All very well keep bashing the police but you can't tell me some of the parents aren't aware of their little darlings antics, shouldn't need to be a police issue if the parents actively parented! Surely the shop they thieve from should be able to put their pictures on the shop entrance banning them, at some point the families will start to be embarrassed enough to do something about it. The law ...

Just looked at this on the Teignbridge website, I guess online won't open until then either perhaps Postal ballot packs will be sent to you before an election (usually eight working days before polling day). The ballot paper will be included with those cast at polling stations as long as we receive it before 10pm on polling day. Please bear the eight working days in mind, especially if you live ...

And there's the rub, it is a very tough decision 5yrs more tories nationally or lib dems locally. Absolutely disgusted how lib undemocratics treat us locally. So a tory vote locally won't change the national picture but may avoid a local lib dem candidate.. win win

It's open now, just been down and had a look

It does affect all of us if we are waiting for other health issues to be addressed but the NHS is blocked due to non vaccinated people taking up NHS time & beds

Walking through the town this evening and along the strand on the pavement opposite the shops and found ourselves having to walk out into the road to avoid the 2 taxis which were parked on the pavement. Pure laziness as there were parking spaces and loading bay available. Since when have aaztec taxis white mercedes estate car and blue peugeot rifter been given such special dispensation! Yes I do ...

Also with the new table arrangement, the attraction for seagulls etc. will be irresistible and the litter from serviettes, wrappings etc will not enhance the town!  I like many others have done more local shopping over the last few months but that has been because of the option to walk on either pavement should there be a queue outside any of the shops. I shall seriously have to have a rethink if ...

Why all the secrecy about which pubs have contravened rules, Boathouse has been named but none others? Surely if we knew who has been reckless it would enable us to make better choices if we were to visit any local hostelry and ensure our custom for those who have given a damn!

@deedoodle, I wasn't sure what your issue about the roof man was, if he is a builder who can't work because of the stay at home policy and is taking the opportunity to repair his own home, is that such a problem, or should he just sit looking out of his window critising others? I have had a family member die in their own bed this week and another elderly family member fall and fracture bones and ...

I wasn't aware until a recent experience that Lloyd's pharmacy use a central assembly service for making up prescriptions(I assume repeat ones only) which is sited in Bristol. I only stumbled across this when picking up prescriptions which instead of the usual paper bag, were in large plastic bags with a completely see through back to it for all the world to see what medication you are on! There ...

Many thanks Leatash, I guess as I'm normally working I've only become aware of it as I tried to have bank holiday lie-ins!

I saw very little wrong with his handling of someone who shouldn't have been there in the first place. A person was defending a space against another person, the man against a woman statement is nothing to do with it. Also how is anyone supposed to know these days who is genuine or not, does he wait until someone has been stabbed by an infiltrator at which time everyone would be shouting why did ...

Exactly, I hope they don't use local funds to attempt to stop the wall, if they are truly acting in the interests of the town then spend the money and efforts in clearing the seawall, THAT is what is going to stop visitors to Dawlish. Having walked it today from the Warren to Dawlish it was so uncomfortable with all the stones laying. The walkway should be clear and having witnessed wheelchair ...

I thought he was just referring to the number of temporary road work traffic lights we had to endure yesterday

@S read it again, it's how it's distributed I am refering to and the various nuances that certain countries have which should not be able to be applied when splitting funding. I assume the area you work in doesn't come across the same issues as my place of work does on a daily basis!

Yes and don't let the Lib Dems off, their only difference was that their leader was blatantly going to stop the will of the people, he wasn't even going to bother disguising it amongst many long meetings!! I'm sure there must be something more appropriate for the Dem to stand for! Never gonna get my vote

I would agree with Cassandra to be careful, I have been working from home today and had no problems at all with all my Talktalk systems

I commute 6.45am and am in exeter on average within 25/30 mins, leaving Exeter around 4pm to come home with a similar sort of return journey time. You obviously have the odd hold up, break down etc. but doesn't everywhere. Certainly  not enough to make me question travelling to work in Exeter in fact I lived around 3 miles to the east of Exeter afew years ago and that took me a similar length of ...

Yes, checking out DevonLive and it's looking like a good day for the town!

