Local - Like I said above I did actually, eventually, realise what you meant and indeed looked at the thread. All it has told me is that the cafe is no more. It doesn't tell me what people, local people, know about its future/who owns it/why nothing is being done to it. So......does anyone local know?

What has happened? Is it still empty? What a shame. Not only has Dawlish lost a lovely ...
