Ziggy, we might be in need of another (bigger) supermarket but not in the Sandy Lane vicinity!

I saw your list of those opposed to a supermarket it in Dawlish. Well Done! Can I cordially invite these peopel to come and have a look at www.sandylane.btik.com You'll be most welcome!

WHo on earth really thinks Tesco is going to help Dawlish? Tesco's don't care about Dawlish! Tesco's realise that there are still 30% of local shoppers shopping in the town - Tesco's wants that 30% and they will get it, if they are allowed to build in Dawlish. The town is just another opportunity for them to "mine" yet more cash out of local residents. And if we allow them to "mine" here - it's ...

Remember to go the Langstone Cliff Hotel, on Friday or Saturday. To say YES YES YES to cheap prices!!!

Dawlish is a typical small seaside town very boring in winter and buzzing in the summer. There is no employment other than care homes or bar work other menial jobs or summer jobs its full of old people who dislike the young and think the world owes them something for living through the war there is no community spirit the only social events i.e carnival charity fairs on the lawn are put on for ...

Hi, thanks, but i'm afraid i don't have a dog.

Fantastic news - tell me, as Dawlish has had no real policing for some years now, has the campaign to raise money for the CCTV you are going to need around there started yet. What's the number to call?? Seriously, it's not negativity, it's reality. Go and have a walk around every park in Dawlish like I have over the time with my kids, and you will see really explicit graffiti, bits snapped off, ...

the co op is quite possibly the worst store I have ever had the misfortune to shop in.

Devon thrashed Dorset 9-1 in their latest South & West Counties Championship Group B game at Budleigh Salterton.Plymouth Argyle's Sam Blake scored five of the goals. After a couple of early scares, Devon were 3-0 up inside 15 minutes, with all the goals coming from Ellis Glanfield's corners. Carmen Thornton headed home the first, Blake got the second and Cullompton Rangers' Jess Hooper side ...

Some organisations recieved nothing at all! They over spent big time on the airshow i heard they over spend by thousands!

Went to Baileys once, the lump of chips caked in oil were disgusting and I won't mention the basic food hygiene rules that were openly flouted! Chicoland gave me a really dodgy tummy, and the previous people running it had a vermin problem out the back - environmental health were involved, don't know what it's like now though.

Well it proves that the town has very low outlook on life. None of the Committee get paid, they are all volunteers and they do a fab job, give them your suggestion Im sure they will look into them. I agree we need more on the lawn during Carnival rather than spending so much on the airshow. Another thing is that they are not a registerd chairty, and the money they give to chairity is based ...

Get rid of the black swans they are originally from Aussie where they are said to fetch bad luck. Make it law that everyone must smile at least once a day and that children are liked and tolerated. Kids learn by example all I ever see and hear is oldies moaning and groaning about the youth

A wave of Lottery cheer is washing over South Devon with £160,000 going to two good causes by popular vote. The Dawlish Action for Youth Skate Park and Torbay Disabled Sailing Association have each been awarded £80,000 in TV voting for the People's Millions.The Dawlish skate project for a street-styled skate park was pitted against a sporting scheme for youngsters in Bude. Designed by Dawlish ...

Well you do now have a better choice, I have recently launched a taxi service in Dawlish. My Tel: 863858. I offer discounts for pre-booked work, the earlier you book, the cheaper I am! My normal hours are 8am to 8pm, my night time work (after 8pm) is on a pre-booked basis, and because of this I am very competitively priced, so if you know what you are doing in advance - ring me for a quote! ...

The only people that thought they were necessary were the Town Council and 2% of the poll they conducted.

It will be interesting to see the vote result .. but Dawlish is up against a community spirited entry in Bude.

This section is still lost and forgotten!!! I see Mr.Webmaster deleted the similar comment I made in my last posting! Anyway, everytime I visit I seek out the brown tabby cat that is nearly always asleep in a small alley off the Strand. Seems to have been around for years. Do any locals know its name or its age? Must be getting on a bit now. Friendly cat though. Their, thats increased the ...

She said: "There is a desperate need for safe environments for the children and teenagers to ...

Its nice to able to agree with every comment made regarding the lunacy of the bus stops. When there is a serious accident they (council) with say 'We will learn from our mistake' it will be too late then. Why is it the buses from Dawlish to Teignmouth always manage to stop in a position so that the Island stops you overtaking when you can see its clear to do so.

Teignbridge council have what I think is a hidden agenda, all parking will be put out to tender, and you can be sure NCP will get the contract, and we all the know the sneaky tricks they employ to make a profit.

AN INTEGRATED approach to tackling youth crime is the aim of a new youth crime prevention strategy being launched next month by The Youth Offending Partnership led by Devon County Council. Children First is the name of the multi-agency strategy being launched at a conference being held in Dawlish. The strategy is the result of a collaborative approach between key agencies including the council, ...

I am glad the snooky trust are hoping to help people in dawlish and devon its nice to see a shop trying to raise money for the community may their future be prosperous

A Winter Postcard The beauty of a winter's morn - when snow is fresh and clean; Boughs on evergreens clothed in white - a pretty sight to be seen. Bushes are, themselves, a garden - to be remembered in the spring; A postcard scene on a winter's morn, to me, is everything. Joan Adams Burchell February 21, 2005

the remains of the burnt out playpark, do not give a bad impresion of the town they are hidden away. There is various ways to get funding for these sort of things,its about time our council got its finger out

I walked through the lawn a few times while the kids were on half term no surprise where a lot of them were playing, the space between bandstand and bowling green. The excuse about the road being a problem is a load of rubbish. Get that petition going Gubba Gee. The council can apply for lottery funding money is not an excuse. For some unknown reason they want Dawlish to stay in the dark ages, ...

I have lived in Dawlish for the last 2 years i wasn't aware it is was horrible place to live has it really got a bad name.
