This week we lead with news that the referendum over the Neighbourhood Plan in Ivybridge was held and participants voted to adopt the plan.

Also this week, more than 200 Santas took to the road to raise money for Children’s Hospice South West, a development in Holberton is given the go-ahead and Stowford Primary School teacher Laura Weatherall-Plane is remembered with a light display in Drovers Way, after she lost her battle with breast cancer in May.

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
