Spent today at the Luscombe Castle charity day, good to see a local event running and nice to spend some time in the area meeting people and having a look around.

Always good to see community events bringing people together in and around Dawlish.

SHOCKING: Keir Starmer would rather pay Putin for Russian oil, than drill British oil from our North Sea.

Britain's welfare bill is out of control.

The next Conservative government will urgently reassess all PIP claims for mild anxiety, depression and ADHD.

So those that can work, do work.

I’m proud to have been selected as the Conservative candidate for the Dawlish South West by-election on 25th June.

Over the coming weeks I’ll be out across the ward speaking to residents, listening to concerns, and discussing what matters most locally.

If you live in Dawlish South West, I’d really appreciate you taking a minute to fill out my residents survey using the QR code at the end of the video.

I want this campaign to be shaped by local people and local priorities. -election

We are so lucky to have so many fantastic local independent shops, farm shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Please support them and keep this place special 🙏

Hello!

My name is Joe Dagger, and I’m one of the candidates in the upcoming Dawlish South West by-election.

I’m standing to Put Dawlish First.

To me, that means:

* better representation
* better accountability
* better roads and streets

I will do this by:

* standing up for Dawlish when key decisions are being made
* holding regular meetings so residents can always have their say
* working with partners at both District and County level to improve local conditions

Most importantly, I want to hear directly from local residents. If there’s an issue in Dawlish you think needs attention, please feel free to message me, I want this campaign to be shaped by the people who live here.

If these are values you think the next Dawlish South West Councillor should have, then on 25th June:
