0
By on Exmouth, News

A budget national fitness chain’s plans to turn Exmouth’s closed Carpetright store into a 24-hour gym have won the support of town councillors. Backing came with a call from one representative for traffic lights at the busy entrance of Liverton Business Park. The Gym, which operates 160 health centres around the country, has set its sights on the currently-vacant unit. Perhaps we should always take the opportunity when things crop up at Liverton park to push for traffic lights at the entrance – Cllr Brian Toye Its proposals for a change of use include installing a 3,000sq ft mezzanine level to nearly…

Concern over plan to turn ‘vulnerable’ Exmouth GP surgery with 4,000 patients into homes

0
By on Exmouth, News

Concern has been raised over a planning application to convert a ‘vulnerable’ GP practice with 4,000 patients in Brixington, Exmouth, into a pair of homes. Proposals for a change of use at Raleigh Surgery, in Pines Road, have been submitted to East Devon District Council (EDDC). The bid has been made with an eye on the future – should the heath hub’s only partner decide to one day retire. A nearby pharmacy has reacted by saying that, without the practice, it could in turn be forced to close – hitting the health and wellbeing of residents in the area.  I’d like to…

Veterans stood shoulder-to-shoulder with dignitaries, members of the armed services and the young, coming together at 11am to stand for a two-minute silence at The Strand war memorial, in honour of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice while fighting for their country.…

By on Exmouth, News

The fate of proposals for 10 apartments in The Avenues, Exmouth, is hanging in the balance after planning chiefs delayed their decision on the scheme.   Blueprints to demolish a detached house and garage at 28 Cranford Avenue and build the dwellings will now be the subject of a site visit. They had been recommended for approval by East Devon District Council (EDDC) officers. But Development Management Committee members deferred their decision at their October meeting and opted to visit the plot. I’m happy to see development on his site, but not this particular one – Cllr Nick HookwayA two-and-a-half-storey…
