Sorry that some of you are disappointed that we have taken a week off. We have been open from the 8th Febuary, and have worked right through until last weekend. We didn't take a break after Easter so have decided to take some time out to recharge our batteries, visit our families, and generally rest. We have worked hard to achieve a top ten position on Trip Advisor, but have consistently remained ...

Planning Application
27 Mar 2015

@Carer its also know as the place with the black swans. There are now four. I don't think four swans are going to encourage heards of tourists however a conversational and controversial piece of art will.  I wouldn't worry about it too much though this council can't even hang a flag onto a pole let alone install some new ones. I give up.

This is an excellent idea. Dawlish needs a conversation piece and this could be it. I'll bet that as soon as its sited people will be standing around it taking pictures all day long. The weird thing about Dawlish is they don't seem to want anything different. That is to say the people of Dawlish who are most vocal, for example those who stood against the new bandstand opportunity, seem to be the ...

The current planning application allows for public comment and in itself is a public consultation isn't it? I've put my for pence worth of support in and anyone else is welcome to do so. Let's get on wth the 21st century. There will still be plenty of Victorian buildings left in Dawlish.

Agreed. To congratulate themselves for this project is all very well, but the neglect by network rail is astonishing. This year they were forced to deal with some of the exposed ironworks on the beach after a number of us made formal complaints. The collapsing of the concrete block at the side of the cafe pushed them into more "stopgap" action, resulting in a concrete abortion of a job. Ugly and ...

It's a lot of money. Probably a six figure sum. The council has to sort what causes the problem further upstream first. They are working on it, but there are no quick fix solutions. There are problems dealing with the environment agency, who seem to call all the shots but contribute nothing financially.

Macmillan at willos
13 Sep 2013

Pardon the intrusion. We are holding our third Macmillan coffee morning on Friday 27th September 2013, as well as giving our profits away for the day(a bit mad for a coffee shop) we will have a raffle and a bottle stall to try and boost the funds. It's difficult to keep asking for raffle prizes but if anyone can donate a bottle of anything for the bottle stall we would be most grateful. You can ...

Summer nights
6 Aug 2013

I think it's fifties music tonight-acoustic. There are some children's activities as well. Those shops taking part will have details in their shop window. I'm sure it was mentioned in last weeks Gazzette as well. Hope that helps.

Music on the lawn this evening and many businesses staying open later as part of the towns Summer Nights venture. This is every Tuesday through August.

Old viaduct lights
19 Jul 2013

I see the old non working lights linked between the stench pipes above the viaduct have been removed, I am assuming they are not going to be repaired. Anybody know what the plan is? Or are we still held slave to the conservation officer?
