This week we report that Sir David Attenborough has sent written encouragement for a campaign against single-use plastic developing in Salcombe.

In other news, a three-year-old boy has died after a head-on vehicle collision and young Salcombe Yacht Club sailors marked the end of the sailing season.

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.
