I have never had a car and only live where services are good. Was looking at Service 2 bus timetable ..wonder how many know the last bus from Newton is at Midnight arrives in Dawlish 0035 everyday!

I think some people are forgetting it was the old administration that made the disastrous decision to purchase Park Road (of which cllr Bloomfield was a member), but it is the new administration which has had to sort out the sorry mess.

Thanks Paul. I think my circumstance/problem might not be Bradleys fault -- it might be entirely because they had been given the run around / wrong impression from the owner / landlord who had given them instructions to advertise a property for rent, which now is not available to rent. It is just rather annoying when I had set my heart on that property and now have to look for something else, ...

How about a picture of the sea wall being battered by stormy weather? This was posted by 'Newshound' a while back. I think we should have something newsy.

No idea Huw, but would be happy to sit down & discuss

Seems from the advert in today's Gazette (see bottom page 27) that they will be recruiting staff in August for their new store in T'mouth. Anyone know when it is due to open?

Although not a member of the Dawlish steering group which was heavily involved in producing the Dawlish N'bourhood Plan, along with other non steering group members I was someone who took a lot of interest in this process as threads on this website will testify. As this community involvement process rolls out throughout the rest of the country I feel sure others will see the ...

Have to agree with Nelson, that was a bit moody of you carer!

Batley Sports and Tennis Centre hosted an Under-16 Octopush (underwater hockey) tournament last Saturday as part of the Kirklees Active Leisure (KAL) games. Teams travelled from Teignmouth and Dawlish in the South West plus Manchester and Rochdale to take part while the hosts fielded two teams. Read more ...

Morning all! We hope you're all well and looking forward to this afternoon's activities?! Obviously the weather has caused quite a lot of concern, but we've spoken to the Red Arrows this morning and they can see no reason why they shouldn't be able to display at Dawlish this afternoon. As such we're still anticipating that the flying display will commence around 1200 but should anything ...

Hello Zoe Lee's Bar seems to be registered on Facebook but I don't have an account so I am not sure if you can contact them through that website. Gerald's supermarket have a community board by the door where people put up postcards for sale, for rent etc. Perhaps you could ask them to put up a notice asking after your family...the locals tend to pop in for a pint or a paper especially on days ...

Picnic in the park is now "Tea in the Tent". The show will indeed go on with activities relocated to the Marquee. If weather is bad tomorrow the Generation Games will become "Indoor Games", also in the Marquee.

I live on the road in question and have done so for the last 40 years. In our early days here it was the B3381, a quiet leafy lane, used mostly by locals. Possibly about 20 years ago it was de-classified and since then it has become increasingly busy and is now a rat-run morning and evening. Not infrequently, cars come down the last section of the hill, two abreast, as despite the crossroad and ...

£120K sounds like a win-win to me. Well done to our elected representatives for relieving taxpayers of the burden left by the previous CON-DEM administration. I'm pleased that our council have insisted that it must be local housing for local people (not in Royston Vasey style though hopefully).

You post extremely unpleasant comments on a public forum and are surprised that people challenge you? I gather you run a business, I wish I knew which it was so I don't put any custom your way.

Angela, an ambassador for the Alzheimer's Society, was presented with Memories, a new scented variety bred at Whetman Pinks in Dawlish in South Devon.

A Devon town long-associated with violets is to resurrect a tradition centred around the flowers. Dawlish will revive its Violet Ball, an event which started when the popularity of the flowers declined, to raise money for Cancer Research UK and The Strand Centre. In the 1920s and 1930s Dawlish was more famous for its violets than its beaches and many people visiting Dawlish would wear a posy ...

What happened to the trains today at Dawlish?

For those who may wonder where you can buy the Souvenir Guide, there is a list on the jubilee website or facebook page. Rob C

9.30 - 11.00 am outside the URC, The Strand, Dawlish

Perhaps then the issue could be raised with one of our District councillors given that four of 'em are Conservative and TDC is now Conservative controlled.

Thanks. Will have a go.

MEMBERS of Dawlish carnival committee completed an epic wheelbarrow walk from Dawlish to Newton Abbot, raising hundreds of pounds for the annual carnival. The team embarked on the 23-mile trip along the main road, pushing their barrow in front of them. Michael Butterfield and Maggs Farley walked the whole way with others helping out, both on foot and in safety vehicles. Source: ...
