Plans to build a 70 room Premier Inn in the centre of Falmouth will go before Cornwall Council's planning committee on Monday.

Dozens of hoteliers and residents voiced their concerns at a public meeting last night. They raised issues including parking for hotel guests.

Premier Inns say there's plenty of parking nearby - especially at night.

Paul O'Sullivan, who was at the meeting, said: "Did it surprise me that they were given a prime piece of real estate in the centre of Falmouth, one of the busiest towns in the country, right next to a car park which apparently they're not going to use at all? No."

"It's a great opportunity for them to make a tonne of money. Do they think if they keep going, they'll get it through? Yeah, they will."

A dog has been attacked by a beaver in Devon.

”The beaver struck without warning and properly had a good go at the owner’s dog. If it had been a smaller breed it could have been killed," a witness said.

It happened near Otterton, in East Devon, and dog owners are being warned to keep their pets close to them.

The Devon Wildlife Trust’s Stephen Hussey said he was aware of the incident. He said there were warning signs in place urging people to keep dogs on leads.

”This time of year the beavers have kits and they are very small and vulnerable," he added.
