A private dental centre in Exeter is hoping to fill a cavity by recruiting a new dentist to join the growing team.
The Exeter Dental Centre, situated on Castle Street in the city centre, will be welcoming a new dentist this month, following a huge investment and considerable expansion. The last six months have seen the centre grow to seven surgeries and a skin treatment suite, over six floors, after taking over the former Michael Spiers Jewellers retail space on the ground floor.
This is the second large investment in the practice since its launch as The Exeter Dental...

Stagecoach South West today launched a new fleet of buses for its busiest Exeter Park & Ride route.
Staff were ready and waiting to greet commuters with a fresh chocolate chip cookie on what is, for many, the first day back to work after the Christmas break.
Commuters could then relax and travel in style on the four brand new buses, an £800,000 investment in the service. All feature free Wi-Fi, allowing customers to connect, share and play on the move. The Red Park and Ride route runs from Honiton Road to the city centre up to every 12 minutes, 7 days a week.

The study by housing and homelessness charity Shelter and YouGov shows the strain people in the South West face this January, with one in eight rent or mortgage payers fearing they will be unable to meet their housing costs this month.
This is despite the fact that many have already cut...
