Devon and Cornwall PCC Tony Hogg has responded to a suggestion from Dorset Commissioner Martyn Underhill that police forces should consider sponsorship deals to boost resources. The idea has been put forward for discussion at the next regional PCC meeting at the end of May.
Tony Hogg says: “Martyn Underhill’s idea is an interesting one, and one that we will be discussing at the next regional PCC meeting at the end of this month (May).

A revolution is brewing on the Exeter music scene which is set to erupt later this month with the city’s first ever Steampunk Extravaganza. Steampunk encompasses music, art, fiction and fashion. It is the Victorian conservatism of tweed and lace corrupted by gothic and punk influences.
The music is an equally eclectic blend, according to Miss Pinksi, singer with the Mysterious Freakshow, one of the many acts appearing at the event at the Phoenix Centre on 17 May. But, she said, it is a growing phenomenon: “Steampunk has been around since the 70s or 80s but it’s a fairly new thing...
