 <title>Local developer supports Newton Abbot BMX club</title>

 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field__items&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field__item odd&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/sites/default/files/field/image/Decoy%20BMX-3.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img typeof=&quot;foaf:Image&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/sites/default/files/styles/654x290/public/field/image/Decoy%20BMX-3.jpg?itok=fhqbUTCK&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--is-single field__items field__item&quot; property=&quot;content:encoded&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	A local housebuilder with a significant presence in Teignbridge has given its support to a BMX club in Newton Abbot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	Persimmon Homes South West handed over the £1,000 cheque to Decoy BMX at its track in Decoy Country Park last month, with funds going towards new equipment for its young members.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	Decoy BMX club is a non-profit, volunteer-run club, built in 1998. The track is open to everyone, no matter age or ability, with the club competing in regional contests but also riding just for fun, aided by British Cycling coaches. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	The five-star developer is bringing new homes to Newton Abbot at its nearby Langford Bridge site off Kingskerswell Road. The initial batch of 40 high-quality homes on the first phase of the development, Kings Meadow, will become available soon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	The development is zero-carbon ready, meaning homes are not powered by gas but ground-source heat pumps. They are also equipped with EV charging points and secure cycle storage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	The site, allocated in the local plan, helps meet Teignbridge District Council’s five-year housing land supply while addressing local housing needs, with eight properties being transferred to a local housing association.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	The scheme will also see the delivery of a new bus route to serve the development, and a financial contribution will be made to assist in setting up the additional bus service. It also provides public open space and delivers significant biodiversity enhancements, with bird boxes installed and bat roosts provided adjacent to the site.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	Persimmon has also demonstrated its commitment to the town elsewhere in Newton Abbot through its Community Champions scheme. Recent local recipients include Newton Abbot Museum, Dawlish Swimming Club, Newton Abbot College, and Buckland Athletic AFC.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;strong&gt;Commenting, Persimmon Homes South West Sales Director Stacey Harris, said:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	“Persimmon is proud to continue our commitment to Newton Abbot with another Community Champions donation to a local group, underscoring our dedication to leaving a positive and lasting legacy in the areas in which we build.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	“Decoy BMX&#039;s mission to provide a welcoming space for riders of all ages and abilities aligns perfectly with our values of inclusivity and community empowerment, and so we are very pleased to contribute to the club&#039;s efforts in providing new equipment for its young members, fostering a love for cycling and outdoor recreation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	“This partnership exemplifies our commitment to Newton Abbot&#039;s thriving community, complementing our ongoing efforts through the Community Champions scheme to support local initiatives and organisations.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;strong&gt;Lee Kirby, Chairman of Decoy BMX added:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	&quot;Decoy BMX want to express our thanks to Persimmon for their generous donation. This support comes at a crucial time as we strive to enhance the experience for our young members with new equipment, which is why we have invested in new helmets for our members.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	“Since our establishment in 1998, Decoy BMX has been a beacon of inclusivity, welcoming riders of all ages and abilities to our track in Decoy Country Park.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	“We know Persimmon are active in Newton Abbot and have donated to other organisations here, so we are delighted they considered us for their Community Champions scheme.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

 <title>Former BMX word champion tests out new pump track in Willand </title>
 <link>https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/news/local-news/former-bmx-word-champion-tests-out-new-pump-track-willand</link>
 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field__items&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field__item odd&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/sites/default/files/field/image/Anne%2C%20Barry%20and%20Jill%2C%20Kye%2C%20youngsters.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img typeof=&quot;foaf:Image&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/sites/default/files/styles/654x290/public/field/image/Anne%2C%20Barry%20and%20Jill%2C%20Kye%2C%20youngsters.jpg?itok=okolLW36&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; alt=&quot;Anne Hawkins, Barry Warren and Jill Moores with local youngsters and Kye Forte at the opening ceremony of the new pump track in Willand.&quot; title=&quot;Anne Hawkins, Barry Warren and Jill Moores with local youngsters and Kye Forte at the opening ceremony of the new pump track in Willand.&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--is-single field__items field__item&quot; property=&quot;content:encoded&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Former BMX world champion Kye Forte used his skills to test out a new pump track in Willand which was funded by contributions from housebuilder Bellway.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Devon-based rider, whose company Forte Trailscapes constructed the track, joined more than 40 local youngsters for the official opening of the new facility on Jubilee Field.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As part of the planning agreement for its Fox Mill Gardens development in Willand, Bellway is making contributions of more than £1 million to help improve local infrastructure and services. Willand Parish Council has used some of this money to replace the old BMX track.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new pump track was officially opened on Friday 8 September by Barry Warren, the chairman of Willand Parish Council, and Anne Hawkins, the headteacher of Willand School. Bellway sales advisor Jill Moores also attended the ceremony.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A pump track is a circuit of rollers, banked turns and features designed to be ridden completely by riders &quot;pumping&quot; - generating momentum by up and down body movements, instead of pedalling or pushing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Willand pump track, which is one of only a handful in Devon, was constructed by Forte Trailscapes, who have more than 20 years’ worth of experience in delivering specialised bike tracks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Willand Parish Council Chairman Barry Warren&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;said: “Willand is increasing in size and needs all the facilities it can acquire for the benefit of the expanding community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“The provision of this pump track has been five years in the making but it adds another dimension to the various play and fitness equipment within the Jubilee Field.  I thank all those who have worked with me to achieve this.  There is more to come.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tim Lund, Sales Director for Bellway South West, said: “It was fantastic to see so many local youngsters turn up on the official launch day to try out this brilliant new pump track.  They were all very excited to ride the track and also meet Kye Forte – a former BMX world champion and expert rider who helped design the track.

