The authority’s gritters will be out on most of Devon’s main gritting routes from around midnight tonight as freezing conditions are expected from around 5am-9am.
Road surface temperatures are due to drop to around -1.4C, and with a lot of surface water still on parts of the road network, conditions may be icy. Untreated surfaces could be hazardous.
Councillor Stuart Hughes, Devon County Council Cabinet Member for Highway Management, said: “We want to make...
South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) is urging people only to call 999 this Christmas if someone is seriously ill or injured, or their life is at risk.
Demand for the ambulance service is likely to peak over the next two weeks when staff are expecting to respond to more than 3,000 calls a day.
Paramedics and Control Room staff warn that unnecessary calls over the festive period could delay responses to those patients most in need of emergency help.
The Trust has launched its ‘12 Days of Christmas’ campaign, encouraging people to use the...
For many years, parents have repeatedly been faced with the question of how best to bring up their children so that they become independent, critical, self-confident and self-conscious people. Nowadays, the aspect of sustainability is becoming increasingly important, especially for environmentally conscious parents. On the one hand, the upbringing style itself should be sustainable, that is, one that offers the child a constant basis on which it can build a healthy personality. On the other hand, sustainability as a value of one's own life, which includes a conscious use of the environment...

Improved cardiovascular health
A study in 2016 suggested that red wine could reduce a person’s chances of developing cardiovascular disease. Its specific action isn't yet understood, but scientists believe that it has something to do with the way red wine affects the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome is the totality of...
Animals at Paignton Zoo will be getting their own festive dinners this Christmas – but you may not find them quite as appetising as your own…
So what’s on the menu? Well, the big cats could get a whole turkey, complete with feathers and entrails. Curator of Mammals Lisa Britton said: “It’s all good roughage, the bones, everything. It’s the sort of carcass they’d be eating in the wild.”
Ferocious carnivores tearing into meat may or may not remind you of your own Christmas lunch.
Meanwhile, Alfie Junior the Southern cassowary has a Christmas dinner, too – including...
New evidence potentially left by Dartmoor’s earliest farming communities 5,500 years ago has been uncovered by archaeologists at two of the moor's most enigmatic sites. A series of previously unknown features including postholes and circular structures have been discovered at the tor enclosure sites of White Tor and Dewerstone. One of the most exciting discoveries at Dewerstone (pictured) is the recovery of charcoal suitable for radiocarbon dating. Results are awaited but, if proved, could conclusively show people occupied these sites in the early Neolithic period - around 3,500BC....
CARERS working for a homecare provider in south Devon are helping prevent the county’s elderly from starving (December 2019).
Guardian Homecare says there is a common misconception that people naturally lose weight as they get older.
Catherine Porter, Manager for the care provider, which operates in the Exeter area, says: “Malnutrition is more likely to occur as a result of an illness, loneliness and loss of mobility. It can be exacerbated due to local shop closures, cuts to meals on wheels services or lunch clubs, as well as poor health, immobility and even bereavement....
