This week we lead on a story about campaign groups in the South Hams moving forwards to work together to reinstate healthcare in the town.

The Dartmouth and Area Healthcare Action Group called a public meeting this week to update residents on the group’s progress and to discuss plans with other healthcare organisations in the town.

Our picture story in the Chronicle this week announces the news that Dart RNLI’s new lifeboat, Joan Bate has come into service.

In other news we have reports on the number of arrests in the area dropping and updates from the town’s Patients Participation Group.

As usual there will be the ’What’s On’, around the clubs, and ’Village Voices’ sections inside.

If you can’t get to the shops, or you have moved out of the area, you can get all South Hams Newspapers online here: http://www.southhams-today.co.uk/subscribe.cfm.