“The creation of this new pump track in Willand is an example of the wider benefits that new housing developments bring to an area. As well as delivering much-needed new homes, they also provide funding for facilities which benefit not only new residents but existing members of the community.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“The new pump track will give local children the opportunity to take part in a fun activity, socialise with friends and improve their fitness in a healthy outdoor environment.” &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bellway South West is building 125 new homes at Fox Mill Gardens, off Meadow Park, with the site featuring 81 houses for private sale and 44 affordable homes for local people through low-cost rent and shared ownership.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>BMX pro Matti to thrill Eden with jaw-dropping cycle stunts</title>
 <link>https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/news/entertainment-reviews/bmx-pro-matti-thrill-eden-jaw-dropping-cycle-stunts</link>
 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field__items&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field__item odd&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/sites/default/files/field/image/mattihemmings_medbiome.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img typeof=&quot;foaf:Image&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/sites/default/files/styles/654x290/public/field/image/mattihemmings_medbiome.jpg?itok=2CSYoK6L&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--is-single field__items field__item&quot; property=&quot;content:encoded&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tips, tricks and jaw-dropping stunts are set to wow visitors when the Eden Project hosts a special visit from professional BMXer and Guinness World Record holder Matti Hemmings as part of its Xtreme Eden weekend (January 20-21).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Bristol-based Matti has previously starred in Nickelodeon’s Fruit Shoot Get Your Skills On campaign as Matti Axel performing a style of riding called Flatland BMX, involving ‘don’t try this at home’ stunts which he will be performing at Eden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Matti said: “Flatland BMX is the break-dance of riding and it’s all about pushing the boundaries of what&#039;s possible on two wheels with perfect balance and fluidity. I’ll be putting on a display of ground tricks with all kinds of twists and spins at high speed.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Matti currently holds three Guinness World Records including Most Death Truck spins in under a minute. This involves balancing with just the rear wheel of his bike on the floor and spinning 360 degrees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He will be supported by a team of impressive beatboxers and break-dancers showing off their skills in a breath-taking and interactive display.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Dean Yhnell, a talented entertainer, singer and rapper, will be performing throughout the weekend under his alias Beat Technique.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Since 2010, he has forged a unique performance style at Glastonbury, the O2, Royal Ascot and Silverstone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dancer Roxane (Bgirl Zana) has performed all over the UK for leading brands including Adidas, Mercedes and ASOS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She has been a finalist in multiple dance battles and a winner of B supreme X2 in London, the UK’s first and only women’s hip-hop festival. More recently she represented the UK in the Outbreak Europe solo battle in Slovakia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marion Harrison, Eden Live Project Lead, said: “We are thrilled to be showcasing the amazing talents of Matti and the team at Xtreme Eden, a weekend of top-class BMXing, beatboxing and break-dancing.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	As well as stunning displays there will be drawing workshops encouraging people to design their very own extreme bike.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field__items&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field__item odd&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/sites/default/files/field/image/charlotte%20green.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img typeof=&quot;foaf:Image&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/sites/default/files/styles/654x290/public/field/image/charlotte%20green.jpg?itok=ZJofhlev&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--is-single field__items field__item&quot; property=&quot;content:encoded&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Local pro-cyclist Charlotte Green will open this year’s Sky Ride Plymouth event on Sunday 31 May.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Charlotte, a member of the Great Britain Cycling Team, will be joining thousands of people from across the region for the closed road cycling event, starting and finishing at Saltram.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	The 20-year-old from Cornwall joined the team’s Olympic Academy Programme in 2013 and has since had some promising results at world cup level. She recently gained fourth place at the opening round of the 2014 BMX Supercross World Cup in Manchester.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Looking ahead to Sky Ride Plymouth, she said: “I’m delighted to be coming along to Sky Ride Plymouth on 31 May. I’ve heard a lot about these amazing events but have yet to actually experience one myself, so I’m looking forward to seeing thousands of people on their bikes on the streets of Plymouth. See you there!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Plymouth City Council and British Cycling have organised a packed programme of activities for the day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Kicking off at 9.30am the eight-kilometre circular route will start outside Saltram House before heading off to the St Boniface Arena speedway track. The ride will then pass through Sainsbury’s before taking in the newly refurbished Laira Rail Bridge and returning to Saltram via The Ride.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Deputy Council Leader Peter Smith said: “Sky Ride Plymouth offers a great family day out, with loads to do both on and off a bike. There will be music and entertainment, competitions, extreme challenges and, above all, an awesome route suitable for cyclists of all ages and abilities.