Correct! Now why do others think differently?

As far as I can find out DTC are the only council that do this, it is legal but I think it is morally wrong. You can get the minutes of meetings and agendas from the Town Hall and also the minutes from either the library or on line, Put into you browser Dawlish Town Council,on the left of the page click Town Council then scroll down to Minutes & Agendas click and there you are. Try any Town ...

I have noticed on many occasion especially with some writers to this forum, how they imagine what is happening, instead of expanding their brain cells and open them up to reality. I will give an example of how some tarnish the motorist as speeders, when in reality most are not. Dunchideock, a nice little village just below the Haldon Hill. People complained that the speed of traffic in and ...

Didn't know you had any friends :)-

What's to expose? He's been found guilty and will be punished. And so he bloody well should be. Shirley his prosecution demonstrates that the "system" is not untouchable? Thanks for sharing the good news with us. :-)

Ethical.....now there's a word you wouldn't associate with Dawlish Town Councillors. If only some of them had the courage to own up to their malfeasance and fall on their professional swords, what a better place it would be.

Lib Dems who hold the majority on Dawlish Town Council are up to their tricks nationally. If I broke the law, I would get hammered - Lib dems get a warning. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7635799.stm

JD U SAY: " For everyone's benefit, including your own, can you try again but without the abuse please? Many thanks." I am not in the habit of repeating my self. A judge once said to a policeman who tried to charge a man who swore at him, " if you cannot accept abuse and bad language, then you have no right to be in the job, case dismissed". He only told him to flock off! and that is what you ...

Early this morning I noticed a water leak at the bottom of Ashley Way and thought what a waste of water. At about lunch time I was told it had turned into a major burst. People living in the vicinity were frantically trying to keep the water from flooding their homes. The residents were angry and told me they had phoned S.W water only to be told they would be out tomorrow(but later changed their ...

To answer your questions in turn: 1. Yes. 2. No. 2. No.

A COMMUNITY association has been given £25,000 to help young people struggling with spiralling debt. Teignmouth Community Association has been given the sum by high street bank Barclays to help people understand more about financial management. The cash boost is a welcome lift in a week which has seen major banks go bust and others hatch rescue plans amid a gloomy economic outlook. The money ...

Can you trust a man who 'feigns' the promotion of youth when he runs his business on disposable, non-contract, young people? Can't see much investment in Dawlish youth there.

Further to Joey's reply, there are also two duplicate bridge clubs in Teignmouth and one in Shaldon. Teignmouth Bridge Club meet on Friday afternoons 2pm at the Alice Cross centre. They provide a host, which means that you can go along without a partner. The second Teignmouth club meets at Richard Newton Hall at 6.45pm on Mondays. Shaldon also meet at 6.45 on Mondays and meet at the hall ...

DAWLISH youngsters could have access to a state-of-the-art youth centre costing around £750,000 if new plans are given the go-ahead. Dawlish Action for Youth want to build the 'Rolls Royce' of youth centres, including class rooms and training areas, at Sandy Lane. Plans submitted to Teignbridge Council and recommended for approval, incorporate a facility for vocational learning. Planning ...

Did you see the Lib Dem Political broadcast on TV 17th Sept? I cannot believe they used actors as people they interviewed on their opinions on the country. That seems wrong to me, why not find 'real' people?

A FLORISTRY academy has raised £670 for charity through flower arranging demonstrations. The newly-founded Academy of Floristry Art, which offers flower arranging and floristry courses throughout the South West, raised funds for four charities — Macmillan Cancer Support, NSPCC, Rowcroft Hospice and Hospice Care Exeter. The money was raised through three large flower demonstrations held at ...

A JUDGE has ordered a top level investigation into why the case of an arsonist who was later caught with a knife and made serious sex threats against women was given a lenient sentence by magistrates. At Exeter Crown Court Judge Stephen Wildblood QC heard that Devon fire raiser Martin Cooper had been roaming the streets despite the fact that he could pose a serious danger to the public and was ...

Could someone give me the web site for the propposed plans for the Dawlish Youth Centre. From what I have read there is going to be a youth centre and a new community centre and perhapes that is where the confusion is regarding a bar and disco. As for a drug/alcohol abuse centre I think this would be a good idea giving the amouont of drug users and alcoholics in the town. My children although ...

This web site can be viewed by anyone from anywhere in the world. Nice to know that I have friends in USA, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa who read it on a regular basis. They thought that the way Dawlish Town Council treat those that voted them into office were more in keeping with Zimbabwi, China, North Korea, etc, and not by the so called democracy that we supposed to have here.

