Councillors have backed a funding bid that could bring up to £2.4 million into the museum for important improvements.

The plans include replacing ageing heating and cooling systems and restoring the Roman Wall Bridge, which has been closed for around eight years.

If the bid is successful, it’ll help protect RAMM (Royal Albert Memorial Museum)’s collections, make the building more sustainable and reconnect visitors with an important piece of Exeter’s Roman history.

⚠️ A potentially serious fire was avoided in Exeter yesterday after a recycling crew spotted smoke coming from their lorry on Pinhoe Road.

The suspected cause was a lithium battery inside a printer cartridge that had been put in the recycling. Thankfully, the crew acted quickly and nobody was hurt.

🔋 Please remember: batteries, vapes and small electrical items should never go in your household recycling or rubbish bins. They can cause fires when crushed or damaged.
