Hopefully if the Police do pay any attention it will be on the side of the tax paying motorist for a change by issuing fixed penalty notices to cyclists who do not use the cycle paths when available to them. The more you minority road users moan and groan the more attention you are attracting to yourselves and when the government force you to have insurance, road tax and a MOT for your cycles you ...

The main house was previousley the head office for the company ROK. The forestry commision and several other small businesses have offices in and around the gate house complex. The big house was sold 6 or 7 years ago to I believe private buyers. You could find out the present owners from either the land registry or maybe the electoral role

Before you try towing away a persons vehicle parked on your property check that you are insured to do so. My solicitor recommends blocking the offending vehicle in without actually touching it and requesting a reasonable parking fee. If you do attempt to remove you could find yourself on criminal damage charges

Their company director/secretary has had a very colourful past to say the least. My guess is they dont actually do anything only consult on available sites. Information on who they were intending to work with regarding builders etc was not forthcoming the other night and when challenged about their indentity they became very tetchy Will be requesting the whole story from TDC tomorrow under their ...

@Nelson - just how near are you suggesting post office maybe? lol

Ok fine have it your way, when you have no where else to buy your petrol and daily essentials other than the supermarkets and they charge you extortionate amounts of money for such dont come back on here moaning about the prices etc. The only morons are the ones that follow like sheep and support these retail monopolisers. Back in the 1920s The Sainsbury family grocers competed on equal terms with ...

@leatash Dawlish branch of Sainsbury's now proved without doubt to be a total rip off. They only reduced their Diesel price by 2p not the adverised 3p. Justify that if you can.

Has anyone else noticed the sudden influx of cheap & nasty, tacky advertising banners being strung up on all the roadside railings in town. The latest of which being hung across the newly painted viaduct by the Airshow committee. After years of putting pressure on Network Rail to paint the viaduct in an effort to improve its appearance we now find it adorned in this rubbish which could and should ...

Like most things that happen in Dawlish, unless its in their own back yard the people don't actually care. So crack on with your project and best of luck . One line of advice, don't try Nat West bank for any help or you will be wasting your time

Not being an expert but having wasted my time attending the meetings of late is there any legal reason why TDC cannot block all planning applications of say more than five houses, until updated infrastructure is in place. Surely if the Environment agency can block having a car park at the end of the lawn on flood risk grounds they can block mass housing development on high risk polution grounds ...

@burneside Why? Does it make a difference to the point being made or the truth being stated. I suppose you are squeaky clean with God given opinions. Everyone to their own eh! How about we get on with life and forget this issue now

Dont suppose anyone is planning on doing anything to get rid of the scum, where I come from the local youth would have set about them by now. No sign of any Local, District or County Council action then, mind you the state of the town this morning its no wonder the Pikey's feel at home. There is rubbish everywhere, upturned bins across from 2&4 and out side the hairdressers, no sign of the grass ...

@Nelson Since 1999 up until the sad passing of Brian Heath we as a business supported Dawlish Carnival via sponsorship, we make regular donations to Devon Air Ambulance. We also support the Scouts, all without any thanks from people like you, who shun local business in favor of profiteering multinationals. Suppose you also support using productive farm land to build cheap and nasty little box ...

Broadband in EX7 is pretty erelavent because according to BT the physical line network can only cope with about 2meg speed, so until BT spend a bit of dosh and upgrade their systems you can ignore claims of 8 to 20 meg broadband. Really go for the best price and free calls package. We are with Talk Talk and allthough the customer service is crap, their contracts are only 3-months and Wireless ...

If only the leading so called VFD independents in Dawlish were independent. New Labour in disguise hiding behind a future Conservative mayor with a vow of silence and no comment towards the public.

The "Affordable Housing" tittle seems to have no defined parameters. Last nights agents idea and understanding of what they had to supply was made quite clear. Their percentage of affordable houses whether it be 30% or less, will require the client to obtain a normal mortgage and deposit to cover 75% with the developer retaining the remaining 25% of the agreed sale price. They were adamant that no ...

If it came in a KFC box my lot wouldnt even question it

07.35 . Nope

Sounds great ideal venue for local bands, birthday parties, group meetings, etc. Hope it takes off and gets loads of local support. Good luck and make it happen

Not 100% sure as it seems that from previous posts the local plan meeting was not conducted in a legally binding manner due to no minutes being taken. However I'm sure that among those present including TDC, developers, etc we agreed that in these economic times 30% was not realistic and would prevent any developer committing. It was therefore agreed that 15% would be a more achievable figure. ...

