I agree. I think a land train between Dawlish Warren and Dawlish, calling in at Sandy Lane car park to pick up and drop off coach drivers, would be a popular attraction and be well used.

They stripped Dawlish Warren of its character to create a monster. It has taken the hard work of the traders in the Warren to bring back some of that character but that has taken years to ...

As was seen in Newquay over the weekend, it takes just one unexpected wave to devastate a family forever!

There should be a record of my question and the response from the police representative in the relevant town council minutes but the emails were sent to my personal email address.

When I ceased being a councillor I deleted everything linked to the role, being mindful of the data protection ACT.