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Visit Tricks and Tunes at the speedway arena for some jaw-dropping, heart pumping extreme mountain bike shows and action-packed fun that will encourage kids and adults to push their boundaries and try something new. Take part in skills workshops and try out the popular Air Bag, or sit back and watch the professionals in action.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	There will also be fitness and cycle skills sessions courtesy of Total Rebuild Fitness and Go Cycle, as well as a range of outdoor games to enjoy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	After completing the ride, enjoy a gentle stroll around the National Trust’s stunning gardens at Saltram and meet the gardeners, who will tell you everything you need to know about planting seeds and home-growing. You can even plant your seeds with the gardeners then take them home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Don’t forget to drop in at the Hub and Market Place outside Saltram House to find out about Sky Ride Local guided ride programme, Breeze women’s rides and Ride Social cycling, as well as information on local clubs and shops in the city.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Devon County Show starts to take shape</title>
 <link>https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/news/local-news/devon-county-show-starts-take-shape</link>
 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field__items&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field__item odd&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/sites/default/files/field/image/austin_ollie_02%20%284%29%20copy.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img typeof=&quot;foaf:Image&quot; src=&quot;https://www.thedevondaily.co.uk/sites/default/files/styles/654x290/public/field/image/austin_ollie_02%20%284%29%20copy.jpg?itok=udODe5E2&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;Ollie Allen, Show Secretary of the Devon County Show, starts the massive job of marking out the 93 acre showground. Picture credit: Richard Austin&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--is-single field__items field__item&quot; property=&quot;content:encoded&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Preparation has started on the build for this year&#039;s Devon County Show on 16-18 May.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A team of eight contractors are making the showground home for the next month as they build marquees equivalent in size to approximately four football pitches.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Show Secretary Ollie Allen said the early days of the build were a testing time for the team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This is a really big task!” she said. “In marquee-building terms, it’s equivalent to scaling Mount Everest!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Each year, Danco, the marquee contractors, put in some new recruits with the more established staff members and within weeks, sometimes days, it is pretty obvious as to who, or how many, make the grade and stay on the team for the rest of the summer season.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The marquees will house more than 1,400 sheep, 300 alpacas and numerous bees, pigeons, poultry, rabbits and guinea pigs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trade space at the showground has sold out: “Bearing in mind the tough time our trade exhibitors have had over the last couple of years, we have done extremely well. We have managed to fill the showground and still the enquiries are coming in.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now in its 118th year, the County Show boasts livestock, food and drink, a flower and garden marquee, traditional crafts such as shoeing and metalwork and lots of family entertainment on the 93-acre site.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ollie added that the organisers hope to see more than 90,000 visitors at the event over the three days where there will be more than 7,000 animals, well over 400 volunteer stewards and practically non-stop entertainment in six Show arenas and rings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There will be hundreds of marquees accommodating passionate and committed people showcasing everything from mobile phones to Manitou telehandlers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Family favourite the Diggerland JCB Stunt Team are heading the bill in the Mole Valley Farmers Main Arena while alongside the Woodland feature, ‘Savage Skills’ the champion team of BMX riders will perform various stunts and offer coaching between performances.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the livestock section top breeders from around the country will be showing their South Devons and Dexters in two prestigious national cattle shows alongside the various other cattle breeds who have booked their beds!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Advance tickets offering savings are on sale now from the showground, tourist information centres and online. New this year are downloadable online tickets and an online cut off time of midnight on Wednesday, May 15.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once again up to three children (aged 5 to 15) get free admission on Saturday when accompanied by a paying adult and senior citizens are eligible for the buy-one-get-one-free offer on all three days of the Show as long as they buy their tickets in advance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click here to buy tickets online now for savings on gate prices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	The victim was pushing his BMX bike along Alexandra Road around 10.10pm on Wednesday 3 April when the robbery happened.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	He stopped for a few seconds near to the junction of Bernice Terrace and Lipson Vale Hill and was approached by a man who picked up the bike. He pulled out what appeared to be a penknife and threatened to stab the Plympton boy before riding off on the bike.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Police are now appealing for information about the incident and are seeking the suspect who is described as white, aged 18 to 19, 5ft 8ins tall and of skinny build. He was wearing a black top with a white hood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	They are also trying to trace the customized ‘WETHEPEOPLE’ men’s BMX bike, which has yellow wheels, a white seat and a red seat post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Anyone who has information about the incident or may have been offered the bike for sale is asked to call police on 101, quoting crime reference EC/13/3208, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.&lt;/p&gt;
