This week we lead on the news that the proposal to join South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council was rejected, despite South Hams Councillors voting in favour of the merger.

Additionally, we report on the annual Poppy Appeal led by the Modbury RBL and the Museums at Night treasure hunt at The Cookworthy Museum.

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
