We lead on Dartmouth mayor Cllr Richard Cooke’s support for Cllr Gina Coles whose comments about Woofstock UK caused controversy last week .

On the front page, we also report how the dog festival held on Coronation Park and its charity gala at the Flavel have raised more than £6,000 for charities.

Inside, we report on mould growing on panels in the recently renovated council chamber at the Guildhall; Dartmouth Rotary Club’s fete and duck race; plus much, much more.
