Planned maintenance at Cornwall's waste-to-energy incinerator means rubbish has to be sent to landfill in Devon.

The plant in St Dennis could be closed for more than eight weeks.

Operator Suez said during this time engineers would fix a long-term rotor problem which had led to no electricity being produced for eight months.

It added that the plant did not have enough space to store waste over this time and some would have to go to landfill.

Long-term plans to safeguard the future of the Dawlish rail line could be revealed in the summer - and built by 2027 - but only if funding is found.

Design work on the best method to protect the section of track between Parsons Tunnel and Teignmouth is nearing completion, with a series of revetments, sea walls and rockfall shelters over the line planned by Network Rail.

The plans include:

• Rockfall shelters build over the top of the railway line
• A rock revetment at Parsons Tunnel to absorb the energy of incoming waves
• Improved sea wall defences, including the previous announced works at Marine Parade and Dawlish station
• Moving the railway further away from the cliffs
• Retaining a large part of the Smugglers' Beach for public use
• Buttresses to reinforce and support the cliffs

David Lovell, Network Rail Programme Manager for the Western and Wales, told Teignbridge's Locality Committee that the design work would be complete by the summer and they would then be in a position to formally submit their plans, subject to funding.

Planning to increase the resilience of tracks in the area has been under way since storms in 2014 caused a section of the Dawlish sea wall to collapse, leaving the main track through Devon and Cornwall suspended in mid-air (pictured).
