Campaigners calling for a council to replace an axed Devon bus service have seen their petition presented in Parliament.

There is now no direct bus to Torbay Hospital from Paignton and Brixham after the number 67 service stopped earlier this year.

The minor injuries units in both towns have closed meaning patients have no choice but to go to the hospital in Torquay.

The Conservative MP for Totnes, Dr Sarah Wollaston, told the Commons that more than 1,200 signatures have been collected.

She added the cancellation of the service was having a "detrimental impact on local residents".

New research is claiming Brexit could lead to multimillion-pound losses to the Cornish economy - because a lack of migrant labour could finish off the horticultural industry.

Commissioned by Cornwall Council and the Local Enterprise Partnership, the study calls on the government to end uncertainty and make sure future migration laws work for the county.

About 17,000 EU nationals are currently estimated to be living and working in Cornwall.

In a statement farming minister George Eustice said he would continue "working closely with the Home Office who leads on migration policy to ensure the continued growth and productivity of our seasonal produce industry."

An inquest has begun into the death of a 14-year-old schoolboy from Devon who died following a freak incident on a school skiing trip to France in 2011.

Kieran Brookes from Bovey Tracey got trapped on a chair-lift as he was trying to get off because his backpack got stuck.

As the chair turned and headed back down the mountain he slipped and fell and was asphyxiated by his clothing.

He died in at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital three weeks later.

Cornwall Air Ambulance carried out 68 missions in October to people in need of urgent medical care throughout the county and the Isles of Scilly.

A man injured by an overturned truck, a woman thrown from a horse and a man hurt when a wooden pallet fell on him are among the incidents attended.

As well as its helicopter, the charity also runs critical care cars, which attended around a third of the total incidents.

Every year the helicopter responds to about 700 emergency calls for help and is at the scene of an incident in an average of 12 minutes, it said.

The charity costs £3m a year to run.

Diamond has officially been charged with "conduct prejudicial to the interests of the game" and his hearing will take place on 16 November.

Plans have been drawn up for a huge student village on the outskirts of Penryn.

The proposed 55 acre site at Treluswell could accommodate 2,000 students from Falmouth University.

There would also be sports facilities, a hotel and restaurant, and a medical centre.

Those supporting it say it would take the pressure off local housing in Falmouth and Penryn.

The proposals follow a series of planning applications in the area for student flats which have been turned down - meaning there could be even more competition for housing between students and locals in the future if the university continues to expand.

The planning application for the student village is due before Cornwall Council in the next few months.

There's a warning Brexit could lead to the collapse of Cornwall's horticultural industry, as new research shows a rapid fall in EU migrant workers in the county.

The study was commissioned by Cornwall Council and the Local Enterprise Partnership and calls on the government to end uncertainty and make sure future migration laws work for the county.

David Simmons, the managing director of Riviera Produce - one of Cornwall's largest food growers - claims he's already seen a reduction, and he could soon be left without enough labour.

"If we don't have migrant labour for most of the industries in Cornwall, Cornwall itself will completely change," he said.

In a statement farming minister George Eustice said "Both the environment secretary and I have discussed this issue extensively with key representatives from the industry and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs continues to monitor labour needs, working closely with the Home Office who lead on migration policy to ensure the continued growth and productivity of our seasonal produce industry."
