Due to its overwhelming success, RGB Building Supplies is delighted to be relaunching its Community Fund for a third year, but this time the local community will be given the opportunity to decide who receives £1,000 worth of building materials.
Having made donations to a youth group, animal welfare centre, charity that supports the homeless, a martial arts centre and an outdoor project in the last year alone, RGB is asking for different deserving groups to get in contact and explain how a donation of building materials would help.
Exeter Greens have accused Exeter City Council of pruning tree staff to the bare minimum and say that a lack of investment is leaving communities in the dark about when and why trees are being cut down.
Exeter Green Party has discovered that 150 trees have been cut down in conservation areas alone in the past year, with countless others lost across the city. Exeter’s tree cover stands at just over 22% and includes some rare, culturally and locally significant trees.
Joe Levy, Green Party Candidate in St Thomas, said: “Trees in Exeter are coming under severe pressure from...

During the current football season, the Feniton U15 squad has been sporting new kit sponsored by local family-run garden centre, Otter Nurseries – which may have given them a boost for their impressive performance.

Top scorers are Oscar Walsh and Sam Ayers who have scored more than 80 goals between them. Having just won their latest match against Brixington Blues, the team is now...
Over two fifths of people in the South West have confessed to being so unfit they would get out of breath running for the bus, according to new statistics released as part of the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) brand new fundraising challenge MyMarathon. The BHF poll revealed well over half (52%) of adults in the South West said if they went running now the furthest they could manage is just half a mile or less. One in five (20%) felt they could only make it to 100 metres. Of those who could manage to run a mile, a third of people (33%) said the last time they did was over 10 years ago....
Ruthless in it’s extreme, Exeter Chiefs fired an ominous warning shot to their Aviva Premiership rivals as they edged ever closer to a first-ever appearance in the end of season play-offs.
Rob Baxter’s produced arguably their best display in weeks to run in eight tries against in-form Worcester Warriors at Sandy Park.
The free-scoring Thomas Waldrom extended his lead at the top of the division’s try pile with his second treble of the season, while winger Olly Woodburn added three of his own alongside further scores from James Short and Ollie Atkins.
An Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman got trapped in a joke…
‘How do we get out?’ Said the Englishman.
‘Just stop telling it’ said the Irishman.
‘But we’re too far in!’ said the Scotsman.
All three checked their phones for reception.
The Joke is a new play from comedy award winner Will Adamsdale – and company – exploring jokes and why we tell them, countries and why we need (and despair of) them, and life and why we bother. And tic tacs.
A woman takes to the stage. A man watches from the wings. They both wonder if their love will survive what’s about to happen.
Tonight I’m Gonna Be The New Me is an arresting physical endurance act that crashes headfirst into an impossibly true love story – and out the other side. It exposes how we perform our relationships amidst a reality that just won’t live up to what the movies promised.
Disarmingly honest and comically imagined, Tonight I’m Gonna Be The New Me pierces the bloody heart of our obsession with outlasting hardship. Intimate and startlingly immediate, it...
