Police have issued an urgent appeal for help in tracing a man who may have information about alleged incidents of deception thefts. South Devon detectives want to speak to a man after two pensioners fell victim to a doorstep conman. Police are probing two incidents where a man convinced elderly people to part with their money and bank cards after spinning a story about not having any money and ...

I have a small group of starlings which gather in a bush in my garden. The only thing which seems to have done them harm is a sparrowhawk which has taken about 2 or 3 over the past few months.

Five Exmouth Harriers took part in the Dawlish Coasters’ organised ‘Oh my obelisk!’ race, writes Dev Eveleigh. The event follows a tough, hilly and off-road 11 mile course that takes runners up out of Dawlish to the obelisk that can usually be picked out at the left hand end of Haldon Forest when viewed from the Wast. Relatively dry conditions made for some very fast times, winner, Michael Ronison ...

Colaton Raleigh were edged out by the odd goal in five at Dawlish United In a game dominated by the windy conditions, Raleigh trailed 3-0 at half-time. It was a very different story after the break with Raleigh having the benefit of the elements. Goals from Adrian Parr and Jake Boyland set them up for a grandstand finish. With five minutes to play a Tony Cox cross was dummied by player boss Riki ...

The only thing I can think of is a change in circumstances during the council tax period? They should have really indicated why they were adjusting the amount payable. Give them a call, they are usually quite helpful.

if you ban me please ban nelson and you will all get some peace .

Have used O2 here for at least the last 5 years with no problem at all. Perhaps a change of provider might help. O2's coverage in general is a lot better.

done it too hope they listen to us for once

This is really bad news! I'm very sorry to see them go. :-(

Thanks for the replies on this everyone, all sorted now, Neil has very kindly given us some very suitable boxes which are a great help, so many thanks

Dawlish Community College is delighted to announce that in an inspection by OfSTED shortly before Christmas the College achieved a “Good” grading. The College was inspected in the two areas of Student Achievement and the College’s capacity to continue the recent significant improvements that we have made. The College is proud to report that we achieved a “Good” grading in both categories. The ...

A dog owner was rescued by a passer-by after jumping into the sea to save his pet. The man leapt into the sea at Dawlish, Devon, at about 12:30 GMT to save his springer spaniel. But he was soon struggling in the rough water and was pulled out by a passer-by who had thrown him a life ring. The dog was recovered but was pronounced dead at the scene and the dog's owner was unhurt said Brixham ...

After watching the news recently regarding the dodgy dentist (!) I realised that he had also been responsible for endeavouring to raffle off his house - the house was never raffled as apparently he did not sell enough tickets. If memory serves me correctly a random raffle ticket was picked and the winner got a cut of the money that had been collected!!!!!!!! This obviously looks like another scam ...

I think he is one of the people they dont want in their Ltd Company

A fake dentist who conned elderly patients into paying up to £1,400 for wonky sets of false teeth has been condemned as a charlatan by a judge. Stephen Sickelmore, 52, posed as a qualified professional when he visited patients all over Devon and Cornwall and took impressions of their mouths. But the only impression he left was a bad one as he conned £200,000 out of unsuspecting clients - money ...

You're quire right Lynne, that's why I made the comment, these anti-Builder, anti-Council, anti-Sainsburys etc rants have nothing to do with the price of eggs, oops, sorry, now we'll have people complaining about the price of eggs since Sainsburys moved to Dawlish.

just had a realy good meal at the exeter inn. carvery £1.95. yes you read it right £1.95. thursday lunch-time only. so a pint and a good feed for £5.00 cant be bad. keep up the good work clive and all the staff.

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 ...

Park Road next to pet shop

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

It wasn't a vote or a referendum. I'm really pleased that as many responded positively as did those who were against the proposal. I'd have expected those against to have been far greater in number due to human nature (as seen elsewhere in the country where vocal minorities rise up against changes). It's as perverse for MugOnHead to say that only 180 are for this scheme, as it is to say that only ...

The views of local people count for a great deal but both Teignmouth and Dawlish are tourist towns. The opinions of people who have visited are also important, whether positive or negative, and should not simply be dismissed because we don't like what they are saying.

Force and Sons were worthy winners methinks! There might be something in the Gazette tomorrow.

Upottery slipped to a 3-0 defeat at Division Three leaders Dawlish United. Villagers boss Dan Prettejohn was clear as to why his side had produced a below–par performance. He said: “It was out first game since late November and that’s almost like starting the season again after such along lay-off! The players gave their all, but collectively it wasn’t good enough to get the better of a useful side ...

If you look at the pile of crap that is left from the last auction at The Arms , you'll realise its just a dumping ground instead of going to the tip.

Didnt realse United were on the main pitch, ill have to take a look.

have to agree with you both. whilst others were closed over the festive and new year period they were heaving due to the number of tourists and families visiting relatives . I guess they took more money over the week than most places would take in a month in january and feb

Ooops sorry thought direct link would be produced with the need for http etc. http://www.tallyrand.info or http://www.hub-uk.com

Do you have any particular interests? If you let us know that might help us give you some leads. Are you looking for paid work or voluntary work or both?

One of the widest reaching consultations in Teignbridge District Council history reaches its next stage this week as the council seeks public views on the latest version of its 20 year plan for the area. The existing plan is now 15 years old and needs urgent updating if local communities are to avoid ‘planning by appeal’. Known as the ‘Preferred Options Core Strategy’, the draft plan shows where ...

A watchdog committee set up by Teignbridge Council has recommended that the Leisure Centre at Sandy Lane could benefit from a rethink about how its internal spaces are used. Cllr Alan Connett said "There is an opportunity to improve and encourage more users to the centre" If it gets the go ahead a gym could be in place within the next six months.
