Preparatory work is due to start in January to widen Bridge Road in Exeter, in an attempt to improve traffic flow in and out of the city.
Bridge Road is currently a traffic congestion hotspot, suffering from tailbacks which block the Countess Wear junction and its approach routes.
Devon County Council is planning to widen Bridge Road to provide two continuous outbound lanes from Countess Wear to the Matford roundabout in order to tackle queuing and reduce journey times for all traffic, while at the same time improving pedestrian and cycle facilities.

Exeter is an especially rewarding place for the study of the early modern house and its contents: not only does it preserve a splendid series of Elizabethan inventories, but excavation and study of historic buildings by archaeologists have accumulated a mass of physical evidence relating to this subject. John Allen, Exeter Cathedral Archaeologist and RAMM’s former Curator of Antiquities will illustrate how these different sources build up to a picture of the city’s Elizabethan homes. Tickets available above or from the Royal Albert Memorial Museum reception in person...

The Queen's bedchamber was once a private and a public space and it was her Ladies of the Bedchamber who were guardians of the truth as to the Queen's and thus the nation's wellbeing.
