A controversial budget making cuts of more than £28m to Devon County Council’s spending has been passed at a full council vote.
The budget outlines several significant cuts to the council’s services including the provision of day centres, residential children’s homes and the closure of youth clubs run by Devon’s youth service. At a meeting on Thursday, the Conservative-led council was widely criticised by opposition councillors for making spending cuts in these areas. The council has also confirmed that council tax will rise for the first time in four years by an average of £22 per...
The sensational new folk act CoCo and the Butterfields are gearing up to conquer the nation, in a story about little people achieving great big things. Featuring a totally unique blend of folk, pop and hip-hop they are a band unlike any other, and they have just announced their first official UK tour for Spring 2014.
From humble busking in every corner of the UK to selling out shows at 1,200 seater auditoriums, to say that CoCo and the Butterfields have come a 'long way' during their brief two years of existence would be an understatement.

Two Devon brothers have gone to Paris in search of love – but there’s a sting in the tail.
The two are venomous stingrays from Living Coasts, Torquay’s coastal zoo.
The boys – with the unpromising names of Spotty and Sheldon - have moved to an aquarium in the French capital located right next to the world-famous Eiffel Tower.
They travelled first class all the way. Clare Rugg, Living Coasts Operations Manager, explained: “We had to buy special equipment such as polystyrene fish transport boxes, heavy duty water bags and heat pads. A bag was filled with water from...
Ben Moon says it's vital Exeter Chiefs cut out the "silly mistakes" if they are to challenge as one of the leading lights in the Aviva Premiership this season.
The 24-year-old prop could not hide his disappointment after the Chiefs slipped to yet another narrow defeat when they went down 27-23 to rivals Bath at Sandy Park last Saturday.
