The plans don’t stop there though. Exeter, which is home to the first bricks and mortar...

As Exeter Chiefs chase a fourth successive appearance in the Anglo-Welsh Cup final, skills coach Ricky Pellow insists lessons have been learnt from past experiences within the competition.
Despite reaching the past three finals, the Chiefs have lifted the trophy just once, that was back in 2014 against Northampton Saints, and have since narrowly lost to Saracens and Leicester Tigers in the subsequent years.
It’s a statistic Pellow and his players are keen to balance up this year, but overcoming visiting Newcastle Falcons on Sunday at Sandy Park (1pm) will be no easy task...
With the number of reported domestic abuse incidents in Devon continuing to rise, a new initiative aims to tackle the shortage of emergency accommodation for people forced to flee their homes because of violence, or the threat of violence.
Under the Safe Haven scheme, they would be offered temporary accommodation in a volunteer family’s home, using the same model as Exeter’s Nightstop scheme for young people at risk of having to sleep rough.
