Fears that sewage discharges will leave this beach too contaminated | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
:00:19. | :00:22. | ||
for swimmers. Businesses here will close, because they're dependent on | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
tourism. Good evening. We'll hear more from people in Combe Martin in | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
just a moment. Also tonight: stepping up the fight - a summit is | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
held in Cornwall amid growing anger over the pasty tax. The three | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
musketeers, David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Osborne don't live on | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
this planet and didn't realise how passionate we are about a basic | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
food. "It's rubbish!" The verdict from some on changes to refuse and | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
recycling collections in Cornwall. And a musical memorial to the | :00:51. | :01:01. | |
Titanic in a dramatic coastal setting. Villagers in a North Devon | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
tourist resort are fighting to save their beach before it becomes a no- | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
go zone for swimmers. Figures show that South West Water pumped waste | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
water - including partially treated sewage - into the sea at Combe | :01:10. | :01:13. | |

:01:23. | :01:24. | ||
North Devon reporter, Andrea Ormsby, has the story. Combe Martin is one | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
in North Devon's most beautiful valleys and is a popular tourist | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
resort. But there is a problem. Last year South West wearer the | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
pumped waste water, including partially treated sewage into the | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
sea 42 times. If this continues for four years and we ends up with | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
permanent signs on the beach, saying water not fit for bathing, | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
businesses here will close. Because they're dependent on tourism. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Trevor is now campaigning to stop the problem. He is taking these | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
posters to shops and businesses to highlight the issue. He is | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
convinced if they lose their water quality, they will lose their | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
visitors. It would make us think about coming back, if we thought | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
there was pollution. We have an organic lifestyle. So we wouldn't | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
be happy. It is sad, we're on holiday and with my daughter and | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
the grandchildren and we have come here and it is the freedom of the | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
kids being able to play in the water and to be so natural, not to | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
have to worry about anything unforeseen floating around. | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
problem happens in heavy rain when household waste is flushed away and | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
mixs with water from storm drains and this becomes too much for the | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
treatment works to deal with and the excess overflows into the sea. | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
The situation is a complicated situation, with regard to bathing | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
water quality. The sewer overflows are doing what they're designed to | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
do. The frequency of spills isn't what we would want. We're improving | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
that, so that working with the Environment Agency, because we want | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
the make sure that water quality is ready for the new bathing water | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
regulation. The new standards mean the beach could end up being closed | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
to swimmers. It is a situation Combe Martin is desperate to avoid. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Joining me now is the Operations Director of Cornwall-based Surfers | :03:31. | :03:41. | |
:03:41. | :03:42. | ||
against Sewage, Andy Cummins. First, 42 pollution incidents there alone. | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
But this isn't an ice late case, it happens elsewhere, doesn't it? | :03:47. | :03:56. | |
Throughout the South West there are over 1,500 of these combined sewer | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
overflows. They needed, but they should not be discharging 42 times | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
a year. We should be looking at a handful of isolated spills across | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
the whole year, during extreme weather. Swers Water, like all of | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
the other water companies, are abusing the combined sewer | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
overflows to discharge untreated sewage after normal down pours, not | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
heavy down pours. Looking at the scene there, it is beautiful, | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
you're concerns, as well as the people of the area, if this keeping | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
happening, warnings will go up and you will be prevented from going in | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
the sea at all? Yes. The beaches are the South West's most, they're | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
best asset. People want to come here and enjoy these sea and hope | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
they will have a fraet and -- great and safe time. So people need | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
information at the right time. Part of that, surfers against sewage | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
have been working with South West Water so when these overflows do | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
discharge, we're texting people immediately to tell them there will | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
be a pollution incident and people can make an informed decision about | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
if they want to go in the sea or not. Knowing that there is sewage | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
in the water. You have worked on that warning system, South West | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
Water are not doing anything ill legal, what else co-you -- do you | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
think could they be doing? If swers Water are not breaking their | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
licence, you're right, but they're not operating their asests like | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
they should be. What we need to do the short-term solution is to make | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
sure people have information and we sent out 80,000 text messages about | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
the pollution incidence - o' incidents. We're lobbying the | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
Environment Agency to make sure that water companies' licences are | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
tightened up. 42 times a year, and that is not worst in the area, but | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
42 time is far too many. And in the long-term we want assets to only | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
operate on those rare occasions when there is a down pour. Thank | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
you. I'm going to have to stop you there. Let us know your views on | :06:17. | :06:26. | |
As doctors' groups in the South West prepare to take charge of NHS | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