South west water have major problems in Dawlish they just will not address the issues because profit has to come before anything else. Wait untill they have to dig up a large section of Exeter road to replace the collapsing sewer from Lady's mile down towards Sainsburys. That should be fun.

Just a little warning about the new strategy being employed by EDF Energy if you happen to owe them money and you don't have a direct debit or other way they can attempt to rob you. They are now sending two company uniformed, trained monkeys around in a marked van. These really intelligent people stand on your doorstep and demand you to pay them, they are well armed with a mobile credit card ...

VANGUARD The voices seem to have gone deaf again. Come on answer the questions put to you BRAZILNUT wants an answer I Want your answer regarding Mr Clayson and your past connections the Labour Party Speak up PINK BULB man !!!!!!

Sorry to disappoint but its not going to be McDonalds or KFC for Dawlish, have spoken to both directly with pretty much the same response, no company development in areas with a catchment of less than 30,000 customers locally. The only other option is for someone to take on a Burger King or Subway franchise, but this is a very costly exercise and is certainly not bank fundable. This option also is ...

Here Here - should be a day off, we have the least national holidays of all the European countries. So time we added a few extra. We should also make national holidays applicable to all but essential services or pay the old union rate of treble time and a day off in lieu. Thats todays moan over

Just wondering if the helecopter is for filming doggers, what are the 50 grand + BMWs for. Could they be for rapid response to Ann Summers Parties. @ Don- Dont think our present council could manage such a difficult task, Their so called leader cant even answer a simple e-mailed question. Sorry just remembered I promised not to post on here any more

Nelson at it again hasent a clue what he's talking about but just has to disagree with everyone. The forecourt price has nothing to do with the retailer as they will try and keep competative if posible. The price is actually dictated by the supplier as part of the retailers agreement. In the case of MG that will be Texaco. Get your facts right or shut up as others have told you before

HSBC bank are usually pretty clued on up on this sort of thing nearest branch is Teignmouth

At the Exeter Road end of Port Road opp St Mary's cottages is the Dawlish Gardens Trust. I think they are a learning centre for special needs people, but they certainly grow a lot of stuff, not sure if they still sell it locally, but they used to before they moved from Warren rd. The boss is called Ian I think

According to an ad placed prior to Christmas there is a skip in Mannings yard full of large boxes which the owner said people are welcome to take as they wish, this sounded like a long term thing rather than a one off to empty the skip.

Come on then chaps someone must know who the new face is by now Lynne get with it and find out

@Nelson You really must live in a dim blinkered world if you believe in your comments above. Any one who has had experience of this particular builder outside of Dawlish, watches tv shows like cowboy builders etc, and knows quality when they see it, will undoubtably know they build cheap rubbish houses that you cant whip a cat round in with cheap fittings and fixtures (allthough in a colour of ...

This topic seems to have found its way onto Eyes of Dawlish (facebook) very interesting comment regarding the cycle path money being better spent on Youth sport. Totally agree the paths in Dawlish which have already been instigated have very little use, look an absolute disgrace(replacing the grass verges and still we have to put up with the lycra clad half witts wobbling along the main road ...

The development of special clinics are probably to blame for the increasing lack of crabs. lol

Agree with you on this one the FOR pedestrianisation campaign have lost and that ought to be the end of it. There is no ground for compromise. The case for no change is even stronger because the 12,000 + plus residents who as usual couldn't even be bothered to vote obviously dont want anything to change either. Let this be a lesson to Cllr Clatworthy and his fellow highways cronies at DCC pack up ...

I think you may be right the old petrol station and auction house seem to be one and the same lets just see how things go and wish both ventures the best of luck for the new year and for gods sake stop moaning

just read Flo's post, Its on Sandy Lane just up from the football ground and before the leisure centre. From the Warren turning off the main road and heading for town its the second turning on the right

Same from me - happy new year everyone -

Dont forget also that cars are an expensive thing to repair these days so they or their parents if under 18 should also have to pay to repair the damage they have caused. Might make them think twice next time

Rainbow1 = cant even write or speak english so stick your shit in yer hoodie you dickhead
