BOO HOO's Posts

Broke a tooth over the weekend and in a certain amount of discomfort. Called the NHS 111 and they could get me an appointment for tomorrow but it would be Kingsbridge, South Hams for later today. As I do not have a vehicle of my own it would be a nightmare to get to so I have had to pay to get the tooth taken out locally. Now on the other hand if I were a chap from France who entered the UK ...

When I am driving past the Dawlish college the only people causing a danger are all the idiots running across the road from the Dawlish College.

Speaker of the House is the government, that's why. It is all a pantomime with puppet m.p's who do as instructed by the whips, who are instructed by the party leaders, who are instructed by the civil service, who are instructed by their overlords.

@1263 - This is what you get when liberal democrats get in a position of power, reality goes out the window and in comes fantasy land and the mad hatter and crew take over. A bit akin to giving your children the responsibility of the home finances/ family credit cards and wondering why everything turns into an absolute mess, in my opinion.

Three youths zip around Dawlish on these Surron style bikes all the time.

Dawlish Manor Gardens Play Park was the site of a significant arson attack in July 2023 , shortly after its official opening. The incident occurred in the early hours of 14 July at Barton Hill car park, where four vehicles belonging to Dawlish Community Transport were destroyed in a deliberate fire. One of the vehicles was a bespoke-designed minibus with 5,000 miles on the clock. The charity ...

What get's me is the ridiculous cost of rail tickets vs the crap service you get for it. 21st century and still an archaic train system running on steel tracks.

Most probably angling on a tax payers funded jolly out to Kyiv, in my opinion.

I expect some of the government minister's have their country homes down the line.

Teignbridge District Council (TDC) , led by the Liberal Democrats, has faced significant scrutiny over systemic failings, particularly highlighted by a 2023 report from the Local Government Ombudsman (LGO) . The report found seven serious faults in TDC’s handling of a standards complaint against councillors from the South Devon Alliance (SDA), including breaches of the law, internal rules, and the ...

Hopefully the money will go towards saving more of those poor migrants trying to escape the ravages of Europe and especially war torn France and get to our shores so they may be adorned with as many gifts as the British Government can muster from the tax payer's kitty, Bravo.

Doubt it will be missed considering most cyclists do not even use it anyway, total waste of money.

How about spending the money on things that would make living here better for all. All the council seems todo is follow in the footsteps of central government and spend it on their own pet projects and waste the rest, in my opinion. Dawlish has gone from being a very nice seaside town to a complete sh@thole over the past 20 years and it continues to slide further down with the assistance of the ...

UK Government’s actions increasingly seen as serving elite interests over public good , with multiple reports indicating systemic failures in governance, accountability, and democratic integrity. Trust in government at record lows , according to the National Centre for Social Research, as public confidence in the political system has plummeted due to perceived disconnect between leaders and ...

Glorious Sun Rise this morning from Dawlish. Shame the rest of the town looks like a bomb site.

@1263 - Well said. https://www.torbayandsouthdevon.nhs.uk/uploads/annual-report-and-accounts-2023-2024.pdf

Just a walk along the beach between Dawlish and the Warren will show you how poorly maintained the sea wall is, which must be a reflection of many area's of sea wall that are there to protect the line from damage.

So the cost to do work on the Manor House would be described as HUGE I presume if £5k is large.

Well it looks like the cctv installed through the Town as a deterrent is working like a charm then, yes I am being cynical. CCTV in Dawlish Town Centre was primarily installed to enhance public safety and support local security efforts. The system aims to deter crime , monitor high-traffic areas , and assist law enforcement in responding to incidents. As part of broader town centre security ...

The primary beneficiaries of delaying local elections appear to be existing political incumbents , particularly Labour and Conservative councillors in areas where elections are postponed, as they avoid facing voters during a period of low party popularity. According to analysis, Labour and the Conservatives are expected to suffer losses in local elections due to declining support since their ...

Well that is all fine and dandy for those who are mobile. Call me paranoid but is the Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust    trying to close it down like they did  back in 2023!!!!!!!!!!

This town just goes from bad to worse as the years roll on, in my opinion.

MERRY XMAS TO YOU TO WEBMASTER.

Teignbridge District Council has provided financial support to developers for link road projects through mechanisms such as underwriting contributions and securing funding agreements. For the Dawlish urban extension, the council secured £4.9 million in government grants and £1.3 million from developers to fund a £6.2 million project, including a new link road and Sweet Violets Bridge, which ...

'Entertainment will still proceed in shops' what does that actually mean!

Is this the same man? or just some one else with the same name as the age does not seem to be the same. Connor Sidell, a man with a history of criminal activity, was involved in a significant incident in Dawlish in April 2023 . He was caught during a burglary at a house in Regent Street after tripping on the stairs, which alerted the homeowner who initially thought he was her son returning from a ...

Dawlish has been in a state of chaos for nearly a decade now and the council does not help with the utter downward spiral it has been sent in, in my opinion.

@burnside I would have thought it would be the food rather than the camera but that is just my opinion.

Police crack down, what a joke. Just seen three thugs all hooded and masked up on SUR RON's or similar shoot passed me in Dawlish must have been doing at least 30mph. Cops round here are an absolute joke. If you do see one they are in their vehicle windows up shooting past.

Most probably the same two who are frequently seen on there black e-bikes with all their black gangsta clothing and handbag strapped across their chest. When they are caught, ha ha yeah most probably not with the Keystone cops we have round here, but if they were. Get some wooden stocks put on the tiny section of The Lawn that is left and place these two little thugs in them and allow people to ...

The cons will say anything to keep what voters they have. If people do not realise by now that most politicians lie the same way the rest of us breath. The only items on their agenda when voted in is to tow the party line and keep their gravy train going and a few weeks before a general election they start spouting lies to either get in or stay in, in my opinion. Problem is the herds of sheeple ...

I assume the supposed illegal  E-Bike clampdown the police said they had started has now been extended to make out they are doing more than they actually are. If the e-bike is not road legal I expect the little toe rags will just accelerate away from the police and get away ha ha ha

Always tax increases whilst the councils do less and less while making sure they have more and more, in my opinion.

Mine went down last few years due to a change in how I use the water I have paid for, why pay these greedy water companies twice. Remember - to save money do not waste the water you use for bathing or doing the dishes just by throwing it down the drain. It is quite clear to see that your sewage bill is the main culprit. Need I say anymore as to how you can save on you water bill!

An existing oak tree, but it is okay to lay waste to acres of agricultural grade land for multiple large housing estates!

What Brook, it should be renamed The Trickle, how about actually doing something of worth and dredging The Brook and maintaining it correctly instead of metaphorically gold plating a rusted out old car.

@1263 , very succinctly put, mate. I could not have put it better myself. I feel these days the police are all about ticking political and woke spreadsheet tasks of their monthly todo list's. Rather than being guardians of the peace whose position is to:- "I (Name), of (Address), do solemnly and sincerely declare and affirm that I will well and truly serve the King in the office of constable, with ...

Inspiring an evening of peace and community and a punch up down the Lansdowne later to finish off the evening ha ha ha

Well, other than the Carnival event they must have visited a different Dawlish to the crapper I live in. 20 years ago it was a beautiful and well maintained and cherished Town but over the last 2 decades the councils have run it into the ground whilst continually increasing the rates, in my opinion
