Ask DAY (Dawlish Action for Youth) they are behind the scheme. Alternatively contact Dawlish Town Council they might know.

I thought the building was to be a Youth and Community Centre. However, if you take a look at the plans you will see that although the space of the building is exactly the same it is now only the top floor that is to be used as a Youth Centre with the bottom floor being used as a "series of classrooms and training areas for disaffected, unemployed and poorly educated young people in Teignbridge". ...

The English Riviera isn't my idea of upmarket. With the exception of Brixham I think it's awful - even Torquay is run down. Agree that Dawlish mustn't lose its 'essence' but the least it needs is a wash and brush up. By moving into a different tourist market it won't necessarily become the same as other seaside towns. Other seaside towns have changed their image/clientele very successfully and ...

Totally agree that if Dawlish town regenerates and in doing so goes upmarket so must the Warren.It isn't impossible and the two rely on each other. Warren golf club is already there.

That is not the same thing. The lease says that for the football ground to be used for anything other than football TDC must give its approval as the landowner. Ergo - if the land is not for sale - Tesco can't buy it. If ...

I would be really interested in hearing from anyone who has some pictures of the old 'High House' or from the footpath in that area that ran up to Seven Sisters before the development of Swallows Acre in the early 1990's. This area/property is always strangely absent from books of old Dawlish.

I have just relocated to Dawlish (My wife and I grew up in Dawlish/Teignmouth) and I am a Geologist by profession (although I now do a different job). There is a book that is now out of print (I think published by David & Charles) called The Geology of the South Devon Coast which details the area around Dawlish and Teignmouth (I have a copy somewhere). In summary the famous red sandstones around ...
