Cornwall Council is spending £6.2m a year on education for children who do not go to school.

The council commissioned a review of its alternative education provision (AEP) which is for children who do not attend school for reasons including exclusion, behaviour issues, school refusal or short or long-term illness.

There are currently 436 children under AEP in Cornwall, which represents 0.59% of the entire school population in the county

In neighbouring Devon, which has a larger population, there are 363 children in AEP - 0.37% of the population.

A briefing for councillors highlighted some of the costs. They include providing six units across Cornwall where each pupil costs £22,000 a year; some pupils being educated in Plymouth; and £871,000 a year being spent on transport costs at an average cost of £2,240 per pupil - as most travel by taxi.

A briefing heard a number of options could be considered by the council to cut costs, including taking the service back in-house, using one provider, or working with schools to provide their own AEP provision.

Exeter's Heavitree Road police station is up for sale.

The joint station and magistrates' court opened in 1960 but the force said the facilities were no longer fit for modern policing.

The station is next to a Waitrose store on one of the main routes into the city. It is expected to be demolished and replaced with housing, although there is no planning permission for the site.

Although the station is attached to the magistrates' court, that is not included in the sale as it is owned and run by a separate government agency.

Money from the sale will go towards a new £29m police centre being built on the eastern edge of Exeter, near the force HQ at Middlemoor. It is due to be completed in January 2020 and provide a base for 450 officers.

The Heavitree Road station is where church caretaker Thomas Orchard was found unconscious in a cell after being restrained in 2012 before dying in hospital seven days later.

Devon and Cornwall Chief Constable Shaun Sawyer has been charged with health and safety offences in connection with the death. A plea is expected to be given at Bristol Crown Court in October.

Some towns in the centre of a proposed new parliamentary seat straddling the Devon and Cornwall border could benefit from the new constituency, a town mayor says.

The Boundary Commission has proposed creating a so-called "Devonwall" seat that crosses the River Tamar. The seat would include Bideford, Bude and Launceston.

The review has been carried out after Parliament said the number of constituencies across the UK should be reduced from 650 to 600 with roughly the same number of electors in each - between 71,000 and 78,500.

The plans have been previously criticised in both Devon and Cornwall, and protests held against them.

However, Mayor of Holsworthy John Hutchings said that it was potentially "a good thing".