budgets, some are already developing services for their | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
patients. The changes are part of the Government's controversial | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
reforms, which many clinicians in the region warn will damage the | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
health service. Others, however, think it's good news for patients. | :06:36. | :06:46. | |
:06:46. | :06:46. | ||
Our Health Correspondent, Sally Mountjoy, has this special report. | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
The Government said more patients and higher treatment costs meant | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
the NHS had to change. In the biggest shake-up since the health | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
service began, it would cut bureaucracy, put GPs in charge and | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
increase competition. But the health and social care bill | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
provoked protests, and even after hundreds of amendments, most | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
doctors, nurses and patients groups were still against it. However, | :07:10. | :07:20. | |
last month the bill became law. Now doctors' groups led by GPs are | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
poised to take over the vast majority of NHS budgets a year from | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
now. Leaders say they are best placed to plan and buy treatment. | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
They know what patients' hopes and fears, all those things are. They | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
know the problems that patients have and they can therefore use | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
that experience and that knowledge to develop things which are more | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
relevant to patients and which are perhaps more patient-centred, | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
rather than a decision being made by someone who has little contacts | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
or experience with those patients. Some GP groups have set up services | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
like the NHS weight loss programme in Torbay, run by a private company. | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
Overweight patients are invited to join. The result has been I have | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
lost two and a half stone. But that is combined with not a diet, but | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
sensible eating. So the exercise and the eating, iefr lost weight. | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
They're placed on the programme to help with weight loss, motivational | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
talks and talks about diet and we're trying to change their | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
lifestyle. The doctors who set up the scheme say it shows how | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
patients benefit when their GPs commission their health care and it | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
is a foretaste of the way private firms will be providing NHS | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
services. But critics say the reforms are damaging and expensive. | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
Just when we are trying to become more efficient, save money, we're | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
wasting our attention on thinking about reorganisationing structures. | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
The second thing is as soon as you bring in loads of private sector | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
companies, who will land up taking small chunks of service that they | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
think are profitable, you will get fragmentation and then things will | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
go wrong. But primary care Trusts will be abol ired and doctors and | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
nurses are ready to take over NHS budgets. -- abolished. Clinical | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
groups are set up in Cornwall, South Devon and Torbay, Knorr east | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
and west Devon. Dorset and Somerset. And in Somerset they have taken | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
charge of contracts for some major services such as medicines, | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
hospital care and meantal health. A baeb Politics Shows most GPs think | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
the reform will lead too poorer care. Other believe putting | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
decisions in their hands will create better services for their | :09:59. | :10:09. | |
:10:09. | :10:16. | ||
patients.. Hundreds of householders in Cornwall say their bins haven't | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
been emptied since a new waste collection system was brought in | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
last month. Some say their rubbish has been lyin$$WHITE Swede, steak | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
and spuds - the traditional ingredients for a hot Cornish pasty, | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
but now the Government intends to add a new one - VAT. These people | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
have been waiting for their rubbish to be correct collected for two | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
weeks. It is nearly three weeks now and it's getting desperate. We have | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
foxes around. I have been out twice, cleaned up. Covered it up again. | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
Down the road is a donkey and pony sanctuary -- sapbgtri. We have | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
crows, faxs and it will encourage rats, with the environmental we're | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
in here. Two weeks ago Cornwall council introduced a new rubbish | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
collection system and the entire service has been contracted out to | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
Cory environmental and the days and times of many collections have | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
changed. Cory Environmental admit there have been problems. There is | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
a combination of factors, some genuine misses and the refuse has | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
been put out at the correct time, some people have put it out at | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
their usual time and some put it out what they think is the correct | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
day. But we're some, because they're getting familiar with the | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
new routes. The council have set up a hotline too deal with problems, | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
but many say they can't get through. We have increased the capacity in | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
the call centre. There is still frustrations with that. If you can, | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
please use the web-site. And there will a response from the web-site. | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
Yes well collections have been miss and we will endeavour to respond | :11:53. | :12:00. | |
and get a cle, out there within 48 hours. Back in May some good news | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
for Clive, one of the extra collection vans did arrive and | :12:03. | :12:13. | |
:12:13. | :12:18. | ||
although it was a squeeze, it took away his unwanted rubbish. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
Okehampton has moved a step closer to getting a new railway station. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
Devon County Council is backing the submission of a planning | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
application for a �360,000 scheme to the east of the town. The long | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
term aim is to provide weekday rail services to Exeter and boost | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
