In this week’s Ivybridge & South Brent Gazette, we lead on a story about Prime Minister Theresa May calling on Conservative Party activists not to deselect MPs over differences on Brexit.

This comment came just days after a petition calling for Dr Sarah Wollaston’s deselection was passed to constituency branch chairman on Monday afternoon last week.

We also have district and county councillors’ reactions to Dr Wollaston’s resignation inside.

Our picture story is of Ivybridge Theatre Company’s half-term pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk. Read the review in tomorrow’s paper.

Also inside is the latest update on Serrita Hill’s battle with Premier Parking Solutions, and the opportunity to come forward on Saturday for anyone who has also been affected by the private parking company.

We also have a story about a large gorse and grass fire between Smallhanger and Hemerdon where fire crews attended from all over the South Hams, including Ivybridge.

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.
