A fence has been erected outside a city centre bank branch in Truro to prevent and deter homeless people from gathering and sleeping outside.

However, as you can see from the top picture, it still didn't deter someone from parking their car there on Sunday afternoon.

Exeter ran in five tries to extinguish Ulster's hopes of Champions Cup quarter-final qualification by winning 31-19 in the Pool 5 game at Sandy Park on Sunday.

Michele Campagnaro and Thomas Waldrom both crossed twice for the hosts who retain a very slim mathematical chance of making the competition's last eight. Exeter were also awarded a late penalty try as they picked up a bonus point.

Sean Reidy's try gave Ulster an early lead while the impressive Charles Piutau touched down in each half. Ulster-born Exeter fly-half Gareth Steenson kicked three conversions, with Paddy Jackson adding the extra points to two of his side's tries.

Doctors are warning that NHS patients face "dangerous" treatment delays due to a 10-fold increase in referral management centres. 

The centres act as a filter between GPs and hospitals.

About a third of health commissioning groups in England use the centres, but the number of patients being rejected has increased steadily in the last two years, often for administrative reasons such as information missing in a referral letter. 

The British Medical Association, which represents doctors, described it as a barrier that takes decisions about patients away from GPs. The NHS said such centres helped ensure people got the right advice, care or treatment.
