This week we lead on news that the expansion of Ivybridge south of the A38 is looking increasingly likely.

Inside there’s news of a lifetime ban from teaching for a convicted sex offender.

We also have plenty of seasonal action including a report of the ’Santas on a Bike’ ride, and local woman Serrita Hill, who is once again raising money for charity with her amazing Christmas lights.

This and much more in the Ivybridge & South Brent Gazette, in shops on Friday.
