This week we lead on news that a six-year-old fighting a brain tumour has inspired entry to the London Marathon in aid of Leah’s Fairy Fund.

Also this week we have stories on Yealmpton’s waste team have won a Recycle Devon Thank You Award, Hannahs are looking for people to run the Plymouth half marathon on their behalf and a fire broke out in Yealmpton, killing pet snakes, plus much more inside.

As usual there is also the family announcements, public notices, letters to the editor, Village Voice pages, clubs and societies and what’s on, plus much more inside.
