There is concern from some patients in Cornwall that the county's new narrower ambulances mean people cannot be transferred from a wheelchair to a stretcher without it being done in public.

Cornwall has 63 new hi-tech vehicles worth £8m, with most of that money coming from the government. They are narrower than many standard UK ambulances, allowing them to more easily access out-of-the-way places with narrower roads.

Neil Lechevalier, director of operational services at South Western Ambulance Service, said the ambulances employed the Power-LOAD stretcher system, which can lift and lower patients into and out of the ambulance and "basically almost loads itself, almost without help from the paramedic".

However, he admitted some compromises have had to be made in order to introduce the new equipment which meant people would have to be put on the stretcher lift system out the back the ambulance.

The road outside a seafront hotel devastated by fire a month ago is expected to remain closed to traffic all this week.

An investigation is being carried out into the safety of the road after an arson attack at the disused Shedden Hall Hotel at Torquay.

The damaged building near the road was demolished after it was declared unsafe, and investigations of the site revealed a cellar reaching under Shedden Hill.

A path for pedestrians has been reopened, but the road is expected to remain closed to traffic while the safety of the road structure is assessed.

Meanwhile Torbay Council officials are in talks with the owner of the site, which was being redeveloped for flats and houses before the blaze on 4 June, about its future.

Councillors and Torbay MP Kevin Foster had raised concerns about a delay to work starting on the derelict site, which was given planning permission in May 2017.

A local building company was given approval to convert the main building into four flats, demolish modern extensions and build seven houses in the grounds.

No one was injured in the incident which police said was being investigated as arson.

Truro City caretaker manager Paul Wilkinson says he has not ruled out taking the job on a permanent basis.

Devon’s schools could soon be forced to shut on Friday afternoons due to budget pressures, a leading councillor is predicting.

Rob Hannaford, chairman of Devon County Councils Children’s Scrutiny Committee, said he is convinced a school in Devon will soon join schools nationwide closing on Friday afternoons to give teachers the preparation and planning time required, because they cannot afford to pay for an additional teacher to cover those sessions.

A group of more than 80 cross-party MPs have written to Chancellor Philip Hammond urging him to increase school and special needs funding before permanent damage is done to the education of children across England.

An example used in the letter of the damage being done includes Exeter Road Community Primary School in Exmouth, which has already reduced the number of teaching assistants at the school from 24 to 18 in order to cut costs.

That school's headteacher Paul Gosling said that the crisis over lack of funding meant that, despite already axing a quarter of support staff, they are facing a budget deficit of £100,000 this year.

A water scooter user has agreed to a voluntary ban from Brixham harbour after being caught on video breaking by-laws.

Torbay harbour master Adam Parnell confronted the offender with CCTV evidence of him being "being particularly stupid" in the harbour and gave the man the option of not using the harbour or facing prosecution.

He said the action had sent “shockwaves” through the water scooter community.

The harbour master said: "He agreed voluntarily not to put his boat back into the water. It meant the young chap did not end up with a criminal record, but ensures the safety of the bay."

Details of the incident emerged as Mr Parnell gave an update to Torbay Council’s harbour committee on recent incidents around Torbay.

Councillors were told there were three reported near-misses involving such craft in April, including two near swimmers at Broadsands and Torre Abbey.

Mr Parnell said a review of warning signs was due to be carried out alongside a programme of education and information for water users.