employment and business growth locally. Police in Plymouth are | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
appealing for witnesses after two masked men robbed a city | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
convenience store. The robbers, both armed with knives, walked into | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
the Premier Store in Melrose Avenue in Pennycross at around 7 o'clock | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
last night. They escaped with cash - believed to be around �1,000. | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
Devon County Councillors have voted in favour of a �1.7 million scheme | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
to switch off streetlights in Exeter. The remote monitoring | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
system would enable lights to be turned off as traffic and | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
pedestrian levels fall. The long- term aim is to roll out the system | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
across the whole county. We'll be reading out some of your thoughts | :13:05. | :13:08. | |

stop it. And we have almost perfect growing weather, but we haven't | :13:27. | :13:37. | |
:13:37. | :13:40. | ||
seen the last of the frosts. later. Swede, steak and spuds - the | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
traditional ingredients for a hot Cornish pasty, but now the | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
Government intends to add a new one - VAT. The so-called pasty tax has | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
caused uproar and today bakers, politicians and accountants have | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
been meeting to decide what to do about it. Spotlight's David George | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
reports on the pasty summit and the story behind it. The issue is | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
complicated, but hot takeaway food like fish and chips has attracted | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
VAT since the 80s. Hot baked food has not. The Chancellor, not | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
regular pasty eat eer, but here seen eating one, has decided to end | :14:12. | :14:22. | |
:14:22. | :14:22. | ||
this loop put 20% on hot -- loophole and puts 20% on hot baked | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
food. We pay VAT, perhaps they should pay VAT. It is a traditional | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
Cornish food, so you are going to be upsetting people by putting VAT | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
on it. He said in the 80s, clip shop owners passed the charge on to | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
customers. If bakers did the same, it would add up to 50 pence to the | :14:44. | :14:53. | |
price of a pasty. This bakery makes more than 70 thousand pasties a day. | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
Some estimates suggest the business as a whole is worth �150 million a | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
year to the Cornish economy. We're employing local people from the | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
community. We have local suppliers. Local retailers. And all of that | :15:08. | :15:18. | |
could possibly be affected. These are the delegates at the pasty | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
summit. Bakers, retailers, politicians, tax experts and others | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
are discussing how to fight the coalition's plans. David Cameron, | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
Nick Clegg and George Osborne don't live on this planet and didn't | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
realise how passionate we're about an ordinary food No kafr Yar, no | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
champagne, this is a sausage roll, its a corn is pasty. Snee could see | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
a reDix in sales and we could like to see shop loss and bakery closure, | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
that would have a bad impact on the local economy and wider economy. So | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
we're anxious to make sure that point is understood. The summit has | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
reached a consensus and issued a commune Kay in which they say they | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
will ga her more evidence of the impact and plan to meet with | :16:09. | :16:17. | |
officials and keep up the pressure on George Osborne. Almost �500,000 | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
worth of outboard motors were stolen from boats in Devon and | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
Cornwall last year. The police think gangs of thieves from Eastern | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
Europe have been targeting boatyards and moorings. Marine | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
crime's a problem across the south west. Thefts from boats have been | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
reported in the past year from Looe, Falmouth, Rock, Dartmouth and | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
Stithians Lake. Boatwatch schemes with volunteer patrols, CCTV and | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
security markings have helped reduce crime. On the River Fal for | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
example there was a 40% drop in just one year. Now a new scheme's | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
just got underway in north Cornwall, from where Spotlight's Emma | :16:41. | :16:51. | |
:16:51. | :17:00. | ||
Ruminski reports. Regular patrols to deter thieves. The police say | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
gangs are known to free boats from their moorings in one place and | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
steal them elsewhere. Boat engines are worth a lot and these are worth | :17:15. | :17:23. | |
between �15 and �20,000 and here a couple of years ago �100,000 worth | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
of engines were stolen. The police believe organised gangs are | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
committing the crimes and they want local boat owners to keep their | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
engines secure. It is hoped the new inflatable will allow the police to | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
patrol the sea more effectively. It is owned by the Padstow harbour | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
commissioners. By pooling their resources, officers say they can | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
cut down on crime and enforce local buy laws. Last year there was a | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
significant drop in how much was taken. So we're here to try to | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
encourage people to sign up to our boat watch scheme and that does, | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
people become affiliated with us and we can work and pull in the | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
same direction and hopefully minimise the problem further. | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
Special events like this in Rock are designed to promote safety and | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
security on the water. The police have entered into a partnership | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
with the harbour master, and teach teams to support each other. | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
have called in, but it is not a huge concern, the incidents we have | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
dealt with, it has been reassuring, knowing they're there to back us up. | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
The organisations aim to make the other more secure by sharing their | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
knowledge. A Somerset village has been awarded almost �30,000 of | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
Lottery money to keep its post office open. The successful bid by | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
residents in Oake to the Village SOS scheme means their local branch | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
