OPINION: Devon-grown melons highlight the need for more resilient food supplies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chances are that the sticker will indicate it was grown in Spain or Brazil. Yet the melons I saw last week were grown in Devon. I was at Martinsfield Farm near Broadclyst, for a tour organised by the National Farmers Union. Many local NFU members came along, as did several district and county councillors. Ed Rhodes, who farms there, planted melons outdoors in June – during this long, hot summer. It was a cheerful sight, but it set me thinking about who will feed us in this country when things go
COLUMN: Are we nearly there yet? (opens the original)

Any parent who has driven young children to the north Devon coast for a day on the beach will know the question. In our car, it usually came from the back seat before we'd even reached Tiverton. I heard a version of that same question repeated many times last year, in relation to the shape of the Government’s plan to reorganise our councils. To which the Government’s answer kept coming back: “no!”. You might recall that in July, Labour Ministers chose an option for Devon which favoured the citie

You know the sound that a leaflet makes coming through the letterbox? By the end of an election campaign, most people are sick of it. Somebody has to push it through, and in Devon that is often a rain-drenched volunteer, delivering a message that has been put together in an office near you. It is political party conference season.

OPINION: NHS dentistry in Devon is as rare as hensâ teeth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We all understand what dental pain does to a person. Itâs all-encompassing, and prevents us from thinking of much else. I would not wish severe tooth decay or an abscess on anybody. In Devon, that pain comes with another problem: a lack of access to NHS dentistry. No region of England has lost NHS dentistry faster than the South West. A county of small towns and thin bus timetables feels the loss of NHS dentists the most, because the next surgery is never around the corner. Axminster Dental Pr
OPINION: East Devon's railway is failing students and commuters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So do a good many parents, to jobs that have run on holiday hours since July. And so does Parliament – MPs are sitting again (since Tuesday). I spent the summer in village halls, from Axminster to Tipton St John. The issue of trains came up at almost every one of them. Since August 10, the stopping service between Exeter and London has run every other hour, because the clay beneath the track dried out and shrank for the second summer running. Axminster, Honiton and Feniton are all on that severe
