Good evening from the late team in the South West. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
Business leaders have called for our region to get a bigger share | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Fares will rise next week and will hit all parts | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
of the country equally, campaigners say that's unfair | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
The rail industry says billions of pounds is being spent | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
More from our business correspondent Neil Gallacher. | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
Rail fares will go up by an average of 2.3% from January 2nd. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
That rise is being applied uniformly across the country. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
On the face of it, that treats all regions equally. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Well, this is an inherently unfair system. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
The price increase applies right across the country, | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
regardless of how much the cost is going back into the network. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
The reality is we get about a tenth of the spend that the rest | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
And that is the reason why we have got such a fragile rail network. | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
The vulnerability of the rail link into Devon and Cornwall was keenly | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
felt at the start of December because of flooding at Cowley Bridge | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
outside Exeter, lending urgency to calls for more spending here. | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
But the picture is not all bad, according to the joint rail campaign | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
That is real investment in the south-west. | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
Every part of the country wants money. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
We have just got to shout very, very loudly and make sure we are heard, | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
so that the investment comes to the south-west. | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
We really feel we are the forgotten south-west and that's why | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
we are saying to government, don't forget about us, we need | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Record amounts are being spent upgrading Britain's railway | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Some of that spending undeniably has knock-on | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
benefits back down the line, but it will soon be three years | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
since the collapse of the main route at Dawlish reminded everyone how | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
this region does not enjoy the sort of robust rail links that many other | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
parts of the country take for granted. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
And now a round up of some of the other stories | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Police are warning that dangerous drugs which were stolen from three | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
vets practices in Cornwall in the last week could prove | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
The drugs including Ketamine and Apomorphine were taken | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
from practices in Trelay, Redruth and Truro. | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
The family of a Devon man murdered in Tamerton Foliot on New Year's Day | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
in 2015 want answers from the probation service about how | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
It's emerged that Donald Pemberton - who stabbed Tanis Bhandari to death | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
- was out on licence from prison when he was seen wielding meat | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
cleavers a fortnight before the murder. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
The Community Rehabilitation Company involved said his behaviour | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
The public are being asked to have their say about plans | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
for the reform of the NHS and social care system in Cornwall | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
The five year plan could include the loss of hospital beds in favour | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
A series of public meetings will be held throughout January. | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
Dartmoor National Park is one of many losing millions of pounds | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
in Government funding, according to figures | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
The Campaign for National Parks said staff numbers on Dartmoor had | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
The government had promised to protect funding, but figures show | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
parks will be receiving much less by 2020 than a decade earlier. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
It's a common complaint that there's not enough for young teenagers | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
Well, now in Dawlish, they have a youth club | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
Local church groups have got together to provide an inflatable | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
pop-up dome where young people can go on a Friday night. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
This storm is being run by church groups. This area has had problems | :03:44. | :04:10. | |
with drugs. We have been doing work in the town for years and the use | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
groups were not working so we looked at something that was more Ballard | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
would draw the young people in and we just happen to stumble across a | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
pop-up dome and we thought, "Why not?" And we realised it was not too | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
expensive. It is very much in its infancy, but it is somewhere to go | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
that is warm with the tea and coffee beyond the local sports centre. If | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
you are a sporty person, there is definitely a lot to do. But there is | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
not a lot of things like this. I guess it is to somewhere for them to | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
go and it is not out on these treat this mixing with random people. It | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
is a bit safer. It is warm in here, I guess. And the outside is called. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
There are activities. Playing games. Other this is operated by church | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
groups, it is not here to preach or convert. It is currently running | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Friday night, and in the summer, they hope to hold outdoor activities | :05:06. | :05:06. | |
as well. Onto tonight's football | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
and in League 2 Yeovil Town held promotion chasing Portsmouth | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
to a goalless draw at Huish Park. The results leaves | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
the Glovers in 12th place. Of course it's New Year's Eve | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
tomorrow and if you're off out you'll need to know what the weather | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
will be like. Thank you. Good evening. Well, | :05:21. | :05:33. | |
foremost, it is dry but rather cloudy. And then start 2017 with | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
some rain. This evening, it is dry foremost. That's a bit of fog and | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
the greatest chance of some frost further to the east and for the | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Channel islands. But foremost, frost free overnight. 4-5 C. But rather a | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
lowering so we have some fog as lowering so we have some fog as | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
well. A cloudy start to the day tomorrow. Some breaks possible at | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
times, allowing some brightness times, allowing some brightness | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
through, equally we could see some rain over the hills. Foremost, debit | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
is just about creeping into double figures. So we end the year rather | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
cloudy but dry for your celebrations. And then the rain | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
comes through during the early hours of the 1st of January, claiming to | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
brighter weather. Happy New Year. Our next news is at | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
7.35am tomorrow evening. Have a lovely weekend | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
and thanks for your company. Good evening. Looking ahead to 2017 | :06:25. | :06:40. | |
it looks like we will start off on a cold note. This weather front will | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
move south in the next day or so bringing rain with it, but also much | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
colder air following a lull behind. It will sweep the fog away. It's | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
grey for some places this afternoon. You could hardly see across the | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
river in the Greater London area. Met Office warnings are in force. | :07:01. | :07:02. |
