The National Trust has not said how much it will cost to reinstate a fence which has been at the centre of a row about orchids in Devon.

In an email seen by the BBC, local trust general manager David Ford confirmed a new fence wold be installed "to facilitate an annual hay cut and cattle grazing and avoid any accidental trampling by walkers". He added that the work would be carried out "as soon as practical".

Twenty-seven-year-old Rupert Thompson was arrested after his best friend, Ryan Morrish (pictured), tried to frame him for the crime. Morrish was eventually jailed after admitting drink-driving when he hit killed Calvin Trevena and Annie Varran, near St Agnes.

Trade unionists have stepped up action against changes to labour laws which have seen ports and a nuclear submarine base blockaded and a widespread shortage of fuel.

Camel Fish, based in Rock, exports shellfish to Europe via the Plymouth to Roscoff route. Paul Blewitt, who runs the firm, said: "Everything is a bit of a nightmare because our Spanish customers are afraid to go through France because of the blockades, so they've been using Santander to Plymouth and Bilbao to Portsmouth, but there are only so many trucks they can get on each ferry."

The body of a teenager, who was found dead at a school in Cornwall, was formally identified in hospital by her father on the day she was found, an inquest has been told.

A Devon woman has spent the past ten months working with child refugees in Calais to help them compile the paperwork they need to move to the UK, after the government promised to identify and offer sanctuary to vulnerable children.

Liz Clegg is worried about their future and said: "If I rang up social services and said "I am concerned this child is going to die tonight" - and told them about what they were doing - they would act immediately, not in two or three months time."

The immigration minister James Brokenshire said: "Everyone wants this to happen as quickly as possible, but we must ensure it's in the best interests of the children."

A GP surgery in Redruth, which has 4,300 patients, has been placed under special measures by the Care Quality Commission. 

The Clinton Road Surgery in Redruth has been rated inadequate for safety and leadership and could face closure if it doesn't improve over the next six months.

NHS England and NHS Kernow say they're working closely with the practice to help it turn things around. Dr Debbie Bugg from the surgery said: "While we are disappointed by the overall outcome of the CQC inspection, we welcome the feedback and are addressing areas that need improvement."

A man who carried out a 15-year campaign of harassment against his neighbours has been given a restraining order at Torquay Magistrates Court. 

Wayne Howard from Paignton was warned he faces up to five years in jail if he breaches the order.

Mr Howard was accused of repeatedly filming his neighbours, creating videos and posting them online claiming they were harassing him.

A Devon hospital health trust has one of the highest figures in England for failing to discharge patients quickly enough, according to new figures.

Wide variations between different NHS trusts were revealed in a report by the National Audit Office (NAO). The Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital saw about seven days of "delayed transfer of care" for every 100 beds in 2015-16. 

Bed-blocking occurs when a patient is deemed medically well enough to be released from hospital, but something else delays their discharge. One common reason is waiting for a nursing home place or home care. The Department of Health said the issue would be tackled as councils got £3.5bn more for adult care by 2020.

New beavers have been released into the River Otter to join England's to increase the genetic pool of England's only wild beaver family.

DNA analysis showed the wild beavers, first spotted in 2014 after centuries of extinction in England, were "quite closely related", Steve Hussey from the Devon Wildlife Trust said.

Mr Hussey said finding the right beavers, which included "making sure that they're captive UK bred UK animals" to reduce risks of disease, had taken "quite a lot of time".

The award follows a central government pledge of £2m announced during George Osborne's recent budget speech. But that still leaves the venue's bosses about £10m short of the estimated total £17.5m.

Hall chairwoman Sue Wolstenholme said she was confident the venue would be able to raise the rest. She said: "We've got quite a bit coming from Europe, Cornwall Council are being enormously supportive, the Heritage Lottery Fund are looking to our importance as a piece of Cornwall's heritage, so it is being considered by them for lottery money."
