THE staff at the Courier will be having a well-deserved break over Christmas, the office will be closed on Friday, December 23 and will re-open on Tuesday, January 3, 2017.

Some staff will be popping into the office to check the post, emails and answer phone, so you can leave any non-urgent messages with us.

The Crediton Courier will still be available from your usual outlets on December 30, so don’t forget to get your copy.

We would like to say a big thank you to all our readers and advertisers for supporting us though 2016

Have a very merry Christmas and a healthy and wealthy 2017, from Sean, Alan, Sue R, Sue H, Carol, Nora and Nick..
