St Sidwell’s Point is the new name for Exeter’s landmark leisure complex and pool, situated in the new St Sidwell’s Quarter.
The name – currently a working title - comes from the adopted Saint of Exeter. Saint Sidwell was martyred in the 8th Century and a water well built where she died at the junction of York Road and Well Street, in front of what is today St Sidwell’s School. People came from miles around to bathe in her waters and water was channelled from the well to parts of Exeter using the Underground Passages

Will a possible Brexit, the slowdown in China, and a tumbling oil price have an impact on the deals market in the South West?
Recent research by Experian revealed that a total of 535 deals were completed in the region last year - an increase of 15.3 per cent on the previous 12 months. If the trend continues then the South West could expect to see even more deals completed in 2016.
John Panteli, a partner at Grant Thornton, believes that because of the strength and diversity of mid-market corporates in the South West we shouldn’t necessarily see the uncertainty surrounding...
Police are appealing for information following a burglary from a garage on Decoy Road on Thursday 10 March between 3am and 5am.

The three Motorcross bikes (pictured) were a red Honda 450, a yellow Suzuki 250 and a yellow/lime coloured Honda 250- this colour bike is particularly unusual as Honda 450’s are normally red.
Four pedal bikes were also taken; a white Scott Gambler, a blue and white Giant...
