-

 Kingsbridge and Salcombe fire crews were mobilised this morning to a hedge on fire on the Bantham road.

When they arrived on scene, close to the Bantham roundabout, they found a "small fire" in the hedge, caused by "fallen 11,000 volt overhead electrical cables".
 
The road was closed and livestock removed from nearby while Western Power Distribution isolated the power to the cables.

The crew are currently remaining on scene "until power has been isolated and the fire can be fully extinguished".

    Hedges catch fire but it depends on the quality of dryness of that material with the suitability of matter. The scorched hedge is here and the credit goes to the Devon and the Somerset fire and help with dissertation rescue services with the proper facility in nature.

A local environmental engineering company worked into the early hours to protect the road at Slapton Line as high winds and tides threatened to undermine it.  Landmarc working late into the night to protect Slapton Line - credit Cllr Julian Brazil Landmarc Environmental Engineering were called to inspect the middle car park on the line by South Hams District Council on Monday but they decided to check on it on Saturday and while they were doing that they spotted a gap between the road and the rock armour protecting it.  Marcus Evans, owner of Landmarc, said: "We're currently working at Beesands and we know how reactive that bit of coastline is.  "While we were driving back along the road, about 500m from Torcross, I saw that the protection had been eaten away to within two foot of the road. I called SHDC and told them they might lose the road tonight." I told them they might lose the road tonight But roads are under the umbrella of Devon County Council, not SHDC, so

Many people have been raving about Netflix's new period drama Bridgerton, but for one South Hams resident it was even more exciting.  Lucy (right) on screen in Bridgerton with Jonathan Bailey (left) as Anthony Bridgerton and Ruth Gemmell (centre) as Lady Violet Bridgerton This week I settled down to watch the new Netflix series, in pyjamas and too full of leftovers to move much, and then I spotted a familiar face.  Having written the reviews for KATS (Kingsbridge Amateur Theatrical Society) and Kingsbridge Community College productions, I had become familiar with Lucy Booker and it was her that I had spotted in the background of one of the biggest series of the year.  Lucy on stage with Anthony Chamberlain in KATS' production of Fiddler on the Roof Lucy, 20, lives in South Milton, and goes by her stage name of Lucy Anna Richardson. Knowing she wanted to be an actor since before she could walk, at one point she was performing in three local productions at once, with KATS, MAD (

Kingsbridge Police warned people to not use the tidal road in Aveton Gifford yesterday after a van ended up getting stuck. The van stuck on the tidal road - sent in Thank you to the person who sent us the photo, but wanted to stay anonymous. They said that the van had driven off the side of the road and was stuck in the estuary mud. Kingsbridge Police posted: "High tide is now. It'll start to go out shortly. That'll give the recovery company a helping hand to recover the vehicle from the tidal road at Aveton Gifford. Once the tide has gone out, it'll be blocked whilst the car gets recovered. Please use the main road." I can laugh because I've done it myself!
