There are some renewed calls for a bypass in the village of Grampound, on the A390 between St Austell and Truro, after a study found it has excessive levels of nitrogen dioxide.

However, Cornwall councillor Bob Egerton, who lives on the main road, said he thought a bypass was unlikely for several reasons, including a previous proposal "fizzling out", no money being available to build one, and the effects it could have on the village.

He said: "Some people would like a bypass, but others acknowledge that a village - the shop, the pub - can die with one."

Police have warned dogs that attack livestock could be shot after a pregnant ewe was killed on Dartmoor.

PC Phil Johnston said owners are responsible for the crime of livestock being attacked.

"We see a rise in these incidents during the spring and lambing season, and this is when livestock are at their most vulnerable," he said.

“Not only could you be breaking the law, a farmer has the right to protect his livestock. If your dog is roaming free and bothering animals on the farmers land, your dog could be shot. 

"On top of that, you could also be liable for the costs of the damage your dog has caused to the livestock if the farmer wished to take civil action against you."
