A consultation will be held next week on Devon County Council’s plans to improve Exeter’s cycle network. With some major housing and employment developments underway and others proposed to the east and south of the city, the County Council is planning to improve cycling infrastructure and it wants to hear people’s views on its proposals. The proposed routes, linking Cranbrook to the city centre and University of Exeter, as well as connecting Newcourt to the city centre, aim to make cycle trips for leisure cyclists and commuters safer, quicker and more appealing.

Exeter will soon be home to the county’s first ever permanent recovery café.
A fund-raising drive is being held to fund the café, which will provide a much-needed community hub for people who have experienced issues with drugs or alcohol and their families.

As part of the fund-raising drive, a Fun in the Sun fete is taking place on July 11th between 12pm and 3pm at the Exeter service in Uplands Business Centre, Heavitree Road....
Doesn't it drive you mad when you repeatedly answer cold callers.
How do they get your number? It's baffling.
We are x-directory, but everytime we have moved house, the calls seem to come think and fast and continue for years!
Who is selling the phone numbers? Is it the estate agents? The removal company? The utility suppliers? It seems that the Data Protection Act is not worth the paper it's written on. I've just answered another call on my house phone from an 0208 London number.
"Hello, my name is Senil, how are you today Mrs E...
Knightshayes is hosting its third annual celebration of local food and music in the parkland on every Sunday during August. These are free events for the whole family.
Soupstock was started in 2013 as a way to help new audiences discover Knightshayes. The aim was to put together an event to complement the local food served in the café, much of which is sourced from Knightshayes’ kitchen garden. The rolling Devon hills and the gothic stables block form the backdrop to this popular event.
Last year’s line-up included some great music from local bands followed by some top...

Pedal power comes to Exmouth later this month as static outdoor dynamo bikes – which can generate enough power to charge up mobile phones - are installed near the seafront.
Exmouth Town Council, East Devon District Council and a local resident have worked together to bring the unique £30,000 exercise bicycles, complete with a shelter, to the town. Not only will the bikes help keep people fit, they will generate electricity too with small lights showing how much power your hard pedalling has produced.
The bicycles, which are being installed in the sunken gardens next to The...

Shops could be allowed to open for longer on Sundays under radical plans to devolve powers over trading hours to major towns and cities to be unveiled in tomorrow’s summer Budget.
In the biggest shake-up of Sunday trading laws since the 1990s, Chancellor George Osborne wants to allow mayors and councils to determine for themselves what the rules should be in their areas.
The existing law prevents larger stores from opening for more than six hours. It was relaxed as an exception during the 2012 Olympics, resulting in a significant surge in sales.
