Residents and visitors to Dawlish are benefiting from a new footbridge built by a team of engineers, designers and surveyors from Teignbridge District Council.
The new 10-metre timber bridge, which passes over Dawlish Water to link to Manor Gardens, replaces a dilapidated and unsafe bridge which was closed 12 months ago because rotting timbers and corroded steel beam supports meant it was too dangerous to keep open.
Dawlish Town Council and Teignbridge have been working together to solve the problem and provide a new much-needed link.

These are no ordinary pair of boots, and not for the reasons you may think.
The fact that they are blue makes them stand out from most footwear of a similar nature, for sure.
But what is quite extraordinary about this pair of boots is the woman who wears them.
Robyn Steward has a condition called prosapagnosia which means she does not recognise faces, but recognises people by their shoes!
