In this week’s Ivybridge & South Brent Gazette, we lead on county and district councils that are under fire for using Ivybridge to meet housing targets but failing to improve infrastructure.

The front page photo shows Little Orchard Nursery and Preschool kiddies all dressed up for the South Brent Carnival, with more on "one of the most successful carnivals ever" inside.

Inside, we cover an environmental awareness project reminding local students of the impact of plastic pollution in our seas, plus a resident plea over a missing kissing gate.

As ever, there’s much, 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.
