Two men have been arrested after a night time robbery at a Dawlish holiday park. A member of staff is recovering after he was hit with a sharp object, possibly an axe, in the raid at Golden Sands holiday park, Week Lane, Dawlish Warren at 1am on Tuesday morning. Police say that up to four raiders wearing balaclavas forced members of staff to open a safe containing a large quantity of cash. One ...

We should form a welcoming committee!

@ Fred Have pulled up close to a Buzzard in the car many times and they are not at all bothered, but, when that car door opens up, that's a different story. They don't hang around as soon as that happens.

As someone who was critical of many aspects of Carnival week,  I thought the Airshow and entire weeked was fantastic, right through to Monday night in the Marquee.   Hopefully it's clear for all to see that collaborating rather than being a closed shop is in the town's interest.  I was very proud to see how Dawlish raised its game.  More of the same please!

Heck of a rush to get the washing in!

A member of staff has been injured in a night time robbery at a Dawlish holiday park. Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident at Golden Sands holiday park, Week Lane, Dawlish Warren at 1am on Tuesday morning. It is thought the victim was hit with a 'sharp object', possibly an axe. He is recovering in hospital. Acting DCI Nick Wilden said: “This would have been a very busy bank holiday ...

What a great 2 days , Great for the family  .  My kids loved it .Well done to everyone.

Just come back from the town. It is positively heaving with people and all high areas (Lea Mount, Sandy Lane Playing Fields, hill by The Smugglers) also full of people. Will be watching from the front and back windows of my house. Perfect weather for an air display. Must go now - Red Arrows have probably just taken off from Exeter Airport and due to arrive here shortly.

Well said hedgehog.

There was loads of dust, shower required!

Thanks.  I love seeing old pictures of Dawlish.  Does anyone know if Dawlish Airshow organises any aerial photos or do the crews need to be focused on the flying?  They'd make very good local history documents.

A two day event by Dawlish Air Show starting on Friday 23rd with (ground attractions only) Saturday 24th The Red Arrows will open the Air Show. On Sunday 25th we have Dawlish Celebrates, a family funday on the Lawn from 12noon. A hog roast and 60's tribute band in the Marquee from 7.30pm. The weather is looking good, have a great weekend.

@Duckileaks .yes i e-mailed them got a very quick response to say exactly what you said in your post.

Thank you to those who have responded. I'm still looking so if anyone knows of anything suitable, with parking, please contact me.

Fire appliances from Dawlish and Teignmouth were mobilised to a report of a fire in a first floor flat in High Street in Dawlish. Upon arrival crews crews gained entry and rescued two persons from the flat who were suffering from smoke inhalation from a fire involving an electrical cooker. They used breathing apparatus, a hose reel jet, a covering jet, a thermal imaging camera and small tools to ...

Those tankers have also been pumping out all week on sandy lane carpark. South West Water aswell. None of them had paid for a parking ticket to be parked allday. Try that if you was a trader.

@ Don & Mary Thanks for that. I will get onto it after my holiday late september.

Police say two men from the Teignbridge area are on their 'most wanted' list and warned the public not to approach them. Drugs dealer Damien Pearce 36 is known to have been living in the Dawlish area and has had class A dealing connections in Teignmouth. Another man Aaron Elliott-Smith, sought by Totnes and Newton Abbot police has 252 crimelinks to his name. He failed to appear in court after ...

Flour or flower?  There's a not so subtle difference!

On alternate Thursdays, the next one being 29th August, we hold a Healer's Support Group for anyone interested in the concept of spiritual healing.  It is an opportunity for people who have an empathy with others to sense the energies that are freely available from the Universal Source, Spirit, God, whatever you perceive that to be and practise the technique of healing on each other.  We also ...

Anyone is welcome to pop in between 2.00 p.m. and 4.00 p.m. on a Tuesday afternoon for a ralaxing and uplifting healing session with one of our Registered Spiritual Healers.  If you have never set foot inside a Spiritualist Church, let me assure you that there is absolutely nothing to fear, we are quite normal but have learned to attune to the Universal Energies which are the life-force of all ...

The Medium for this Sunday will not be Jamie Tennant as advertised due to a Booking error but in his place we have Claire Corner, a lovely lady who we can rely on to give us a truly spiritually uplifting Service.  She was with us only a few weeks ago for a Sunday Service and we are very fortunate that she has agreed to stand in at such short notice.  Please come along and enjoy the evening with ...

Here's hoping all those awaiting the results get the grades they need to do whatever it is they are (A Level results allowing) planning to do.

Yes, Dawlish News does photo developing and next door, Vivian Gallery, does assorted prints, picture framing etc (or at least used to, I've not bought a picture recently).

A new cycle path is being built from Exeter to Plymouth allongside the A38 plus 7 further cycle routes on Dartmoor at a cost i believe in excess of 7 million pounds.  I also understand when the route alongside the A38 is complete cycles will be banned from the A38 and the riders will have to use the cycle way.

Just a slight change of subject when are we to stop paying for S.W.Water's operation Clean Sweep If I remember prices had to go up for the users Not the shareholders to improve the under investment from previous years.Who's bloody fault is that?

@EmmaJ your quite right. so who went to the carnival at ipplepen carnival from the dawlish committee? and who actually ran the raft race? can anyone confirm. it sound's so much to be a split committee of one group interested in dawlish and one in themselves. so let's get some facts flowing if anyone knows? and i agree we can overlook it and laugh at the situations but kids are not growing up with ...

Have checked the job again. It's a vacancy for an Air Traffic Control Assistant (as in being an assistant to the air traffic controllers) as opposed to it being a vacancy for an Assistant Air Traffic Controller (which is what I originally typed). The placing of that word 'assistant' does, actually, make an awful lot of difference.

Let's be "Fair" about this. No one can knock Mr Rowland, he is a buisnessman and has done much good for the Town over the years, from helping the costs of the Bowling Green, repairing the lawn on numerous occasions and donating many items for local charities and groups. He is not to blame in all this, and I say that if he can bring that many rides down (which for a "carnival" week is way too many) ...

Just like MAGIC

Theyve been part of our Carnival for so long

I am looking for a three bedroom house with garden.  I am on Housing Benefit but top-up is not a problem.  I have two children and a cat. Thank you.

Fred will this cause problems for the fair vehicles?
