This week we lead on news that residents are fighting for a neighbourhood plan a town council has thrown out.

Dartmouth Town Council voted to abandon Dartmouth’s Neighbourhood Plan in November but residents pleaded with the council to reconsider the decision at the full council meeting this week.

We have also covered the recent Candlelit festival held in Dartmouth last weekend and the collapse of the Dartmouth and District Chamber of Trade.

As always there is much, much more inside!

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.southhams-today.co.uk/subscribe.cfm
