ tutor within the Dawlish area please, for a year 6 student.

Despite thousands of us getting in touch with our MPs to demand changes to the Lobbying Bill, I’m sad to report not enough of them supported the amendments we wanted. I’m writing today as we need to take action again. As it stands the Lobbying Bill will still badly affect our ability to campaign for the rights of the world’s poorest people. But all is not lost. The Bill will be debated in the ...

I heard on the news a couple of weeks ago that there was a water company ( not sure which ) that wanted to put up their prices. The Government stepped in and stopped the intended raise. So why can't they do it with Electric companies.

More houses more council tax , retain jobs in the council and the fat cat pay packets to the senior employees in the council.

If you would like a Devon and Cornwall Police 'No Trick or Treat' poster for your house in preparation for Halloween PM your address and one will be posted through your letter box.

Marine Parade (near the turn to the Warren).

One problem with a lot of mp's is that they don't understand that it is not their views they should be putting across, but the views of the electorate who voted them in. I may be dreaming here, but aren't mp's supposed to champion our causes and not their own. You don't see many mp's who were either unemployed or on min age becoming mp's do you !

Why can't they sort this out, it's been like this for ages?

This seems like an excellent idea but why can't they team up with the Woodland Trust.  Then maybe there could be an option of free fruit trees being delivered to schools, or even encouraging the setting up of community orchards.

Police in Devon have arrested a 35-year-old man who was wanted for recall to prison. Damian Pearce, from Dawlish, was arrested in in Exeter yesterday, Thursday, October 17, for a motoring offence.

THE Late Mrs Early will be presented at the Shafesbury Theatre, Dawlish, by the town's rep group from October 22 to 26. The comedy is by Norman Robbins, one of this country's most-treasured and prolific authors of pantomimes and plays.

Hi, I am after any memorabilia of Golden Sands over the years, anything from brochures to photos. I have holidayed there for 29 years and my parents before that, but it has gone down hill terribly under the new owners. I am interested in the history of the place and how's it's changed so if anyone has anything I'd be grateful to hear from you! My email is richardsonaaron@hotmail.com thanks!

I remember the old row of shops, loved them! Definitely has lost some charm now though. And when are they going to do something with the sunburnt arms?!

I would like to invite you to the opening meeting of the SAVE THE TEIGN ESTUARY TRAIL CAMPAIGN to be held on Monday 28th October at 7:000pm at Bitton House Teignmouth. It is without doubt that the Teignmouth to Newton Abbot Cycle Path will have significant economic, tourism and health benefits for our community. It will be a facility which can be enjoyed by all, not only cyclists but pedestrians, ...

Perhaps we should send the politicians to prison so they can explain to the prisoners their decision in person?

@Don Yes naughty but couldn't resist.  There's always Tor of course if you're prepared to risk the dark internet although it looks like NSA may even have hacked that when the Silkroad web-site was brought down.

Absolutely right b.o.liking. Churchill was stockpiling chemical weapons and considering their use in WW2 - see http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/like-assad-churchill-liked-to-stockpile-poison-gas-8876357.html US deployed agent orange during the Vietnam War - " Vietnam estimates 400,000 people were killed or maimed, and 500,000 children born with birth defects as a result of the use of ...

Well done Octopushers!!

You mean the showcase or the improvement to the building? Don't know about the other building you mention but I'm happy to see the council retain and renovate it.

You'll all be pleased to know there were several arrests last night by the looks of it, didn't see any aggresiveness, but one chap in cuffs sat on a bench, and a  copper with 2 others.

so it would seem Paul the answer to your question is, all that money spent on redevelopement has not made one iota of difference. Should have left it as it was

Unlike you ...................................

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.

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.

@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 State about a planning ...

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.

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