• RNLI tops its target

  THANKS to the hard work of our many friends and supporters, the Devizes Branch of the RNLI has at last surpassed the £5,000 target it has been trying to reach for some years. read more

• Health threat bigger than any Party

  THE battle to save health services in Devizes is political but in no way, shape or form should it be party political. read more

  WE were pleased to learn of the U-turn by the county and district councils regarding the need for a traffic study in Devizes, and particularly London Road. read more
