This week we lead on a planning decision that means residents of one South Hams village can breathe a sigh of relief.

Also making the front page is police Sergeant Andy Woodward, newly in post in charge of Ivybridge and a large part of the South Hams.

Inside we have a full round up and pictures of events from across the area, plus the week’s news.

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.
