Well said Ziggy. Congrats to all concerned and thank you.

zero tolerance on littering and fines; works a treat. More bins and more unemployed sweeping the streets.

Loss of 100 odd car parking spaces on Strand is the prolem if you close it off. We're short of parking already. Yes, build a LARGE multi story on railway carpark (get Sainsbury to pay. Where would loading bays go for the constant deliveries that occur every day? -Make pavement 3x as wide -Parking on lawn side only+ at an angle -Get rid of one set of traffic lights - at bu stop -Make parking on ...

i will have you know im boot strap bill...the one and only!

You what....the Bishop of Dawlish and Starcross has been busted for class A. WOW this makes the men of cloth worth a visit on a Sunday....I've never met a real dealer!!

Over 100 revellers attended an all-night party last Saturday at Easton Plantation off Orchard Lane Dawlish. Police were called to break up the party after complaints of noise that could be heard by people living in Dawlish Warren and Starcross. Police returned yesterday and found 13 men linked to the party still there. They were detained under a section of the misused Drugs act and searched. A ...

easy mistake

He doesnt realise he is going to get old one day.. that is IF todays youngens last that long..cant imagine what sort of old bids they will be with their attitudes.

Dawlish Coaches go into liquidation with a loss of 37 jobs. Paignton-based Majestic Tours have transferred all bookings with Dawlish Coaches to other firms. The directors "reluctantly decided that they had no alternative but to put the company into voluntory liquidation"

Well this year i am intending to try some of the local ales, so any recommendations would be welcome lol Thanks for all your replies, it seems the best of Dawlish is still there, so im happy!

Many Brits are shunning holidays abroad this summer and choosing to stay at ' home ' because of tour operator problems, flight upsets and the Eur ozone's dept crisis. The Dawlish Warren Tourism Group is predicting ' a great month for the area ' Events like the airshow, fireworks and the carnival add help to the value to the " Tourism Pound "

Thanks for that. We had better make the most of this years show then. I hope that I will be awake to see it. Dont get back from Frankfurt till near midnight on Wednesday.

The original message is just a form of SPAM for the website in his "signature" at the bottom of the message. Ignore him and don't click on the link would be my advice.

When I read that the street lights were to be switched off at night I thought it was to conserve energy !! No - now they are on during the day instead !! Whats going on ??

I was just saying IF they decided to closedown people would soon kick up and moan because people may favour Teignmouth for some penny machines, all seasides have them.

"Speaking on behalf of developers Barratt Homes, Gareth Kendall said: "We are committed to providing a scheme which we feel fits the local area and the community and will provide much-needed housing."" Should that not read "We are committed to providing a scheme which makes as much money as possible for our company"? These big companies all give the same impression that they do these things for ...

Please keep UKIP off these boards.

1 The new centre is being equipped and got ready for September use. 2 The centre will be 'opened' officially on September 10th 3 The building will be open to the Public on September 11th, Saturday, when you can satisfy your curiosity, use your imagination and suggest how you'd like to see it contribute to life in Dawlish. I think eyes will boggle and faces outside the town will turn green with ...

I've only ever had one pint at Lee's Bar and to be fair it was decent enough, however it's not really my kind of pub. I agree with JW that the Welcome Inn has come on leaps and bounds in the last 12 months, though I still prefer a stroll to Cockwood if we go out for a drink. Or over to Turf Lock or Topsham if Mrs Dawlish Man is driving!! :)

Not the first time a train driver has forgotten to stop at a local station, my lad was stranded at Torre a few weeks ago after the driver fogotten to stop there. How do big organisations like rail services keep getting away with things like this.

According to their (brainwave) website, they are moving to Richmond Place, and Stewarts is the only property for them there, unless I am mistaken

BRYAN THE MOLE MAN,TRADITIONAL MOLE CONTROL. I WORK IN SOUTH DEVON, ON CALL 7 DAY's A WEEK. PLEASE EMAIL BRYIN.DAWLISH@HOTMAIL.CO.UK

Last year my husband and myself visited Dawlish in June and September. We were really lucky with the weather so decided to book again this year for the same weeks. We managed to blag June again let's hope September will be the same. Enjoy your holiday.

Cheaper than the Starcross ferry I'm told.

I came here 20years ago on holliday and stayed its a great place enjoy your stay and i hope you will return year after year

A group of local youths around five or six in number have been using the sand dunes at Dawlish Warren as drinking dens and vandalising the area by ripping up wooden fencing installed to protect the local nature reserve and using it to fuel their fires. Visitors including children have had their feet cut by broken glass bottles or burnt by fires which have not been extinguished properly. Text books ...

You may not be on his distribution list for progress reports, DM. An oversight presumably.

An application for 61 homes is to be considered by the authority's development control committee at a meeting next Monday. Barratt Homes want to build up to 61 " Beach Hut "-inspired contemporary new homes. The land earmarked for the new development is just off Dawlish Warren Road and Shutterton Lane. Out of the 61 homes 43 two, three, four and five-bed, will be in the "market housing" bracket, 18 ...

The ostrich meat been sold as LOCAL from Poole in Dorset, by the butcher in the strand Dawlish is NOT LOCAL. It's inported from South Africa by a meat wholesaler (DB Foods)in Poole.

I agree with you. (please guys, don't accuse me of being DM) Threads do evolve naturally and that is a different process from hijacking. I can imagine a ferryman having to do a three year course to get a certificate of ferrymanship even if he's been on the sea or river all his life. Don

I found a pair of prescription glasses with silver coloured frames on the Lawn, Dawlish this evening (Monday 28th June) at around 9.45 p.m. If they belong to you or someone you know, I'll be taking them in to the Police Shop opposite the Lawn tomorrow morning.

Ok, who's first? I've not dished abuse, but others (4549) have- where do we start?

HERE YOU GO AGAIN! FELLOVER!?? ABUSE FOR NO REASON! IT'S NOW DOCUMENTED!

Hi Guys Great to see that the Spirit of the Exe festival is still going ahead. We'll be holidaying in Dawlish from the 3rd to 17th July and if anyone sees us at the festival then say hello. I've posted a recent photo of our 8 month old grandson in the Photos/Holidays section. Would also like to see a sand sculpture competition as Mark suggested. Last years competition with Rory McGrath and Paddy ...

Very good point well explained

Have to agree June or July would have been a better time. A chance to bring in more people whilst the area is quieter. Maybe a one day event to start off with would be better, and then expanded over the future years if it was a success.

The Horse Show was held last Sunday 20th at Black Forest Farm and was a HUGE success, and for those of you who didnt attend, you missed a great day out in the lovely warm sunshine. Many thanks for those who attended as spectators and especially for those who participated in the show. We really enjoyed looking at the high standard of riding.

they prefer knitting

Im looking for snatch lol

Can you believe it.. lovely day like today and not a boat in sight..would be a lovely trip to Exmouth from Dawlish not Starcross!
