This week we lead on a bad bus experience for three elderly passengers left stranded in South Brent.

Our front page picture shows South Brent’s carnival royalty for 2016 with their amazing haul of trophies from the season - well done girls.

Inside there is a look back at Modbury’s panto last weekend, and a look ahead to South Brent’s, coming up, and a heartbreaking tale of a cancer sufferer who has found love and is desperate to carry on as long as possible.

All this and much more in this week’s Ivybridge & South Brent Gazette, out Friday.
