This week we report that a village post office is to close two days after Christmas, after their last permanent bank closed a year ago.

We also report on news that Stowford School Choir have won a BBC Radio Devon competition to sing at Buckfastleigh Abbey.

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.

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
