Our lead this week concerns the reliability or otherwise of Stagecoach bus services in and around Dartmouth, with councillors receiving an increase in complaints from passengers who say they have been let down.

Our picture is of the Sea Sunday blessing of boats on the Town Jetty.

Inside, we have the latest from the plan to stage a dog festival, Woofstock UK, in the town next year, plus we shed more light on First World War Victoria Cross recipient Cpl Theodore Veale’s time in Dartmouth.

As ever, there much, much news in this week’s paper.
