Devon County Council is supporting the third of Devon’s work hub projects which is opening in Cullompton on Friday 18th January.
The Hayridge Work Hub is hosting a ‘Jelly’ Event from 10am – 4pm to showcase the facilities on offer and give visitors the opportunity to meet the team, tour the building and meet other potential work hub users.
A jelly is an informal co-working event where home-based and mobile workers and small business owners can bring their laptop or papers to a venue to work, chat and collaborate with others.

The deterioration of the mudstone rock foundations beneath the western pier, which were exposed by the floods, were raised as a concern by the County Council's bridge engineers. The structure has been continually monitored and further investigations will be carried out during the closure...
East Devon District Council has been happy to report that the new town of Cranbrook in East Devon was unaffected by the recent bad weather and its drainage system has coped magnificently against unprecedented levels of rain.
This first major test of the new community drainage system has proven that local concerns about flooding were unfounded, but as Cllr Andrew Moulding, Portfolio Holder for Strategic Development and Partnerships explains, this was no surprise to East Devon District Council:
“The only thing Cranbrook’s been flooded with is unfounded rumours. We did not...

Concrete blockwork protecting the foreshore of the River Exe around the Imperial Recreation Ground is to be replaced in an £800,000 improvement scheme scheduled to start this month and extend into late spring.

With RockSolidRace’s inaugural event only two months away, obstacle racing is becoming the hot topic of conversation. The event, being held on 16th March, offers a challenge like no other seen in the South West.
We’re talking about the choice of a 5k or 10k obstacle course that includes scaling 8 ft walls, crawling through mud under barbed wire and plenty of water based obstacles - it’s certainly not a course for the faint-hearted! That, however, doesn’t seem to be putting people off as they’re signing up in their droves.
Demand for the event has already surpassed initial...
