This week we lead with a story from Dartmouth Town Council’s meeting, where, during time allocated for public questions, former mayor Cllr Richard Cooke came under fire from Dawn Shepherd of Dartmouth Community Chest over allegations he had made in an email to the Chronicle.

Our picture story shows a music therapy lesson at St John’s Primary School in Dartmouth.

Inside, we have news from the Scouts, who have received a generous donation from Sainsbury’s, plus complaints about the current state of Dartmouth’s Royal Avenue Gardens.

As ever, there’s much, much more news inside.

Remember if you can’t get to the shops, or you have moved out of the area, you can get all South Hams Newspapers online here: http://www.southhams-today.co.uk/subscribe.cfm.
