Cranbrook is local and happy says survey

The annual survey results reveal that East Devon’s new community of Cranbrook has continued to remain happy overall during the past 12 months.

Results from the fourth survey of this kind show that the community spirit and friendly people continue to make Cranbrook special and people are moving from Exeter, East Devon and the wider county to make the new town their home.

During the winter residents responded to questions in the annual Cranbrook Community Questionnaire, devised by East Devon District Council with input from a range of organisations involved in the growing...

Exeter Chiefs 38 Bristol Rugby 34

As the usual runners and riders position themselves for the final furlong, Exeter Chiefs have safely overcome their first seasonal hurdle by booking their place in the Aviva Premiership’s end of season play-offs.

On Grand National Day, Rob Baxter’s side notched up win number 12 of the campaign, but not before being given an almighty fright by basement battlers Bristol, who threatened to pull off a shock success in this entertaining local derby.

Thankfully, the Chiefs had too much in the tank for their near neighbours, sealing victory with a Thomas Waldrom double and further...

#2 minute litter pick returns to Dartmoor

Dartmoor Rangers Ella Briens and Andrea Roberts are bringing the Dartmoor version of the successful global litter campaign #2 minute beach clean to the National Park again this year.

Bude resident, Martin Dorey, started #2 minute beach clean after becoming frustrated by the amount of litter on our beautiful south west beaches. His aim was to encourage visitors and locals to take pride in their surroundings, raise awareness of the litter problem and to be proactive in dealing with the detritus.

The solution was a very simple idea - place large A frame boards, with...

New Residence Nil Rate Band (RNRB) introduced

Since the Residence Nil Rate Band (RNRB) was announced in 2015 it has been the topic of much discussion.

The new band came into force on 6th April 2017 and now that it is finally here tomorrow, it is time to ask what this new tax break means for you.

The RNRB has been described as increasing the amount that individuals can pass inheritance tax free from £325,000 to £500,000, however, that is not quite true.

Currently everyone can pass £325,000 to anyone they like. This current ordinary nil rate band can be set against any asset.

The RNRB is different. It is...
