New technology is being introduced in Cornwall to help tackle the issue of cars without permits parking in resident-only parking zones.

Cornwall Council said it was introducing camera cars to "make best use of technology, give value for money and free up civil enforcement officers so we can use them in other areas where there are parking issues".

The cars are fitted with a camera and automatic number plate recognition technology so checks can be made on cars parked in resident-only parking zones in some areas of Truro.

The camera cars will also check whether vehicles in St Ives have the right vehicle-specific permit.

The council said it would be rolling out the use of camera cars in other areas when other resident parking zones became vehicle-specific permit parking zones.

The UK’s Border Force is recruiting extra officers in Plymouth as part of its preparations for Brexit.

The government agency enforces the law on immigration and goods entering or leaving the country.

It is part of the Home Office and officers carry out checks of people and goods at ports and airports. The agency also works on counter-terrorism and human trafficking.

Plymouth is one of the locations for the recruitment of 1,000 extra staff to prepare for Brexit.

The city is a route for significant trade and travel between the UK and Europe through Brittany Ferries' operation at Millbay Docks.

News of the extra jobs comes as Plymouth City Council’s Labour leader Tudor Evans raised concerns about an apparent lack of preparations for a no-deal Brexit.

He told councillors ministers were warning local government to prepare for an economic shock if the UK leaves the EU without a deal on 31 October.

He added he feared some businesses could be in trouble if a no-deal Brexit went ahead.

His concerns reflect a government assessment of the effects of a no-deal Brexit leaked to the Sunday Times, which warned of possible shortages of food and medicines.

Cabinet minister Michael Gove responded that the study was a “worst-case scenario”.

A teenager who prosecutors say was being used by London-based drug dealers to deliver heroin and cocaine in Cornwall - a so-called county lines operation - told police he “would have got beat up” if he had refused to work.

The jury at Truro Crown Court heard the teenager from London, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was found by police at a flat in Bodmin last year. He told police he agreed to work for a man who he owed money for cannabis.

During a police interview played to the court, the teenager described how he was picked up in a car, brought clothes with him and knew he would be going away, but had not been told exactly what he would be doing.

Nine people are on trial, with four of them accused of human trafficking offences.

A barrister representing a man who denies arranging for the teenager to be exploited said the youth had come up with a story to stop police pursuing him for dealing drugs. The teenager denied this.

The case continues.

A holiday park is likely to have to dig up a multi-use games pitch and relocate it after planning permission was refused.

The multi-use games area (Muga) at St Merryn Holiday Park, just 16m from the nearest home, was installed without planning permission and residents complained about noise which led to Cornwall Council starting enforcement proceedings.

Owner the Cher Varya Group applied for permission to retain it, but the council’s east sub-area planning committee unanimously has refused it.

Permanent residents nearby complained there was constant noise day and night from balls bouncing, balls hitting the wire mesh fence and shouting.

Noise assessments carried out by the council found it had been built too close to homes and there were "no satisfactory means of mitigating the harm that is being caused by the use of this area".

The holiday park had insisted that the area had previously been used for football and it had chosen the location after consulting with the park’s residents’ association. However, those who objected said there had never been football played in that area and they had not been consulted at all.

A representative from the holiday park said to the planning committee: "We apologise for this being a retrospective application as we thought it was permitted development."

A woman found dead in the sea off south Devon was visiting the county from Huddersfield, an inquest has heard.

The body of 49-year-old Tracy Knott, from Kirkheaton, was recovered after police were called to water near Brixham's Freshwater Quarry car park, in Torbay, early on 11 August.

The inquest, at Plymouth’s Coroner’s Court, was opened and adjourned. It is expected to continue later in the year.

A major project to improve the coastal resilience in Mounts Bay in Cornwall has been completed, with a 1,148ft (350m) length of the coast at Long Rock now open to the general public.

More than 12,500 tonnes of locally-sourced rock has been used to protect the most vulnerable section of this part of the coast from eroding and being breached during storm conditions.

The works are part of a wider £3.7m strategic project to improve coastal resilience in Mount’s Bay and will also include environmental improvements to Marazion Marsh, Cornwall Council said.

The works are being wholly funded by grants from the European Regional Development Fund , external(ERDF) and the Environment Agency Flood Defence Grant-in-Aid, external (FDGiA).

The development, along with creating a new sea defence and public amenity space, has also created two new ramps on to the beach to allow greater public access to the water.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been visiting the Royal Cornwall Hospital near Truro, confirming that the site is in line to receive £99.9m for a new women's and children's unit.

Mr Johnson said the money would be available "as soon as the hospital wants it".

However, despite the visit, there was still a reminder of the pressure the system is under, with six ambulances queuing outside the emergency department at about 13:00 on Monday - around the time Mr Johnson was on site (it is not suggested the two matters are connected).

The trust's website, external said there was a two-hour wait for urgent care at 14:45 with 24 patients waiting to be seen.

Mr Johnson was also visiting the county as part of a campaign launch looking at a number of measures designed to improve vaccination rates.

The £20,000 "Time and Tide bell" has been given to the town as part of a national project by Devon artist Marcus Vergette, but still needs planning permission from Torbay Council and the Marine Management Organisation.

Six of the 16 planned have already been installed, including one at Appledore in north Devon.

A fitness instructor from Devon has come up with an unusual form of exercise: doing pilates while interacting with miniature pigs.

Harry Parkes has set up a class called Piggy Pilates, running the sessions at Pennywell Farm at Buckfastleigh which have, so far, been a sell out.

"I thought it was a wind-up at first but I had heard of goat yoga, and obviously the benefits of exercising with animals is much-reported," she said.

Ms Parkes said the first session was a bit "hare-brained" but everyone who came loved it and the pigs enjoyed the attention.

She added: "They're really inquisitive, they're really cheeky and they love a little scratch halfway through."

A road in south Devon could be closed permanently if it is damaged by another major storm.

The organisations looking after the A379 Slapton Line said it could not be moved further inland and may be left to the elements.

In recent years, the management policy has been to retreat – to move the road inland.

About £5m has been spent on it in the last five years.

In 2018, Storm Emma destroyed a 700m stretch and more than £2.5m was spent repairing the road then.

The warning now is that, if funding like that is not available in the future, residents would need to start thinking about how they will live if there was no road.
