Following a recent cliff fall at East Beach, a new sign warning of the dangers posed by cliff falls and rising tides has been installed by East Devon District Council on the emergency egress steps at Alma Bridge, by East Beach, in Sidmouth.
The new sign features a photograph of an actual cliff fall, taken in 2009 by Sidmouth resident Eve Mathews, as well as graphics showing a cliff fall and rising tides, together with a link to cliff safety information on the East Devon website.
The council wants to discourage members of the public from using the steps by Alma Bridge to...

Up to 59 per cent of ‘pre-hospital’ deaths from injury could potentially be prevented if more people stepped in with some simple first aid, according to new research commissioned by the British Red Cross and conducted by the University of Manchester. While 93 per cent will call for an ambulance if they find someone with an injury, first aid intervention of any kind was infrequent. Around half did not attempt any first aid while waiting for the emergency medical services to arrive*. The research, which has studied data from coroners’ offices, was last carried out 22 years ago by Prof...

Luke Cowan-Dickie led the way as Exeter Chiefs recorded their first Aviva Premiership victory of the season against visiting Harlequins.
Having suffered back-to-back defeats at the hands of Wasps and defending champions Saracens, Rob Baxter’s side rediscovered their winning formula at the third time of asking.
Cornishman Cowan-Dickie (pictured) was the main headliner grabber, claiming a hat-trick of tries and producing an outstanding display that watching England forwards coach, Neal Hatley, will have duly noted with plenty of interest.
Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale highlighted the positive aspects of his side's play, despite losing 2-0 to Plymouth Argyle.
The Devon derby at St James Park saw City go down to first half goals from Graham Carey and Paul-Arnold Garita, in match where the Grecians hit the post through Lee Holmes and Robbie Simpson saw a first half header fly just over the crossbar.
Despite City's best efforts through the likes of Holmes, who returned from injury, as well as the impressive Jack Stacey at right back, they weren't able to break a resolute Pilgrims defence.
