Join the club

Devon County Council has asked Carplus to look into the viability of car clubs for the Barnstaple and Newton Abbot areas. To us here in the People’s Republic who spend their spare time hanging around bus stops, it sounds like a spiffing idea (as long as there’s no errant Chicago CD left in the stereo)

On the trail

The Recycled Art In Landscape (as long as that landscape is the seafront between Dawlish and Teignmouth), that’s TRAIL to you, is set to move onto its next stage. That’s when the landscape in question becomes Tomorrow’s Teignmouth Information Centre and the Ice Factory.
