Cornwall Council is taking ownership of the Wave Hub - the county's offshore electricity generator testing facility, the authority says.

The £30m device, normally anchored about 10 miles off Hayle, was installed in 2010 and acts as a socket to bring electricity to shore from power generators being tested in the ocean nearby.

The council said it was taking over the device from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy as part of a £14m investment package "to attract international inward investment to Cornwall and support local device [generator] developers and the supply chain".

Susan Norman, 68, died in March 2013 when a landslide, during torrential rain, poured into her hillside flat in Sandplace Road in Looe, partially destroyed her home and burying her in her bed.

Neighbour Tim Topham told the inquest in Truro that he'd had problems with flooding from the road above for more than a decade, and that, four months before the death, there was a further extensive landslide next to his property.

The council responded that a lack of funding had prevented them from carrying out repairs sooner. The inquest continues.

One of the most unusual buildings along the South West Coast Path is Hawker’s Hut, which was built in the 1840s from timbers retrieved from shipwrecks by an eccentric clergyman.
