In this week’s Ivybridge & South Brent Gazette, we lead with a story about a man who tirelessly battled for two-and-a-half years to have double yellow lines implemented outside a busy South Hams care home.

The picture story shows one of seven primary schools from the South Devon Primary Partnership collaborating on a ’Big Blue Planet’ project to learn about the dangerous impact of plastic and other litter and what it is doing to our natural environment.

Inside we have a story about two sisters, one of whom was recently diagnosed with MS, participating in the popular Neon Night Walk in memory of their beloved Pappy. As well, we have details about a fire that destroyed four acres of crops in Yealmpton.

As always, there is much, much more news inside.
