For too long, the iconic Dawlish railway viaduct has been left to deteriorate while repeated requests for it to be properly repainted have been refused. As one of the most recognisable landmarks on our beautiful coastline, it should be a source of pride—not a symbol of neglect. Dawlish is a town that relies heavily on tourism, with tens of thousands of visitors arriving each year to enjoy our seafront, businesses and stunning scenery. The condition of the viaduct sends the wrong message about our community. We are calling on Network Rail to invest in Dawlish by committing to repaint/restore the viaduct, demonstrating that our town deserves the same care and respect as other parts of the rail network. Please sign this petition and help us show that the people of Dawlish will no longer accept years of neglect.
