Villages in Devon are being ‘left behind’ by bad bus services, according to one local MP. Buses are a social lifeline for older people, according to South Devon Liberal Democrat MP Caroline Voaden, but the number of bus journeys in Devon has fallen by 40 per cent in the last 10 years. “Many communities have been left behind by unreliable, infrequent or inadequate bus services,” she said.

A meeting of the city council next week (9 June) will hear a motion from Green councillors calling for money raised by selling greenfield sites to be used to buy more.

4 days ago | radioexe.co.uk | Guy Henderson

The noisiest protest heard in Torquay town centre for years greeted councillors arriving to make a decision on crucial services to deaf children. Whistles blew, drums beat and passing drivers blew their car horns as members of a Torbay Council scrutiny board arrived at the Town Hall to debate the future of two specialist units at Torquay schools. Parents urged them to think again over the plan to shut the units at St Margaret’s Primary School and the Spires Academy.
£200,000 cash boost for community projects in Brixham and Paignton

5 days ago | radioexe.co.uk | Guy Henderson

Some of Torbay’s most deprived areas stand to benefit from a £200,000 council cash injection. The money will be spent on projects in Paignton and Brixham, as Torquay already has significant government money in the bank. Torbay Council’s cabinet committee is likely to give the plan the go-ahead when it meets next Monday. The ‘Community Grant Fund’ of council money was launched during budget consultations in the winter.
Controversial heart attack patient 'trial' decision deferred

1 week ago | radioexe.co.uk | Guy Henderson

Health chiefs have put a controversial trial on the care of South Devon heart attack patients on hold. The ‘test and learn’ trial which local politicians said could put lives at risk was pulled from the agenda of a Devon Integrated Care Board (ICB) meeting today. Chairman Kevin Orford told the meeting that deferring a decision would give the board time to consider the ‘valuable feedback’ the proposal had created.

Proposal to convert ornate bank building in South Molton

1 week ago | radioexe.co.uk | Alison Stephenson

A prominent former bank building in South Molton could be converted into flats and a retail unit. Constructed in 1832, the buiding in East Street was a Lloyds branch until it shut two years ago, leaving the town with no permanent banking facilities. Now developers want to create two flats, retain and refurbish an existing apartment and provide a retail unit on the ground floor of the Georgian building which has period features such as stained glass windows, stone pilasters and reliefs.
‘Think again’ call over Devon heart attack care

1 week ago | radioexe.co.uk | Guy Henderson

A decision will be made later this week on a trial which could shape the future of care for heart attack patients across South Devon. Politicians from across the spectrum are urging health chiefs to think again over the plan which could see patients driven to Exeter rather than to Torbay Hospital for treatment. They say the extra time taken to get people from locations as far away as the most southerly tip of the county in the South Hams could put lives at risk.
