This week South Brent gets number one spot, with the shock front page news from carnival organisers that 2017 could mark the end of the two popular annual events.

Our front page picture shows Ivybridge firefighters in action during the weekend’s charity car wash.

Inside there is news of Monday’s police manhunt that saw a helicopter circling above homes and rumours of an armed convict on the loose.

We also have a report on Saturday’s Primrose Festival in Ivybridge.

All this and much more in this week’s Ivybridge & South Brent Gazette, in shops on Friday.
