The £15,000 prize was presented to London-born Orr by Woman's Hour's Dame Jenni Murray at a ceremony in London. Author and judge Kei Miller described Disappearances as "a near perfect example of how the short story works".

The story about guilt and identity was inspired by Orr watching a solitary man in a cafe while in Argentina. It tells the tale of a retired plastic surgeon who develops a relationship with a local waitress.

Cancer care in Torbay and South Devon is among the best in the country, according to an NHS survey published today.

The NHS England review said most areas were failing to meet targets for early diagnosis, for patients surviving at least a year, and for emergency referrals being treated within 62 days.

However, it highlighted South Devon and Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group as one of the nation's best performers. The rest of Devon was rated as "needs improvement".

Islanders on Scilly are angry they're having to pay hundreds of pounds to ship green waste on to the mainland. 

Until 2014, the island's waste was incinerated or landfilled in situ. But new emission rules have closed the plants down.

It means all waste now comes over to Cornwall at a cost about £500 a tonne.

The company which installed a two-tonne door which resulted in the deaths of a member of Cornish shanty group the Fisherman's Friends and their tour manager had a "rather casual approach to safety", prosecutors have told a court.

Singer Trevor Grills, 54, from Port Isaac, and tour manager Paul McMullen, 44, from Cheshire, died after being hit by a falling door at G Live in Guildford on 9 February 2013 as they unloaded for a concert due that evening.

The prosecution at Guildford Crown Court alleges David Naylor's (below) company, Express Hi-Fold Doors Ltd, made slight changes to an American design, and it was not an unforeseen accident. 

The prosecution said "the door collapsed as both chains connecting the motor and gear box to a drive shaft, failed". Mr Naylor, 57, from Bridgnorth, Shropshire, denies two counts of manslaughter by gross negligence. The trial continues.

They were saved in March having almost gone out of business, but continued low attendances have meant it is no longer viable.

"Unfortunately the necessity to liquidate has been brought about by another season of losses," promoter Ashley Taylor said in a statement. "In the previous three seasons the losses have been funded by the directors and shareholders, well in excess of a six-figure sum."

A scheme in Devon where volunteers fill in potholes has been relaunched after it was branded "confusing and overly bureaucratic". 

Community Road Wardens are now fixing potholes in five trial areas. Those who've signed up have been sent on a two-day training course and have been given materials and equipment to carry out the minor road repairs. 

Devon County Council said it had simplified the guidance for road wardens and now wanted more people to sign up.
