Motorists considering a new car this year are being urged to act now to avoid higher Vehicle Excise Duty which is due to affect many new cars from April this year.

The advice comes from Hendy Group in Exeter which says that an alarming number of motorists visiting its dealerships are unaware of the impending changes to the road tax system.

“We operate 12 motor franchises at 25 locations and feedback from those visiting the showrooms is a good barometer of the car buying public,” said operations director Mark Busby. “We’re finding that awareness of the overhaul of the system...

As Chancellor Philip Hammond prepares to make his first full spring Budget statement Thomas Westcott Chartered Accountants is to hold a series of seminars to help business owners make sense of any new announcements.

City boss Paul Tisdale was forced to make two changes to the starting XI that drew with Notts County last time out. Goalkeeper Christy Pym was injured and replaced by Bobby Olejnik, while Jake Taylor...

Last Saturday the Midlanders caused something of a stir across the division when they inflicted a rare defeat on reigning champions Saracens – and Lees knows the Chiefs can ill afford to suffer a similar fate as they look to maintain their position within the top three.

Rob Baxter’s side continued their impressive run of Premiership form last time out by sharing out a 35-35 draw with table topping Wasps, who failed...

Rob Baxter says his Exeter Chiefs squad are ‘fully focused’ on the task ahead as they gear up for tomorrow’s Aviva Premiership trip to Worcester Warriors (3pm). Fresh from a hard fought draw against table-toppers Wasps last Sunday, the Chiefs will be looking to consolidate their top three position by inflicting yet another league defeat on their hosts, who themselves warmed up for this latest clash by downing reigning champions Saracens on their own turf last time out.
