This week we lead on calls across the South Hams to address the scourge of plastic pollution and encourage recycling.

Also on the front page is a picture of a ceremony held at Ivybridge’s American War Memorial with visitors from the USA and France, commemmorating one town’s huge sacrifice during the D Day operations.

Inside there’s more on that poignant ceremony. We also take a look at a unique project from Ivybridge Town Council that has won funding, to provide housing for those with learning disabilities.

There is also further news from the recent Sparkwell Parish Council meeting, pictures from South Brent Wood Fair, and the latest on last week’s shocking knifepoint robbery at a local shop.
