Dawlish News

We hope we have seen the end of the snow for this Winter in Dawlish. The cold weather has killed some of the semi-tropical plants which we all grow. We have been complacent for the past ten years but have been caught out this winter.The snowdrops in our garden have lasted much longer. The primroses are all coming into bloom.

 

 The Darwin tulips will soon be in flower in our gardens.We commemorate 200years since the birth of Darwin this year. 

 

Work is progressing well on the new pavement on Brunswick Street. Motorist will find parking much easier along the street and pedestrians can walk along to view the waterfowl.

The new Piazza is coming along. The produce market will soon be held there each month.

Also various events throughout the year  .

 

The Beach at Dawlish Warren is still mostly pebbles much to the disappointment of the children. Some areas are still sandy, there were lots of people on the beach during half term enjoying this spell of mild sunny weather.

 We were hoping the sand would be put back on this beach before the Summer season, but I don't think it will happen. It is the usual plea of no money and who will foot the bill.

A pilot scheme is to be carried out by putting sand beyond the Red Rock Cafe and checking the flow. I am also told it has to be the right sort of. sand or it could set like concrete. 

This not going to help this seasons visitors  or the children who want to build their sandcastles
