This week we lead on a new statement from Ivybridge Town Council as to why it opposes a bridleway through Filham Park.

Pictured on the front are a successful group of primary-age poets.

Inside there is the latest news from South Brent’s polar explorer Antony Jinman, two separate meetings on future development in the South Hams, and a report on some local police who got on their bikes.

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