Teign Corinthian Yacht Club (TCYC), Teignbridge District Council and the Teign Estuary and Coastal Partnership have worked together to install a new defibrillator close to the quay side and slipway at Polly Steps, Teignmouth.
The proposal and main fund raising for the equipment came about through the TCYC following the sudden death of one of its members at this site.

Exeter could get a stunning new waterside feature.
Plans have been submitted to build a brand new bridge and boardwalk down on Exeter’s Quayside. The new structure would replace the existing Mallison Bridge which spans the medieval leats on the north bank of the River Exe. The bridge had to be repaired in March 2017 after some wooden sections became rotten. After work was carried out, it became apparent that a long-term solution was needed.
