This week we report on news that Ivybridge is hoping to become the first town in the region to be recognised as a Plastic Free Community.

We also report on a temporary solution to a village post office that has recently closed and the protests after 700 badgers were killed during an Autumn cull.

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.kingsbridge-today.co.uk/subscribe.cfm
