born here

I dont hate Dawlish but not want to see it go downhill. All the shops in Old Town St., are closed there was a shop on the opposite corner of breaking wind at least one shop has gone from High St. The new picture shop has seen people come and go over the last few years. If a group of teenager are on the lawn they are assumed to be out for trouble. My dad says they used to have B B Q on the beach ...

Some of us do work and have a life outside this forum What is wrong with Dawlish? Well for a start There is nothing for the 16/18 year olds to do Kids get moaned at if they skateboard on the lawn Housing is unaffordable either bought or rented If you want a night out its the pub or the occasional showing at the theatre It is tourist orientated other than the Christmas market there is ...

Have you an option 4 as I am staying work in Exeter have written to our M.P. Fed up with whinging. Us young people dont have a voice in this town.

I have nothing against the older generation. People comming to retire is another matter,as it pushes up house prices is a drain on social services & Gps

My family live here don't really want to move away but will if things stay as they are else my degree for nothing, Re the elder population Devon & Cornwall have more elderly population % than rest of country not because they were born & bred here or came here & put something into the community, this has become a retirement area

I am new to this. Have lived here all my life and really upset at the way the place where I have lived all my life is going downhill us young people cannot get good jobs cannot get on the housing ladder unless we move away, Dawlish will end up being a town of old folk like Sidmouth
