  3. UKIP MEP for South West 'over the moon' with Brexit resultpublished at 08:08 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    UKIP MEP for South West William Dartmouth says he is "over the moon" with the Brexit result.

    "I also think it's actually great news for the South West and great news for Cornwall economically, we will in a couple of years time get our fishing industry back".

    Much of the South West, where fishermen and women have expressed anger over EU fishing quotas, has voted to leave the EU, including Cornwall where 57% of people have voted for Brexit.

  4. 'Uncertainty' for farmers following Brexitpublished at 08:02 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    Uncertainty is the key word now we have voted to leave the European Union, with the National Farmers’ Union saying it could take two years or more to negotiate our way out of the Common Agricultural Policy.

    It says South West farms have benefited on average to the tune of around £13,000 per year from our membership of the EU.

    Leaving may well allow younger more enterprising farmers an opportunity to take charge of their own futures and better compete in world markets. However,  there are many farmers who have become used to the subsidy system over decades and there are very few who remember what life was like before we joined the "Common Market".

  6. Cornwall councillor Fiona Ferguson 'bitterly disappointed' with vote to leave the EUpublished at 07:50 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    BBC Radio Cornwall

    Cornwall councillor and EU remain campaigner Fiona Ferguson has said she is "bitterly disappointed with the result", after Cornwall voted to leave the EU.

    Cornwall count

    "I don't know whether people do appreciate that we've had so much money out of Europe, I know it's not been spread among us all equally, but it does have to be focused on particular projects in order to try to start kick start the economy in Cornwall", she said.

    The Conservative councillor said guaranteeing the £500m Cornwall was due from the EU in the next few years would be one of "a long list of priorities" for the British government to look at.

  7. EU analysis: Not a surprise that Devon backed Brexitpublished at 07:43 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    Jenny Kumah, Devon Political Reporter

    It's not that surprising that Devon delivered a strong leave vote.

    During the campaign we heard the farming community was split with some unsure of the benefits of the Common Agricultural Policy and funding they get from Europe.

    Devon's fishing community voiced anger with quotas and rules from the EU. This could explain why the highest leave votes were in Torridge and Torbay - both areas have a significant fishing industry. 

    Only two areas in Devon voted for remain, Exeter and the South Hams. Exeter is used to bucking the trend in the region - the city returned the South West's only Labour MP in the general election last year. The South Hams forms part of Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston's Totnes constituency and she famously recently swapped sides to support remain.

  8. Cornwall Council seeks 'urgent' confirmation funding will continuepublished at 07:37 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    BBC News Online

    Cornwall has voted to leave the EU. Over the past 15 years the council has received £1bn worth of regeneration aid. 

    This morning Cornwall Council said: "Prior to the referendum we were reassured by the 'leave' campaign that a decision to leave the EU would not affect the EU funding which has already been allocated to Cornwall and that Cornwall would not be worse off in terms of the investment we receive. 

    "We are seeking urgent confirmation from ministers that this is the case." 

    John Pollard, the Leader of Cornwall Council said "We will be insisting that Cornwall receives investment equal to that provided by the EU programme which has averaged £60m per year over the last 10 years."

  9. Leave campaign secures 40,000 more votes than remain in Cornwallpublished at 07:30 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    BBC Radio Cornwall

    Cornwall has voted to leave the EU with around 183,000 votes to 140,000.

    Liz Lane, a constituency worker for Cornish MP George Eustice and a Vote Leave campaigner, said: "It is independence day, everyone got the chance to vote, everyone had a choice, the choice is to leave the EU and make Britain great again."

  10. Brexit analysis: 'Very sad day for Cornwall, England and the UK'published at 07:23 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    Chris Pomfret, former Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership chairman, and now chair of governors at Falmouth Uni said: “A monumental shock. 

    "A very sad day for people in Cornwall and England and the UK.  

    "We should have been voting on a secure and economically successful future for our children and grandchildren and we have voted on short term concerns about immigration. I’m worried there will be turmoil that could go on for years."

  12. Cornwall votes to leave: 'Money can't buy you love'published at 07:11 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    The people of Cornwall have voted to leave the EU - proof perhaps that money can't buy love.

    While Britain as a whole has paid to be part of the EU, Cornwall is in the unusual position of being a net beneficiary. 

    And that's to the tune of £1bn worth of regeneration aid over the past 15 years - and nearly £500 million more in the pipeline until 2020. 

    Despite the huge investment in projects like the Combined Universities in Penryn, the Eden Project and Cornwall Airport Newquay, along with Superfast broadband - many people simply do not think they have felt any benefit. 

    And some say the fact that Cornwall still qualifies for this extra funding is an indication it hasn't sparked the growth intended. 

    Remain campaigners have warned Cornwall has always fared badly from Westminster and are not confident of future support of the scale seen from the EU.  

    But with five out of six Cornish MP's backing Leave during this campaign perhaps this vote here isn't surprising.
