Hundreds of people are expected to take part in a charity walk in Cornwall on Sunday to highlight the dangers of exposure to the sun and to raise money for research into malignant melanoma.

It's been organised by a woman who's dying from the disease.

According to Cancer Research UK, about six people a day in the UK die from malignant melanoma - the fifth most common cancer in the UK - with one in 54 people being diagnosed with it during their lifetime.

In the South West, the number of cases rose by nearly 50% between 2007 and 2015.

Val Bugden-Cawsey, who lives in Launceston, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of malignant melanoma in May and has been told she has just six months to live.

But she said she had no intention of becoming "a patient" when she can be out raising money for research.

"What's the point of spending £70,000 on treatment for me with a trial drug which might give me a 5% chance of a slightly long life? Let someone else have that money who has a better chance," she said.

The three-mile "Val Walks Tall" walk sets off from Launceston Medical Centre at 14:00 on Sunday, followed by a cream tea, cake stall and raffle at the town hall.

The mortuary on the grounds of Exeter's former asylum will not become someone's home after Exeter City Council turned down plans to change the use to residential purposes.

The city asylum - known as Digby Hospital - closed in 1987 and, soon after, the site was divided to allow for new-build houses, a retail park and a supermarket and the main buildings were also converted to residential use.

Plans from Crayon Architects, on behalf of the freeholder, Michael Joy, had been outlined to change the use of the former mortuary, but these were turned down by the council's planning committee and then by a planning inspector, who said the changes would have an adverse impact upon the character and appearance of the area.

In conclusion, the inspector's report said: "The proposed development would result in a claustrophobic and cramped living space and would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers."

He said: "I immediately felt sick. I have gone to many jobs like this and you always go with the intention that you are going to help this person."

In a statement, PC Priestley said: "There was nothing we could do. I felt totally helpless and shocked."

Miss Bygrave’s family thanked the officers for what they did to try to stop her from taking her life.

Coroner Dr Emma Carlyon concluded Miss Bygrave’s death was as a result of suicide while suffering from mental disorder.

Speaking after the hearing, Miss Bygrave’s mother, Hannah Bygrave, said her daughter had a been "lovely and bubbly" person who had lots of friends and loved animals.

People living in Devon, Cornwall and Dorset are being asked for their views on a proposed merger of police forces.

The two forces have been in a "strategic alliance" since 2015 working collaboratively in several areas, including roads policing, firearms, armed response vehicles, dog units and some administrative tasks.

Both chief constables are in favour of the merger, but Devon and Cornwall Police and Crime Commissioner Alison Hernandez says while she believes it could be a "practical progression" there are still questions to be answered, including over officer numbers.

She also wants to be sure the public in Devon and Cornwall would be prepared to pay more for policing, as the council tax policing precept might have to be "harmonized" as Dorset taxpayers currently pay about £18 more.

The survey on Future Policing, external will be available online until the end of August, after which the business case will be presented to the Home Office.

If approval is given, a new merged force could come into effect in May 2020.
