This week we lead on the unanimous decision by Kingsbridge Town Council to object to the merger of South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council.

Also inside are stories about people trying to reduce the amount of plastic that makes it into the Kingsbridge and Salcombe Estuary, a man is jailed following historic sex offences, Salcombe Peninsula’s Community First Responders are given a new car, Kingsbridge churches have been targeted by thieves again and much, much more.

As usual there is also the family announcements, public notices, letters to the editor, Village Voice pages, clubs and societies and what’s on, plus much more inside.

Remember if you can’t get to the shops, or you have moved out of the area, you can get all South Hams Newspapers online here: http://www.kingsbridge-today.co.uk/subscribe.cfm