is able to remain open for the time being. It is based on local people | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
running the shop for their own benefit and ploughing the income | :19:11. | :19:21. | |
:19:21. | :19:25. | ||
back into the shop and to make it financially sustainable. Now 100 | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
years ago this weekend the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank in the | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
North Atlantic with the loss of 1,500 lives. This week a Cornish | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
Theatre Company is performing Titanic the Musical and on Saturday | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
all the key moments in the performance will happen on stage at | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
exactly the same time as they did at sea a century ago. Spotlight's | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
John Ayres has more. It has taken seven months to get the performance | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
together and in a theatre location, looking out at the ocean where it | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
happened. There is a 50-strong cast and an orchestra. You don't always, | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
or hardly ever get a full cast to a rehearsal. We have only had one or | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
two relersals when we have had everyone here. So when you get | :20:10. | :20:20. | |
:20:20. | :20:25. | ||
everyone it's, it suddenly starts The company obtained the rights to | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
put on the performance and it has been doing well. Selling more than | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
5 thousand tickets and covering its costs. In term of people turning up, | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
it is the second best show they have had. There is nothing better | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
than hearing people here, due to the acoustics of the place and the | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
echo you get and you realise the expanse in which you're performing. | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
:21:00. | :21:01. | ||
It is a magical experience. It has been ambitious to do it here, but | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
where better could you do it. It is the best theatre I have been able | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
to do its and when the flares go off at night and everyone is trying | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
to get in the lifeboat, it is amazing. We know how this ends, and | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
it is a sensitive subject that you need the get rights. This Saturday, | :21:22. | :21:30. | |
the anniversary, the show will be timed so the key momentss happen at | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
the time they did. There will be a minute's silence to remember those | :21:35. | :21:45. | |

who died that night. And your e- mails. James said 42 sewage | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
releases is too much. They should deal with all but the most extreme | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
weather. And Alan says, "Considering the amount we pay, | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
there should be no raw sewage." rosemary said, the ocean should not | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
be used as a dumping ground. And we have had comments about rubbish | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
collections. Jon said a shambles here. And another viewer said our | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
recycling has not been collected. And on Twitter, Tim says, no | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
recycling collected last Thursday, unable to get through on the phones | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
and web-site would not recognise our post code. A lash up, he says. | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
You can continue the debate on Twitter and on Facebook. It looked | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
lovely down on the beach tonight lovely down on the beach tonight | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
and some lovely sunshine around. Yes, not every where, there have | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
been some showers and some have been heavy. Tonight the have now | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
gone. There is a few out to sea, but inland a lot of clear sky and | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
it will turn cold tonight. Even a touch of frost here and there. When | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
you look at the satellite, you can see the cloud cover across the U | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
kfpt. Most of the south-west Wales and the south-west of England clear | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
of cloud. There is one line of showers to the north of us and that | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
line of showers will come in tonight and by the morning move | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
into the north Devon and north Cornwall coasts. And more showers | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
tomorrow. By the time we get to Friday and into the weekend, a | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
change in wind direction, but a change nonetheless, the winds | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
become northerly and that brings colder air across us. With a bigger | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
risk on Saturday night and Sunday night of some widespread frost. | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
There is Saturday's forecast a keen north-east breeze developing. That | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
was the picture from earlier, you can see thousand showers have faded | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
away. -- how the showers have faded away. We have had some great views. | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
Here there was a view of the patchy cloud, but out to sea, you can see | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
the blue sky along the south Devon coast. We have had a lot of think | :24:24. | :24:34. | |
fine weather. - of this fine weather. This is Dawlish where we | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
have had some people braving some fairly low sea temperatures. The | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
showers across east Dorset and Somerset will tend to fade away | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
tonight. For most of us, we will have a lot of clear sky A good view | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
of the stars, but some low temperatures. Towards dawn, a few | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
more showers on the north coast of Devonor Cornwall. The blue shows | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
where the temperature will get at or just about freezing. So the | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
possibility of some ice on the car winds screen first thing. For most | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
things around three or four degrees. Winds remain light from the north- | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
west. For Cornwall fine weather for the rest of the day. The showerss | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
largely in east Devon and Somerset and Dorset. So for many of us, a | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
lot of sunshine. In the sunshine a top temperature of 13. For the | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
Isles of Scilly a dry day, with good visibility and a north-west | :25:38. | :25:48. | |
:25:48. | :25:49. | ||
breeze. Times of high water are on screen. The cleanest surf will be | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
on the south coast. And winds north-westerly tomorrow, force four, | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
occasionally five in the showers. But generally very good visibility. | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
Not much change at the weekend. The temperatures drop A keen breeze | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
