We lead on a story about plastic and polystyrene pollution concerns in the Dartmouth estuary, with fingers pointed at a pontoon owned by Kingswear Parish Council and the Higher Ferry.

Our picture story shows Rotarians handing over cheque which will help a volunteer teacher work in Nepal for three months.

Inside, we have news of problems within the NHS, with South Hams MP Sarah Wollaston accusing recently sacked minister Philip Dunne being accused of being "disingenuous" over bed occupancy figures.

We also report on reaction to last week’s front page story about the failure of Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust to reach agreement with the owner of the River View care centre – scuppering plans to move healthcare services to Townstal following last year’s closure of Dartmouth and Kingswear Hospital.

As ever, there’s much, much news inside.
