Hi Maud recipes for requested dishes have been emailed :-) That coffee bill is mounting up, I might have to charge your daughter's account when she gets here! ;-) xox

CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A GOOD OVEN CLEANING COMPANY. FOR HOME AND BUSINESS, IN DAWLISH.

I know what you mean, but my kids always enjoyed collecting little things such as a fruit lolly, a toothbrush, pens and pencils, soap and flanel, nothing fancy or expensive. The sort of things most youngsters here would turn their nose up at.

Yeah, nothing worse than a miserable swine.

A dog that can do this should be confiscated as it is obviously out of control and is a danger to people as well as wildfowl. The owner of the dog as well as not having any brain cells is not in possession of £5,000 and so a fine is a pointless exercise. Best to raise a reward in the hope that his/her mates grass him/her up as the dog would have blood on it and someone will have a good idea whose ...

Thousands could beat parking fines after judge tackles £766k 'Mr Clampit' in landmark penalty claim case | Mail Online Mr Renshaw-Smith is a committee member and one of the founders of the unregulated British Parking Association.

Thousands of tonnes of sand could be moved from one east Devon town to another as part of a plan to shore up flood defences and restore a beach. Dawlish Warren had lost about 100,000 tonnes of sand over 15 years, with most of it ending up at Pole Sands, near Exmouth, the Environment Agency said. The agency and Teignbridge Council are considering dredging and bringing sand back along the River ...

This is a short version of a long video showing Euro MPs signing in on Friday morning at 7am with their suitcases they then go home for the weekend. They have to sign in to get their daily allowance which I believe is around £200. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AY03ro0Y14 At the other end of the weekend apparently most meetings are arranged only between Tues and Thursday so they can return ...

What's going on with the stretch of road near Lady's Mile. The road was recently re-surfaced, then double white lines were added and last week reflective studs. Just driven down that stretch of road and the double white lines and reflective studs seem to have been removed. I wonder who's responsible for that blunder!

Shoot it nice in a pie

This has just gone on the town council's website (better late than never eh?) http://www.dawlish.gov.uk/edit/uploads/1006.pdf The winter edition should be out early next month.

Well said that guard!

Hi Jan, Sent text message 9:42am

Just come back from a function that had the most fantastic buffet and am told the customer/client service was just as brilliant. www.lyns-catering.co.uk

I believe that the 2 minutes silence will be observed on the Lawn followed by a small service at 11am. The parade leaves from the Baptist Church opposite the Lansdowne at 2:40pm and proceeds along Park Road, round to the left at the Swan then up to the memorial at St Gregory's Church for approx 3pm. Lets hope for a good turnout at the morning service and along the route and at the memorial.

😂 Please 😂no more😂!!!!

Is this a trick question?  Surely its our very own Anne Marie Morris?

100% agree with Lynne!! Good luck to the lady who has been offered the position - she'll need it knowing some of the backward-thinking moaning lot around here!

TEIGNMOUTH and Dawlish traders are being put on the map with a new community initiative aimed at boosting the profile of each seaside town. New town centre maps which highlight the range of shops and businesses in both places have been produced by Teignbridge Council in partnership with Dawlish Town Council, Teignmouth Town Council and traders in both resorts. The illustrative maps are aimed ...

Since 2008 when DCC introduced their parking regime they have lost £600.000 goes to show that councillors have no idea how to set up a business plan, they also paid Parsons Brinkerhoff £350.000 to map and update traffic orders, when I asked (using FOI) for a copy of their report DCC told me they didnt have one as they didnt ask for one to be done. Unbelievable

The clay mock-ups for foundry processing look fantastic.

Good luck to all concerned. I sincerely hope that it is a success.

Brazilnut - I agree very interesting, to form a balanced opinion it helps to hear the other side ....

In a word. Yes. It is part of the Cavanna/Bovis Homes development being built along Secmaton Lane. I walked through Elm Grove Wood and past James Plantation only this morning. Trees have been felled in James Plantation and there are notices all along its boundary fence with Elm Grove Wood warning of tree felling. I also noticed on the Elm Grove Wood side of the fence that circular yellow ...

Just been down there again - could get through this time although the area was still very wet and there were some puddles about. There were a couple of site workers working where yesterday's flood had been so I asked them what had caused it. From what I can gather from their reply, they (the construction workers) had come across a load of water further up on the site yesterday that they weren't ...

I have looked at this problem and there is no way to stop this the spores are airborn so really it is just a matter of time before all Ash trees are affected.  Reading a recent article from leading experts in Europe it may be possible to engineer our way out of the problem genetically, so it is possible in the future that many of our trees that are dying back Oak, Elm, Chestnut can be replaced.

Thought I would bring to your attention this submission by TDC's Green Infrastructure Co-ordinator concerning the planning application (due to be heard later this month) by Shutterton Park Ltd to build some 300 or so houses behind Sainsbury's. The points (which I've highlighted in red) made by the Green Infrastructure Co-ordinator concerning allotments and fruit/nut growing trees and ...
