A developer has scrapped plans to replace a soon-to-be demolished glass Exeter city centre footbridge amid a development of hundreds of co-living flats on an empty shopping centre site. A massive new development in the centre of Exeter could go ahead without replacing an ‘iconic’ footbridge, writes local democracy reporter Guy Henderson. The original plans for the development of nearly 400 ‘co-living’ apartments on the site of the derelict Harlequin shopping centre included the replacement of the 1980s stained glass bridge across Paul Street with a newer version. But now the developers have come back to Exeter City Council seeking…

A landmark one-of-a-kind council house in Sidmouth has gone under the hammer four years after it was fully renovated using taxpayer cash. The Byes Toll House this month sold at auction for £100,000, after East Devon District Council (EDDC) said the Grade II listed building had ‘proven unsuitable for continued use as social housing’. EDDC said the decision to sell the historic toll house followed a review of its housing assets, saying it had a ‘responsibility to manage public resources carefully’. It said funds from the sale would be used to improve council homes, or in the development or purchase…