Agreed I think there's a push for the park which I'd rather there wasn't as we already have one in Manor Park/gardens, but if there has to be one then outside the tourist and toilets area would be best of a bad job. Also I would tend to support dogs on leads in the lawn area, it isn't really that sort of area for having dogs bounding about at will, there are other areas for that and Manor ...

Is it me or is there the usual messed up reporting on Devonlive, along with the councillors comments, sounds like everyone is talking about the new Countryside park but aren't the repairs just at the Warren car park. Clemens, Hockin, Mayne & Wrigley don't appear to know what they were commenting on

What a lovely day on the lawn today with the colourful vehicle gathering and the great music from the group on the bandstand. Thanks to all those who brought their vehicles to Dawlish for our enjoyment and packed the lawns out. Let's hope there will be room on the lawns for repeat performances for years to come!

Copib Way, proverbably C ouldn't O rganise P iss-up I n B rewery!

Exactly Plod, there should be an annual limit to the number of FOI requests an individual can have or there should be a small admin charge (I guess that wouldn't be allowed under a TRO or other some such!). There are whole industries being set up in local governments out of our tax monies in order to succomb to peoples rather irrational bee in bonnet hobbies. I'm not saying some FOI's may not be ...

I can't believe how truly irresponsible and inappropriate the action leatash takes, do they really think causing such stress to a cashier is going to make a situation change overnight. Do something to affect the ones responsible not take it out on someone at the very end of the chain minding their own business and just trying to make an honest days living. I'm sure there is far more to go through ...

Oh very funny, don't you two start!!

Yes me too Diana, at the risk of talking in riddles myself, I'm of the belief to put up or shut up, say it as it is or not at all!  Otherwise after a while it all gets too tedious and loses any impact, interest or support it may otherwise have had

Yes thanks Lynne for the chapter and verse from the "mirror" I was merely correcting an incorrect quote. Others may be interested in your stats but although I am all too aware of them, I haven't lost what I never had!

If you look at Dawlish Waterfowl on Facebook it does give a short update, yes she died but it doesn't mention how, but it does say that they are continuing the incubation

I don't know JD2017 but I read it in DevonLive yesterday

I am also surprised how people with children would even want the park there, with the ever increasing and blatant drug dealing, bad language and drinking abuse. It's no point crying foul after the event when a child has been swayed or affected in some way by what is currently about or moaning about the fact that there is broken glass/bottles in there from the previous evenings gathering and ...

I'm afraid I'm no singer but to get the ball rolling, how about "Dawlishious Sounds"

Perhaps that may explain why there were police out at 3am shining torches around obviously looking for someone towards the west side of Dawlish. Maybe if the Lansdowne had its opening hours significantly reduced i.e midnight closing,  if not closed altogether, then maybe just maybe, this could have an affect on the drugs issue mentioned on other posts.....just saying!!  Get the drug dogs in there ...

It is looking like the new SANGS/Country Park is nearing completion, but do my eyes deceive me or does it look like the road into it is unnecessarily narrow?  Also, if it has been possible, I hope there have been attempts at making it traveller proof otherwise I can't imagine it would be long before it gets taken over.

Don't try and turn it in to humour now, an apology would have been more appropriate though a little too late. You are vindictive and display all the examples of the stench that is unfortunately often found in politics, never again will I vote libreral Democrats in this area and quite possibly any area come to that. 2 votes from this household to Mr Clatworthy

It's obviously saying that the voters are in the main happy with what is being done with the level of budget given. we can all sit there like some candidates and promise to reinstate children and elderly homes, reinstate no.2 bus amongst other generous offerings, but when it is known that these things cost a great deal more than is being spent now and all that can be offered up is "we'll take it ...

I'm glad she is not, someone has to rise above the petty tit for tat squabbles that those TV debates tend to descend to and Corbyn is going to look stupid enough without entering that ring! Let's just get on with it, we know as much as we are going to know, it's a little naive to feel that something which is generated for TV audiences and the hype surrounding it should really be a marker by which ...

Really!! £25!!! surely not a cult type thing!!

Will the coaches still be disembarking outside Baileys and if so do people disembark onto the cycle path as I gather the cycle path would be nearest to the road if my understanding of the proposed layout is correct?

Shame on whoever is responsible, evil B.......!
