The expanding cycle network in Exeter received another lift at the weekend, with the installation of a new pedestrian and cycle bridge.
The new bridge at Summer Lane completes the first two kilometres of Devon County Council's E4 cycle route - providing a vital connection between Exeter Arena/Exhibition Fields and Bettysmead Playing Fields.
It establishes a direct link which will shorten the route and will remove sharp deviations in direction, narrow shared paths, and the necessity to use a Toucan crossing on Summer Lane.
In the last few hours, fire crews have been called to put out a motorcycle fire in Whipton, Exeter.
The incident, which occurred at Summer Lane on Saturday evening, involved one vehicle being severely damaged in what is believed to be a deliberate attack.
One fire engine from Middlemoor station was sent out, and the crew extinguished flames using buckets of water. No injuries have been reported.
