A new free-to join tourism network has launched to help businesses share expertise, fight climate change and offer the best product or service to customers.
East Devon District Council awarded the contract for the new East Devon Tourism Network (EDTN) to East Devon Excellence, following a competitive tendering process.
The new network is a key part of the East Devon Tourism Strategy, with aspirations for East Devon to become the leading, year-round tourism destination in Devon.
Cllr Nick Hookway, East Devon District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Tourism,...
For local author and illustrator Samantha Williams, The Tribe Work Hub in Totnes has been a real-life fairy tale.
When she first went to the coworking space for female entrepreneurs, her intention was simply to finish the series of five books she had been working on. She has ended up achieving that and so much more.
Samantha started writing and illustrating several years ago while working in America. On her return to the UK, she began work on her initial set of books but had no idea what to do with them.
She said: “Although I had some books and ideas I didn’t...
Families struggling to afford to eat healthily and keep warm this winter are being reminded that support is available through a number of schemes being delivered by Devon County Council (DCC) and its partners.
The number of Devon households unable to access or afford the food that they need to ensure that they and their families stay healthy has increased by 70 per cent in 18 months according to the latest research.
And more than a third (36 per cent) say that they had planned on switching off their heating altogether this winter to help make ends meet.
Local people are being invited to share their views on 25 acres of land, acquired by East Devon District Council (EDDC), for a new nature-rich, accessible green space.
The new green space is an important milestone in the creation of the Clyst Valley Regional Park. A public consultation begins 6th February at 10am for six weeks until 20th March 2023 at 4pm , on draft proposals for habitat creation, a multi-use trail, network of circular paths and a small car park.

There’s never a dull moment for the trailblazing Tribe of environmental consultants at Tyler Grange Exeter.
As well as creating and honing innovation across their business for the four-day working week pilot , the Kings Wharf-based business has just launched two seasonal low-carbon and environmentally conscious beers – Bramble and Solstice.
The environmental planning firm has been busy brewing ale since 2017, and, in keeping with its very real and visible values, it’s committed to doing so with the smallest possible carbon impact.
Trading Standards is warning homeowners across Devon, Somerset, Plymouth, and Torbay to be wary of scammers who are trying to take advantage of concerns about ‘toxic mould’.
Heart of the South West Trading Standards says that there have been a number of instances of scammers attempting to dupe householders into handing over money for fake ‘toxic mould’ surveys.
There have also been reports of cold callers targeting residents and offering ‘free surveys’ of homes to check for signs of mould.
Mould can be extremely harmful, and scammers are trying to take advantage...
Late last year, a very rare bird to the UK turned up at Colyford Common, part of Seaton Wetlands.
For only the second time in recorded history, the isabelline wheatear has been seen in Devon. The first time it was ever seen on mainland Britain was on Lundy Island in October 2019 for a single day.
The isabelline wheatear is a thrush-sized bird, closely related to the northern wheatears which can be seen on Seaton Wetlands every spring and autumn. However, this wheatear should be on mountainous slopes between Turkey and the Gobi Desert, so it was a long way off course....
Trains won’t now stop at the forthcoming Marsh Barton station until the spring.
It had been hoped the ‘halt’, located alongside Exeter’s energy from waste plant, would open before the end of 2022, but Devon County Council says the project has faced “challenges” with building supplies and recent weather conditions.
While construction is now “substantially complete” on the £16 million scheme, it adds that standard ‘entry-to-service’ procedures will need to be completed before it can open to passengers. These will begin soon.
Like many of the longer stay residents in the care of Blue Cross Rehoming Centres, Bobby is a handsome, friendly chap. So, it is sad to see that the little rabbit has recently spent his second Christmas and New Year in an animal shelter.
Since finding himself homeless as a youngster, Bobby has at least found a soulmate in girlfriend Shadow.
Shadow is a beautiful three-year-old Rex with lovely long ears, and the two little black rabbits are hoping that it won’t be long before someone offers them a forever-home together.
A new sponsorship deal for Honiton Rugby Football Club for 2023 has been announced by Westcotts, the South West’s leading firm of Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers.
