A trainee manager employed by Tesco has been exposed as a convicted paedophile. At the time of his offences, Daniel Luckman lived at Newlands in Dawlish, he had served a 15 month jail sentence for child porn offences after being convicted in 2003 and also he had been placed on the sex offenders' register, but Luckman failed to tell his bosses when he was taken on by Tesco Metro stores in Paignton. ...

Does anyone know of anyone in Dawlish who does cat sitting in their own home for other peoples cats?

I believe there is a small sewarage works in the woods by the path that leads from Starcross up to the carpark by the shop at Powderham Castle. That's what I mean by being away from human habitation. Also, I believe the sewarage works on Warren Road was built after the campsites were there. I tried walking along that part of Warren Road again today - minging is not the word. I couldn't do it and ...

Don't know if this forums got anything to do with it but unleaded and derv have gone down by 1p. Keep up the gossip!!!!!!!!!!!

I have worked all over the country from Monday to Friday and allways loved coming HOME to my roots in DAWLISH at weekends.

i think the bandstand should stay as it is, its perfect as a football goal. as long as it gets a paint job before summer each year when you guys need it. (and maybe a urinal fitted inside also)

An elderly Dawlish antiques dealer who acted as "a fence" for stolen jewellery was caught on a covert video selling items to an undercover policeman.Kenneth Paterson, 70, was twice recorded selling jewellery to an undercover officer known only as John, said Malcolm Galloway, prosecuting at Exeter Crown Court. Police caught Galloway as part of Operation Moonstone which had centred on the activities ...

As a pensioner can say I have never been so well off, have no private pension but am doing okay dont have to pay council tax £200 heating allownace and free bus pass. I have my own home which is paid for if I was renting wouldnt have to pay rent. The trouble with us older folk we think the world owes us something and a lot of my peers seem to have a real downer on the youth. I went to work at 15 ...

Do I hear sour grapes from guba guba? And yes you're right but its a big back garden. Dawlish Town train in the same gardens as United do

That is why she has small feet to stand nearer the cooker, sink, ironing board etc

Where did you go, is it really better

What about camping on Dartmoor? Should be ok as the weather starts to warm up. I know of a nice campsite near Buckland in the Moor

Theres been no pond Luscombe for about 3 years, where have the ducks gone maybe the councillors could go to the same place

Dawlish needs good PR to "talk it up". Hence Waitrose better than Sainsbury, Sainsbury better than Tesco, Tesco better than Somerfield, Somerfield better than Aldi & Lidl. Get the picture?

Imagine the scenario your in your 30s having a bit of an arguement with someone (nothing violent) a snotty nosed 17 year old comes over aand tries to cool things down or do you for breach of peace

Polls are not representative of the people.The only way to do it is send a questionaire to every household and Force them to complete it and thats draconian or have something on the lawn. Not everyone can attend meetings they have other comitments Most people I talk to the topic is not if we should have a proper retail outlet but where. I think all those against have either got property prices in ...

You can get a bed in Argos or any high street furniture shop heard Baileys do a tasty all day breakfast

If theres not a machine dont worry and dont advertise the fact long may free parking reing

Have to go on a diet for a month. If Sainsburys was open I could go on a healthy living plan for April and save some wedge

Really dont care about the shop the rest not true I work hard and have no kids to go out and enjoy a pint.The bit about kids etc? well I am sure you like me know at least 2 or 3 iresponsible people round here that have kids expecting the tax payers to keep their offspring

If I was them I would close right NOW and leave Dawlish without fuel as Sainsburys will be selling it.

is your room still available and if so how much per week?

Yes, a supermarket will stop the trek to Newton or Exeter but it will also bring more cars to us here, in Dawlish. Swings and roundabouts if you ask me. Money will go out of the local economy and into Mr Sainsbury's pockets. 1. From the tourists and 2. From those who live here. Jobs? I have an open mind on how many and how well paid etc. However, let's see if we can guess where a lot of that money ...

i think that people lose their money so much quicker on the casino machines in there that they no longer hang around for the racing. hence the shop has less people in at one time, but the takings and profits are still on the increase. one machine could pay the wages of both attendants in just a couple of minutes of being played.

The bomb was indeed a prop for someone's media studies however, the funny thing is, is that the 'bomb' was sat in a staff room for a very long time. Very farcical, I'm sure you'll agree

hear hear!!

No sand at the Warren. Probably sand from Exmouth!

A Revamp for Dawlish costing at least £200,000 has been earmarked by Teignbridge District Council as a "starting point" to revitalise the centre of Dawlish. The bandstand on the Lawn will be replaced by a multi-functional building which will be a performance stage, bandstand and information point. District council leader Alan Connett said it's by no means a set figure just a "starting point" ...

A carer who attacked a fellow pub-goer in the street, causing a broken bone in his ear, has been convicted.At Exeter Crown Court 40-year-old Paul Drane, of Park Road, Dawlish, was found guilty after a two day trial of causing grievous bodily harm to Mark Symonds in October 2006. Sentence on Drane, who had denied the charge, was adjourned for the preparation of a pre-sentence report and he was ...

Have you tried putting a note of suggestions through the door if it's worrying you that much!

Maybe not this developer, but definitely one linked to the realm!!

I am also glad that Tesco are looking elsewhere as I wasn't impressed the way they dealt with things, however I think it would be brilliant if Sainsburys set up in Shutterton especially with a Fuel Station, the prices in Dawlish are just too high. What are other peoples thoughts.

a job well done guys,cofton chip shop has lost a good take away and dawlish town that has gained.

This proposal to fell the trees is absolutely abhorent. It is the thin edge of the wedge. What next? The sports pavilion to be pulled down? Not stealth tax but stealth axe! Protest!!

maybe one of their party was coming out to check on the children every twenty minutes or so. obviously its never been heard of for a toddler to go missing in this day and age.

It strikes me that this whole school league table thing is abject nonsense and the quicker central government gets the whole thing knocked into touch the better. Manchester United & Liverpool are really good football teams. Why? Because they are comprised of those who are really talented at football. Can you compare them to Torquay United? Both are football teams after all? Why should some teams ...

Suggest you ask Tesco and Sainsbury that very question. (That is of course if they turn up......... I am awaiting to see what excuse(s) both will find for bottling out of attending.)

And you might very well wish to make that very point to Dawlish Community Trust.

Thanks for the replies, I am looking for a van with up to 10 years lease left, anything more and the prices are stupid. When my last lease ended in 2006 I enquired about a new van, they wanted £30k for a caravan that is way over the top when you bear in mind it is £2.5k per year site fees on DS. I have seen the park homes on Hazelwood, the only problem there is that I have customers from my pet ...
