News in Dawlish

It is fantastic that a trade deal with Australia has been reached, presenting an enormous opportunity for the UK. We are Australia's second largest trading partner outside the Asia-Pacific and trade between our two countries was worth £18.8 billion in 2019. The deal will eliminate tariffs on all UK goods and will support jobs and businesses across the country. People under the age of 35 will also be able to travel and work in Australia more freely.

Crucially, British farmers will be protected by a cap on tariff-free imports for 15 years through the use of tariff rate quotas and further safeguards. The Trade and Agriculture Commission will provide independent scrutiny of animal welfare in the deal ahead of its ratification. Agricultural producers are also being supported to increase exports overseas including in the Indo-Pacific.

After a week of variable weather, with some warm days and sunshine, this weekend is unfortunately expected to take a turn for the worse.

Saturday will be overcast with scattered showers, and have a moderate wind gusting up to 21mph. The evening, however, may well be nice with the wind dying down and the sun coming out in intervals - but most will be watching the football!

Dawlish Nub News' event of the week is Dawlish Against Plastic's beach clean happening this Saturday 3 July at 9.30am.

In what promises to be a huge match considering all the (sporting) history between the two nations, football could well be coming home today - but where can you watch it, and what are the rules?

Where can I watch the match?

Devon food businesses are being invited to book places at one of two free webinars about important changes to food labelling legislation that take effect in October.

Dawlish's derelict Old Vicarage has now seen further collapse after the heavy rains yesterday - with residents reporting that the West end of the roof fell down entirely at around 9.40am this morning (28 June).

It comes as a significant amount of stonework reportedly fell yesterday evening at around 7pm, with the roof leaning back and the chimney stack resting on just two pieces.

The pub on Commercial Road known as The Dog House Inn is now under new management - and has been renamed.
