Embarrassed BBC bosses appear to have ‘erased from history’ axed presenter Judi Spiers.

Just a month after she announced her last week on the station, two controversial Facebook postings seem to have been removed.

The first was a statement by BBC Radio Devon managing editor Mark Grinnell explaining his decision to drop the broadcasting star.

Another post, made by Judi and her team on the show’s last day, has also disappeared.

Observers believe it might be to do with the fact that both posts attracted more than 700, largely negative, comments.

It’s amazing how the gambling industry has evolved and embraced the internet as a way to get closer to gambling enthusiasts.

The biggest strain you have to endure is to sit in front of your computer or laptop, or just pick up your smartphone or tablet and off you go into the amazing and sometimes dreadful world of one of the oldest vices in the universe. It’s certainly a...

The people of Lapford turned up in their hundreds to welcome the new landlords of the Old Malt Scoop Inn when it re-opened for business.

The freehold of the historic pub has been acquired from Punch Taverns by Linda and Trevor Voaden and they have set about a comprehensive programme of renovation and refurbishment.

Once again we will welcome Premier League opposition to St James Park as part of our pre-season fixture programme – this time it is the top-tier’s newest members, AFC Bournemouth, who will provide the opposition.

The Cherries were visibly flourishing when they visited the Park in the Capital One Cup in the early stages of last season – that was just the beginning of a terrific campaign for the Dorset club, who eventually lifted the Sky Bet Championship title.

Their pre-season schedule is still in its earlier stages, with just a single fixture played so far compared to...

It’s a big thank you from East Devon District Council to the extraordinary local resident whose outstandingly generous financial donation has resulted in the installation today of a new bus shelter for Sidmouth.

Residents waiting to catch their bus at Sidmouth Triangle will no longer be at the mercy of the elements, as the brand spanking new shelter – kindly donated by this caring and community minded person – has now been installed by East Devon District Council in place of an earlier version, which was destroyed by vandals.

Budget cutbacks meant that the council had no...

Although police clearing rates (the rate at which police successfully solve rimes) was high in some areas, in Exeter the rate at which police solved bicycle crime was particularly low, with 86% of cases being closed without...
