News of a projected rise in council tax makes our front page, together with a heart-warming story concerning children from The Special Needs Hotel, a Channel 5 TV programme.

Inside, we take a detailed look at what could be a ’make or break’ year for the town’s tourist information centre.

We also report from Torcross, where MP Sarah Wollaston met residents concerned about the village’s sea defences following last Friday’s road closure.

Plus, we have good news from the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, which has announced the Red Arrows will be returning this year.And, as usual, there’s much, much more.
