I'm perfectly fine thank you.

So I've now had some time to find out more about this changing places facility. Seems it is a toilet facility specifically aimed at those who are dependent on others for help with their toiletting Also,as I write this, I do not know how TDC is financing this installation but from research it seems that central government has a pot of money that it is asking councils to bid for specifically in ...

Yes, it's the bridge that will go over Shutterton Brook so that the new road twixt Gatehouse Farm and Sainsbury's is er.....linked up. This was/is the road that was identified as needing to be built back in 2014. It's only taken ten years!

This letter is in the most recent edition of the Dawlish Gazette. " I have been following the erosion of the dunes and the movement of the beach at Dawlish Warren since about 2005-2006.  Commenting through two local plans, the Shoreline Management Plan (SMP2) and the Exe Estuary Partnership.  In my opinion the long term future of this location is currently not looking good.

er........all this money that the developers are spending. Would that be out of the goodness of their hearts or because they have to make such financial contributions as a condition of their being able to make a profit from developing this land?

THE Labour Party’s decision to put Newton Abbot on its list of ‘non-priority’ general election constituencies has been welcomed by the man who wants to wrest the seat from the Conservatives . Lib Dem Martin Wrigley, who leads Teignbridge Council, will stand at the election expected in 2024, aiming to unseat Tory MP Anne Marie Morris. Read more here ...

this is what is at the bottom of the press article "Parents, a gift you may have spend hundreds of pounds on, may then cost you more money in recovery fees.'" Might I suggest that it could cost them more than that - the life of their child! I have witnessed on more than one occasion how near to an accident there has been between motor vehicle and child on an e- scooter. They are not only a ...

This is the text of Dawlish Town Council's submission to the Teignbridge Local Plan (2020-2040) Addendum Consultation (SWRRP = South West Rail Resilience Programme). Resolved that the committee would submit the following comments on behalf of Dawlish Town Council: Dawlish Town council would like to comment that they are happy with the removal of the 3 sites, Southdowns Road, Kenton and ...

If anyone is interested in knowing why no sites were selected it seems that the main issue is that most of the land lays within the Dawlish Warren Critical Drainage Area and for the time being at least the Environment Agency has put an effective ban on any more development there due to flood risk. (The Persimmon ongoing development, and the yet to be started developments at Gatehouse and Secmaton ...

Don't know what it is like town side of the above junction trying to get out of town, but there is a long tailback going further back than the junction with Warren Road by Warren Copse for traffic trying to get into town (or trying to access Henty Ave, Sandy Lane, Elm Grove Road). Just a heads up.