There are currently signs along Dawlish seafront warning swimmers not to enter the sea from Dawlish to Coryton because of sewage contamination. The signs seem to have been amended from reading 'from Dawlish Warren to Coryton'. Does anyone know any more about this?

Foodies were pitted against celebrity chefs in a kitchen cook-off for a cash prize. Bethan Donnovan, 26, from Dawlish, and team-mates Cherif and Lucy Elzik from Exeter, cooked up an Egyptian-style storm in a BBC2 programme Step Up to The Plate. The programme, on BBC2 at 4.30pm today, sees the South Devon food lovers test their culinary skills to the limit as they compete against celebrity ...

0845 no's cost 2p per minute from a BT line.

Devon General was government owned in the 1970's. News to me! no matter, I am talking about what went on before that date. Devon General had been providing a longer distance, county wide service since 1919. In 1947 Exeter Corporation agreed with Devon General to jointly operate some routes within a ten mile radius of the city to prevent unnecessary duplication. (that was when the amalgamation ...

With the money spent on the useless CCTV system we now have, we could have bought a 30 acre field with the same money, (three times the size of Sandy Lane playing fields.) Now that would be of considerable benefit to all in Dawlish for many, many, many different activities. What have we now? A field where activities are being packed in like sardines in a tin. And who do you think should be ...

Some of us have been trying to warn others of the dangers of accepting things at face value. Others have been trying to rubbish the warnings, for reasons best known to themselves. I would like to inform Don, That once upon a time, agenda's of the meetings held for Dawlish Town Council, where placed on the web site in their entirety and once upon a time members of the public could address THE ...

THE final phase of a scheme to prevent another devastating flood at a Dawlish Warren residential park has been given the go-ahead. Eight years ago, about 100 people had to be rescued by RAF helicopters and coastguards using inflatables, from Hazeldown Park, now Beechwood Residential Park, after the Shutterton Brook burst its banks. The water rose up to six feet and it was a major emergency with ...

To all you lubbly drinkers out there, run along to the mount, I have heard he is fallin on ard times, and now that the charity coffers are on de wain theys be lookin for others vays of muckin a livin.

Could not agree with you more Lord Flasheart. I have been trying to give good advice for years and most of it if not all of it has turned out to be the correct advice. Trouble is, people tend to believe some twat in a stripped suit and not some beer swigging bloke in a pair of grubby overalls. Drug takers, alchofolics, singers and comediens have a lot to say about what is going wrong in ...

THREE people were taken to hospital yesterday after being involved in a head-on collision at Kenton. The driver and passenger in a Toyota MR2 and the driver of a BMW suffered suspected broken bones in the incident on the A379. Ambulance staff treated the people at the scene just after 4.30pm, before they were taken to Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. Their injuries were not thought to be ...

Viaduct, Perhaps he's been shot by a Civil Enforcement Officer who thought he might being going to park illegally, Don (Frivolous Sunday afternoon version)

BRILLIANT YOU HAVE JUST PROVED MY POINT.

How can the truth claim he loves Dawlish when ignoring this important subject? We own him......

Look, to be honest with you Dullish / Roy / User 4549 / Lord Flashheart, I think that it's great news that my friends on the council, the Rotary Club and the Round Table have all made a fortune out of the deal to build this here youth centre. In fact Dullish / Roy / User 4549 / Lord Flashheart, the drinks from the bar in the corner of the first floor of the youth centre are on me. What's your ...

Thank you for that Joey. This is a genuine enquiry.

What has happened to the Computor shop at Piermont Place? I see there is plenty of mail on the floor.

There is a bed and breakfast place at Dawlish Warren called REDROCK. It is full of sh1t and you get charged the earth. Macdonalds food bar, and ken tuckers chickenleg dishes are better, even the Warren chippy can knock spots off their grub. But put a bit of shine on the place and foreigners think it is the bizz. I heard it is about £800 a week high treason, sorry season.

I think he's using me to avoid your questions User 4549. Dullish By the way Truth......do you find that people patronise you? That means talking down to you..........

Could someone please tell me what estate agents are telling their customers now? Whether buyers or sellers.

ATROCITIES of the Second World War were brought vividly to life for a group of South Devon veterans and their families during an emotional trip to Normandy this week. The Normandy Veterans' Association is on the French coast to mark 64 years since D-Day, and their visit to the Caen Memorial Museum turned out to be too much for some. While many of the veterans, proudly wearing medals on their ...
