J Warrener: Good point! I see the Green who stood in Dawlish in 2009, won a town council seat last year....and gave it up the next day! http://www.peoplesrepublicofsouthdevon.co.uk/2010/02/08/totnes-by-election-blues-for-the-greens/ Saving paper, but wasting council-tax payers money!

Seagulls are a problem everywhere. I was sat on the perimeter wall around Exeter Cathedral on Good Friday when a seagull swooped and snatched food out of the hand of a lady sat next to me. Shit happens, it won't stop me from sitting there again! Seagulls have always been a pain - it's not a recent phenomenon! :-)

The Exeter Inn in Beach Street, Dawlish has reopened

Agree with your point Steve, with insurance companies kicking up such a fuss about properties in flood risk areas, how can any planning authority, builder or house buyer ever consider a property in an area like Dawlish Warren. It should not be allowed and flooding is only one reason. For years the area has been earmarked as holiday accommodation only with huge restrictions on the number of ...

16 new affordable homes at the Sandpipers devolopment in Dawlish Warren has been acquired by Cornerstone. It's the second devolopment for Cornerstone in Dawlish. The homes will be rented out to people with local connection to Dawlish and the shared ownership houses are restricted to people living or working in Teignbridge. Contact Cornerstone direct to find out more about available properties on ...

You know what, You may have the "mindset" right.. I reported an untethered staffie, which was allowed to threaten a black swan, recently, at 2.50 p.m. I went to great lengths to point out the current location of the person, but SHE... went in a different direction. What is the "Handover time" for the police??? Not Happy.

Only two cygnets have been born and 12 eggs have disappeared. Staff at the Dawish town's aviary say they have never known a year like it and believe seagulls are to blame. Dawlish waterfowl warden Derek Porter said if the swans leave their nest the seagulls are there straight away, the eggs are fairly big but the gulls manage to take them and damage them. The blach swans have been a major tourist ...

The pensioners who get off the coaches wont have far to walk then, to get thier oldern day sweet fix. Better a sweet shop than an empty eye sore. At least these type of shops have the majority of its stock made in Britain, unlike supermarkets and newsagents , where most of its stock, especially chocolate, is now manufactured abroad.

Smokey you are right about these prefabs still being around. I have seen them on Rightmove in parts of England. I think Wiltshire but can't be sure off hand. The problem is not the cost of building houses but the cost of land marked for residential purposes. This is completely under the control of government along with the bank of England base rate. Having bailed out the banks, which effectively ...

New page now Andy BIG Nose of Dawlish

Just read a very interesting story on South West Business at the following link http://www.southwestbusiness.co.uk/homepagetest/action-curb-superstores/article-3432356-detail/article.html Its seems rather two faced that the NFU want to support their members regarding price but wont support any campaigns to stop supermarket construction

A 53 year-old youth leader from Kingskerswell has been arrested and released on police bail in connection with allegation of sexual abuse. Mike Stevens was arrested following an allegation of indecently assulting a boy under the age of 16. Mr Stevens championed the Red Rock youth and skills centre at Sandy Lane, Dawlish and is involved with community and youth organisations in Newton Abbot, ...

thought the range of flowers and plants was poor for mothers day. the display didnt look good either. think the shop could do with a change of personnal. i like steve as he's loyal to the job but looking at the shop it looks like it could do with a change.

Jason Jerome who lives in Dawlish with his girlfriend and her two children admitted arson at Exeter crown court and was given a two-year community order. Jerome became suicidal after given up his job as a fireman to become a house husband. His girlfriend restrained him after he doused himself in lighter fluid and was about to set it alight.

So much for transparency. Same old, same old I'm afraid. Good luck with the campaign though.

Good morning folks. Thanks for the replies. Appreciated. I'll be back....some good discussions going on here. C

As I said, why not make your experience public via the press? I appreciate you might not want to 'go public' but that sounds just like the type of story they might be interested in and you never know, it might result in some reaction from those you mention above. I just feel that if people don't make a public fuss about what is going on/ what their situation is then the powers that be just ...

This is from today's Herald Express New owners at soft play centre A PURPOSE-built soft play centre with a 40-seat café in Dawlish has been sold for £59,950 to new owners Jonathan and Kathy Baldwin from Enfield in Middlesex. The Monkey House is an 'interesting' business in the heart of the town next to The Lawn park and stream which cascades through Dawlish over a series of waterfalls before ...

lol I used to own a few Lambrettas in the 70's. TV175 and SX200. You going to the Paignton bike festival then?

no to tesco then

and there was I thinking that the reason Tesco's are Appealing against TDC is because they haven't got planning permission to build! If that claim were to be true I'm sure the Planning Inspectorate would be very interested to know about it.

Rowcroft are going into the disused part of Bow Windows !!!!!!!

Hi - can you get me a new lamp for my LG rear projection TV. They cost a bomb you know, but the Libyian rebels have none either

Two days ago, Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Education, announced details about the new scheme which is to replace the EMA. Have a read of this link. http://blogs.channel4.com/factcheck/factcheck-bad-marks-for-gove-on-ema/6089

@FRONTERAMAN , Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, I can't see it happening. Don

A lot of parents are concerned about their young children drinking alcohol and seem to think that some children going to the Red Rock Youth Centre are in some way to blame. I don't think anyone would get pass the entrance if they had alcohol on them but once they leave who knows! I can't understand why on a Friday 11-14 year-olds have to signed out but on a Saturday 11-18 year-olds can leave when ...

I probably misheard then. There has been talk about it on here and I was wondering if anything had been earmarked as part of the planning. Not interested in buying myself. I am interested in schemes that are in place to waste or abuse tax payers money. For example, the First Time Buyers scheme is a complete abuse of tax payers money in that the sole purpose is to try to prop up a deflating and ...

Ask Prowse or Wills if they sold them like they did a couple of years ago

Unless these sites submit planning consent to operate as a for profit business and not just a civic amenity they will probably be acting illegally if they do try to charge you. Will have to check this one out

What a shame Co-op has taken so long to submit their planning application. I think if they had got a move on it might have helped save some other shops. I visited Co-op on many occasion only to find they didn't have what i needed so i popped over to Teignmouth Co-op and was able to get what i was looking for so i ended up shopping for my other bits in Teignmouth.

A 18-year-old student studying Law stole a book valued at £230. Philip Smith lives with his grandmother in Dawlish and works as a barman at the Langstone Cliff Hotel, Dawlish Warren. He had previously been reprimanded for burglary and theft after going to a former school and taking money from a communal lounge, he was then suspended and moved to Dawlish to live with his grandmother. Smith had ...

After reading a letter in this weeks Dawlish Gazette i agree with Fronteraman. I can't believe he didn't get the support he deserved from the carnival comittee.

Although I get it, I do still work, I think it would be better off means testing it as there are a lot of people well off that dont need it. Sir Alan Sugar gives his to charity. How many more are like him?

For more info re the new system have a read of this interesting article http://www.lrb.co.uk/v33/n01/christopher-prendergast/short-cuts

Good news for all you supporters of Sainsbury's just heard that due to the good weather they are hoping to open a month early. Shame DCC highways wont have the road finished by then thus preventing them opening as their planning consent requires the roads to be finished prior to opening. Come on Tesco get a move on, we need the competition and an alternative shopping option. Anyone fancy a walk to ...
