That’s why Patrick and I headed down to Sandy Park to watch the Exeter Chiefs play...

Improvements to Turks Head Junction in Honiton will get underway on Monday (9 November).
The current T-junction meets Exeter Road to connect the western end of Honiton to the A30 dual carriageway.
The scheme will change the existing layout to a mini roundabout, along with a zebra crossing on Exeter Road. The overall improvements will reduce traffic queues which can, at times, reach the A30 and create a safety problem.
The work will take 20 weeks, continuing until the end of March, but it is scheduled to be complete before the Easter holidays.
