Well done to all pupils and teachers who have worked hard to achieve these results.

Everyone seems to want Dawlish to stand still ..nobody seems to want any change,. yet wonder why the town is left behind whilst others flourish. .It's your choice!

Smug head, you are the one that started moaning blaming Sainsburys.What a suprise your favourite in the past had the word TEIGNMOUTH in it. Overall i think it was a very good week. The beer tent was missed , especialy the Tribute. Floats may have been down due to the recession. Crowd numbers were way up as were the numbers for the pram race. The pikey clowns were a pain but then they were also ...

Perhaps it went to Libya? Two went through the practice over Dawlish the previous day .

Ive noticed a number of lycra cyclists eating in the cafes on a sunday morning. Not a pretty sight whilst having my fry up but they are spending money.

I noticed a lot of surveying going on around the Exeter Road, Sandy Lane area of late. Spoke to one of the men surveying and he told me Devon County Council are surveying the area ready to install cycle paths leading to Dawlish Community and Gatehouse school.

Ditto - sadly missed

A RED Arrows pilot was hailed a hero yesterday after he steered his stricken jet away from houses moments before the crash that killed him. Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging encountered difficulties as he took part in a daredevil air display with the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, which he joined in April last year. Witnesses told how the 33-year-old bravely wrestled with the controls of his ...

The Vulcan XH558 has developed a fuel leak that is going to preclude it from displaying at the airshow in Dawlish today. The event attracts around 80,000 people to the seaside resort. The Red Arrows are regulars to Dawlish and enjoy the reception received from the crowds, also the amazing location.

Nice one Karateka, good to know that loyalty to the Olde Towne is alive and well. I too spent many hours just walking and appreciating Dawlish for what it was, and it gave me great feeling of contentment. I wonder what your feelings for Dawlish would have been 55 years ago, which was when I was last there? Even better I'd imagine.

Just a query regarding street name change. When was The Cut renamed to Lawn Hill?

Current forecast is for Cloudy weather all day Thursday - however, this information comes from the people who put hurricane and not coming in the same sentence. Kevin Wills who organises the arishow usual starts praying about now for good weather, he has a fairly high success rate!!!! - Enjoy the day - unleass the weather is really bad the Airshow will go on.

It's a pity that all this very useful info can't be collated and reproduced for the benefit of all those who do not come onto this website but who live in, or visit, Dawlish Chamber of Trade can you help? What about you Dawlish Gazette?

Doh!

"The price and availability of books or bananas is not controlled by the government. Land, and indirectly rental prices, are controlled by the government." Mm, up to a point, but it's not quite as straightforward as all that. Besides, dispensing with HB isn't the only, nor the best, means of addressing the (very minimal) extent to which HB levels can influence pervailing rental rates.

Spoil your ballott paper then. Write the name of the party you would like to vote for or write your all useless on it.

lol I dont want no units built cos itll b competition 4 my multi million dolla empire lol!

Its not rocket science guys, a lot of the information I try to pass on via this site is given to me by local people who also use the services of my company in addition to being customers and owners of others. Listening to people who like to talk is all part of what we do. This site is an excellent source for local information with lots of useful stuff posted by Lynne and others and as such is ...

'As I sat musing one day, sad and lonely, A voice came to me from the gloom, Smile, cheer up and be happy, Things could be worse! So I smiled, did cheer up and was happy, And behold things did get worse.'

The 7 year-old has been found. Good news.

Don't worry people are already returning to what they know and love. The one week wonder is slowly becoming a holiday maker luxury. Prices to high, young manager that cant cope, and staff already leaving. After carnival week and the cheap late caravan weeks nobody will want to trek out to Shutterton and hopefully trade and the town will return to normal

any news on whats happening with ground etc

Memoryman - I am so glad that you have received compensation for your inconvenience in inconsistant service provided by orange over the last few months. I have been in regular contact with customer services about the problem and was told to contact them once the issue had been resolved. However, I have recently received a letter from their correspondance team to thank me for contacting them about ...

Thank you all so much for the advice - it's really helpful! I think I might just avoid using my car on the Thursday and Friday of Carnival Week - fortunately, I can work from home so it's no big deal really. Unfortunately, my partner can't do that and as such will have to attempt to use the trains as usual - although it's reassuring to know that extra carriages are added on the air show day! ...

I will be in Dawlish for a day in August. I want to be able to wander around for a few hours but will have a large suitcase with me having checked out of my Torquay hotel in the morning. Can anybody tell me if there are any places in Dawlish where I could pay to store my suitcase for a few hours ? Thanks.

Nothing really to do with this argument but my main worry is how close cyclists are to each other at times. It only takes the one in front to brake suddenly and they'd be all over the road with cars struggling not to hit them. I'm all for cycle paths shared with pedestrians/cyclists. Anyone not walking directly on the road has to be safer. With a bit of respect for each other (and, dare I ...

If you go in a chipshop 20 minutes before it is due to close , and all they offer you is chips because they cant be arsed to cook anything else then im sorry, but if id gone in singing and dancing , it would have made no difference. If a business is to lazy to take your custom then it never deserves it again. In high season Rock and sole has a choice of 8 or 10 different fish, hence the wait at ...

I also went there today, ok I suppose as any supermarket goes, nothing to shout about, swings and rounabouts on prices. Some things in there Coop dont sell simirlarly some things I wanted couldnt get, so I will stick to Coop with an occasional visit to Sainsburys

You need to search for people, and then follow them. Then their tweets will appear on your page. The more people you follow, the more information you will see. For example if you have an interest in economics and financial stories follow Robert Peston. Or is the page just completely blank with no information on it at all? If you use facebook as well, then try tweetdeck which is available on Mac, ...

There's more about all of this in today's Gazette. See front page and page 3.

Good to hear and great for dawlish.

All rural areas in Teignbridge will see their parking charges on Sundays dropped from August 7th until March 31st 2012. Dawlish, Teignmouth and Newton Abbot will be joining the pilot scheme from Sunday October 30th this year.

Sainsbury's will open their new store and petrol station to the public at 9am on Wednesday August 3rd at 9am. The new store which is just off the Exeter Road in Dawlish is slightly smaller than its Newton Abbot store and will employ 220 people.

I'm probably alone on this.. but I think in this internet age we should be able to see the event times planned on the web ..I'm sure people away from Dawlish would want to know the info and I cant see them buying a prog in advance as they suggest. Think the committee should drop the old 'buy the prog' idea and have hand out free leaflets and display posters all over the town giving people the info ...

Why not try the Railway Inn just up from the Exeter on the opposite side. They do really good home cooked food at a very reasonable price. Two courses for £4.50 during the week. Family friendly also.
