@1263 - Well said. https://www.torbayandsouthdevon.nhs.uk/uploads/annual-report-and-accounts-2023-2024.pdf

Just a walk along the beach between Dawlish and the Warren will show you how poorly maintained the sea wall is, which must be a reflection of many area's of sea wall that are there to protect the line from damage.

So the cost to do work on the Manor House would be described as HUGE I presume if £5k is large.

Well it looks like the cctv installed through the Town as a deterrent is working like a charm then, yes I am being cynical. CCTV in Dawlish Town Centre was primarily installed to enhance public safety and support local security efforts. The system aims to deter crime , monitor high-traffic areas , and assist law enforcement in responding to incidents. As part of broader town centre security ...

The primary beneficiaries of delaying local elections appear to be existing political incumbents , particularly Labour and Conservative councillors in areas where elections are postponed, as they avoid facing voters during a period of low party popularity. According to analysis, Labour and the Conservatives are expected to suffer losses in local elections due to declining support since their ...

Well that is all fine and dandy for those who are mobile. Call me paranoid but is the Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust    trying to close it down like they did  back in 2023!!!!!!!!!!

This town just goes from bad to worse as the years roll on, in my opinion.

MERRY XMAS TO YOU TO WEBMASTER.

Teignbridge District Council has provided financial support to developers for link road projects through mechanisms such as underwriting contributions and securing funding agreements. For the Dawlish urban extension, the council secured £4.9 million in government grants and £1.3 million from developers to fund a £6.2 million project, including a new link road and Sweet Violets Bridge, which ...

'Entertainment will still proceed in shops' what does that actually mean!

Is this the same man? or just some one else with the same name as the age does not seem to be the same. Connor Sidell, a man with a history of criminal activity, was involved in a significant incident in Dawlish in April 2023 . He was caught during a burglary at a house in Regent Street after tripping on the stairs, which alerted the homeowner who initially thought he was her son returning from a ...

Dawlish has been in a state of chaos for nearly a decade now and the council does not help with the utter downward spiral it has been sent in, in my opinion.

@burnside I would have thought it would be the food rather than the camera but that is just my opinion.

Police crack down, what a joke. Just seen three thugs all hooded and masked up on SUR RON's or similar shoot passed me in Dawlish must have been doing at least 30mph. Cops round here are an absolute joke. If you do see one they are in their vehicle windows up shooting past.

Most probably the same two who are frequently seen on there black e-bikes with all their black gangsta clothing and handbag strapped across their chest. When they are caught, ha ha yeah most probably not with the Keystone cops we have round here, but if they were. Get some wooden stocks put on the tiny section of The Lawn that is left and place these two little thugs in them and allow people to ...

The cons will say anything to keep what voters they have. If people do not realise by now that most politicians lie the same way the rest of us breath. The only items on their agenda when voted in is to tow the party line and keep their gravy train going and a few weeks before a general election they start spouting lies to either get in or stay in, in my opinion. Problem is the herds of sheeple ...

I assume the supposed illegal  E-Bike clampdown the police said they had started has now been extended to make out they are doing more than they actually are. If the e-bike is not road legal I expect the little toe rags will just accelerate away from the police and get away ha ha ha

Always tax increases whilst the councils do less and less while making sure they have more and more, in my opinion.

Mine went down last few years due to a change in how I use the water I have paid for, why pay these greedy water companies twice. Remember - to save money do not waste the water you use for bathing or doing the dishes just by throwing it down the drain. It is quite clear to see that your sewage bill is the main culprit. Need I say anymore as to how you can save on you water bill!

An existing oak tree, but it is okay to lay waste to acres of agricultural grade land for multiple large housing estates!

What Brook, it should be renamed The Trickle, how about actually doing something of worth and dredging The Brook and maintaining it correctly instead of metaphorically gold plating a rusted out old car.

@1263 , very succinctly put, mate. I could not have put it better myself. I feel these days the police are all about ticking political and woke spreadsheet tasks of their monthly todo list's. Rather than being guardians of the peace whose position is to:- "I (Name), of (Address), do solemnly and sincerely declare and affirm that I will well and truly serve the King in the office of constable, with ...

Inspiring an evening of peace and community and a punch up down the Lansdowne later to finish off the evening ha ha ha

Well, other than the Carnival event they must have visited a different Dawlish to the crapper I live in. 20 years ago it was a beautiful and well maintained and cherished Town but over the last 2 decades the councils have run it into the ground whilst continually increasing the rates, in my opinion

Police, we have police down here!!!!!!

This Town just continues to spiral down the crapper, but the cost's continue to spiral upwards and for what!

5 weeks lead time to see a G.P. Just as well I do not live in a City rather than a sleepy coastal town.

AS ONE OF DEVON'S FLOURISHING SEASIDE DESTINATIONS', WHAT A JOKE. IN THE 20 PLUS YEARS I HAVE LIVED HERE IT HAS GONE FROM A NICE AND PLESEANT TOWN TO AN ABSOLUTE CRAP HOLE OF A DEMOLITION SITE. FERALS ALL DRESSED FROM HEAD TO TOE IN BLACK, RIDING HIGH POWERED E-BIKES. TO DRUG DEALERS, PACKS OF FERAL KIDS. DRUNKS. ALSO A CONTINUANCE UPHEAVEL OF BUILDING WORK FROM YEARS OF THE SEA WALL CONSTRUCTION ...

ALREADY VOICED MY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS ON ANOTHER POST RELATED EXACTLY TO THIS ON DAWLISH.COM.

Have they fixed all the pot holes then, NOPE - thought so. Talk about hype 'Dawlish Grand Prix', please a bunch of sweaty blokes on push bikes breaking the speed limit through the construction site called Dawlish ha ha ha ha ha

@Steve - I did not realise that you could insert youtube vids on posts, interesting.

And in future those in charge of the school might learn from this young lads endevour to may be ask the students before they decide to implement changes. Considering the school's sole purpose is for the well being and education of said students, in my opinion.

@Webmaster , thankyou....that spam was getting very annoying.

I must be living in a different Dawlish as 'you will love the beautiful setting of The Lawn' seems a far difference from my Dawlish where the Lawn looks somewhat different. Also 'vibrant array of shops', my Dawlish has betting shops, charity shops, over priced nik naks and shoe shops with a smattering of convenience stores. I must find out where this rather stunning sounding Dawlish is, yes I am ...

Uhm, may be do not follow these dodgey links or worse call any number's on the posts.

Have to pop down and see them, they had some nice quality garden tools and chainsaw's last and at a pretty good price considering they looked almost brand new. I believe they will even source gear for you if it is not currently in stock.

They ask for the opinions of the town's folk and always do the  complete opposite as long as it can waste as much money as possible and continue the rapid downward spiral of decay to the town, in my opinion. Observations over the past 20 odd years living in Dawlish.

Does that mean they will fix all the large pot holes or just put signs out for them to avoid falling in. I assume it will be the latter knowing anything todo with Dawlish, unlike Newton Abbot and Teignmouth.

I experienced anti social behaviour and bullying for over 12 years on a regular basis and reported all these incidents to the police and they literally did nothing at all. My confidence in the Police is less than zero. In the local area there have been drug/alcohol related crimes for years and if anything they are getting worse. The only time you see any police is when they either flying overhead ...
