In this week’s Dartmouth Chronicle, we lead on a story about two well-known local men who tragically died just before Christmas.

We include tributes to both men.

The picture story is of RNLI volunteer Mark Strudwick, who has been honoured in recognition for his service to the organisation.

Inside we have a follow up story after more plastic Otrivin bottles have been washing up on our beaches. We speak to Professor Richard Thompson, who is one of the world’s leading experts in marine pollution and the first person to coin the term ’microplastics’.

As always, we feature information about ’What’s On’, around the clubs, and ’Village Voices’ all 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: www.southhams-today.co.uk/subscribe.cfm.
