I am afraid you just cannot rely on what the council say. I never used to be like this but after all the false promises regarding a skate facility and believe me there have been loads, I don't hold much hope for you're park at the Lawn.

Last I heard (but I've been away for a few days) one was sat one by mum and the other two vanished overnight. If I find out more then I'll post it.

Unfortunatley it was taken over by a gobby hag who sat there and smoked and chatted all day and basically spoilt the place. Her young daughter worked there aswell when she wasnt chatting to her mates. No basic customer service skills Now they are turning it into something but that has been going for ages. It could have been something really nice.

Dawlish carnival used to be great I will agree. But it has now been hijacked by a bunch of self seeking hypocrites who are more intrested in "how they look" than giving the people of Dawlish a good week. It's like a mutual appreciation Society for ugly people. But then again, that's what politics is, showbusiness for ugly people and anyone who thinks that the Carnival is not a political tool for ...

I've just found your message. Unfortunately Jim passed away in January 2001. He stayed in Holcombe until 2000 and then moved to a flat in Dawlish. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

At the end of the day, if it's recycling or any other subject to do with Teignbridge, it's all politics. This forum is proof of that, divide and conquer, if the Council can get the people of Dawlish or anywhere within Teignbridge to argue amongst themselves, then you are leaving them alone to push through any policies they like. Teignbridge is corrupt, we all know that.

A dimwit dad put his two girls' lives in peril - by making them walk just feet from a busy rail line.

Trainspotter Allan Wright, 25, who filmed the shocking scenes in Dawlish, Devon, said: "He jumped ...

Lets be honest here. The police in any town or city target one group in the maine, MOTORISTS, because they are an easy target and make money for the government. They are not really intrested in the real crooks (and lets be honest, the real crooks wear suits and call themselves MP'S and lawyers).

I read your article with interest. YOu are totally right. Dawlish has become a disgusting dirty place in the 6 years Ive lived here and its also becoming a place where anti social behaviour is common. I moved here in 2001 and bought a house in the town centre. In the 6 years since i ve been here the whole place has gone down hill and there is now a big drink and drugs problem in the area. Friday ...

This thread is defunct now as the letters are with the owner. The reason I didn't drop them back into the post box is because my young son opened it, it was personal and there was no return address. I deemed it urgent enough to look for him myself - successfully. I have some compassion, and the letters were of a nature that could have had serious consequences if not delivered. Many thanks for ...
