As I said in another post. I have waited up to half an hour or more trying to get through to 101 to advise police of certain situations. I think many that have given the police info in the past are sick and tired of paying to call 101 and rarely getting through.
Did the person who called the police about this call 101 and if so how long did they have to wait for it to be answered!
@Brooklyn Bridge (01 may 2016 11:02) plenty of signs and byelaws for what todo and not do in dawlish, but the ignorant people the signs have been put up for do not take any notice, suprise! Those that cycle along footpaths and sea walls or let their dogs run amuck or leave rubbish strewn all over the Lawn are ignorant to start with. I have found to my own cost how aggresive and abusive these ...
Walked the dog over there for many years and never seen any den's for dinking and drug taking. Any correlation between the local new builds and this activity?
It's the same old BS that was spouted when many of the long term mental institutions were disbanded with the trumpets of change spouting 'care in the community'. Many patients were thrown out on the street and put in BnB's by the social services and what happened to those sites that were closed down!

I thought that was the large hole TDC keeps dumping the local people's money into, I must have been wrong!
@ZIGGY - thanks for the heads up on this. i would have thought that this could be taken as a conflict of interest. at the very least could be construde as something else. I wonder how many tickets have gone to any of the worthy charities in Teignbridge? Shame on any councillors who accepts the offer of 2 tickets and does not pass them on to a worthy cause in the district.

It seems, to me, that those developers building in Dawlish have the following set of rules:- Maximise house build/density over green area's Build a garage, but build it to the smallest dimensions possible. Unless you have a smart car or a push bike it won't go in and if it does you won't be able to get out when it is. Houses to be built with the smallest windows possible. ...
People may be more inclined to call the police if it wasn't for a non emergency line that is not fit for purpose. To top it off they charge you for sitting on your phone for 25+ mins. Last time I called 101 about a disturbance I had to phone three times and each time was over 10 minutes with no answer. As the situation had got worse I felt I needed to phone 999 as their was an escalating ...
