Exeter Green Party have launched their manifesto for the City Council elections under the banner 'development today as if tomorrow matters'.
The Party calls for urgent new and imaginative ways to build and deliver affordable housing, pointing to the fact that Exeter has been identified as the third most unaffordable place in the South West to rent and one of the most expensive in which to buy. Elected Green councillors will push for Council owned brownfield sites such as car parks to be turned into new social housing developments available to rent and for an ambitious programme of...
One of Devon’s most stunning beaches has received some tender loving care from a group of community volunteers.
Corinna Stephens organised the event at Ladram Bay, on the Jurassic Coast between Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton in East Devon, because of her love of the beach there.

It’s because that’s where his heart lies. Roger Young is one of the South West’s most successful businessmen, selling some of the most expensive vehicles money can buy, but it all started in a workshop on his father’s farm on Bodmin Moor – and he’s never forgotten it.
