Natural England and Devon County Council’s ecologist raised no objections to the plans, subject to the environmental impact being offset by the creation and management of new habitats elsewhere. The scheme will encourage traffic off rural roads. Traffic currently uses rural roads to avoid the level crossing. This will remove the safety hazard posed by the present level crossing. The supermarket would have parking for 137 vehicles, including nine disabled spaces, nine parent and child spaces and two for electric car charging. The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland).

Torbay councillors are being advised to approve controversial plans for a new Lidl supermarket on the outskirts of Paignton. Reviewing the novel in The Canberra Times Susan Fuller is full of praise: "There are few children's writers who steel themselves to bring reality, with all its overtones of pain, injustice and frustration, into their stories. Fantasy and even horror, yes, but they seem to find cold, stark real life too strong a meat for their tender readers. Ivan Southall is not of this school... Ash Road is a frightening story of bush fire run riot, and Mr Southall does not pull any punches. The fear and tension is real as the dry brittle forests sigh under the weight of a hot north wind, waiting for that tiny spark to burst into inferno."

It's also fascinating in how Southall uses the fire as a coming of age device for his characters. There are some who have dated a little bit, as is often with a text of this nature, but there are others which feel so fresh that I was desperate to find out what happened to them. The grandfather, in particular, and the well - I won't spoil it, but lord I found that a powerful moment.Ash Road is a book that I genuinely hadn't heard of, but as I'm trying to diversify into reading a lot more overseas children's literature, I was pleased to accept a review copy of it - Text Classics. It's a book that will, particularly for an audience who may not have any idea of the impact and terror of a bush fire, open many eyes and also act as a starter for many cross-curriculum topics. I could see passages of this being studied alongside discussions of climate and ecology - there's a lot in it that could be used. The store and two smaller stores would be built on an area to the west of Kings Ash Road that is currently vacant and would involve the creation of a new junction.
