This week in the Ivybridge & South Brent Gazette, we lead on local MP, Dr Sarah Wollaston, resigning from her party because it has moved too far to the right.

Dr Wollaston on Wednesday, along with two other Conservative MPs, co-wrote a letter addressed to the Prime Minister stating the reasons they chose to leave.

Our picture story is of a group of South Hams runners who raced a steam autotrain on the South Devon Railway at the weekend.

Inside, we delve into what it takes to be a journalist, written by none other than our own chief reporter, Sam Acourt. No one day is ever the same!

We also report on the contentious road closure on the A379 at Frogmore, meaning a long detour round Stoke Fleming and Blackawton.

As always, we feature information about ’What’s On’, around the clubs, and ’Village Voices’ all inside.

Remember if you can’t get to the shops, or you have moved out of the area, you can get all South Hams Newspapers online here: http://www.southhams-today.co.uk/subscribe.cfm.
