From the crumbling coast path to a battered swimming pool, | :00:11. | :00:13. | |

Part of the path in Devon and the Jubilee Pool in Penzance | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
The pool is so well used in the summer and without it we ard missing | :00:23. | :00:35. | |
a key tourist attraction so it is incredibly important socially and | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
economically for Penzance. Anger in Torbay over cuts | :00:39. | :00:38. | |
to tourism funding. Industry leaders say | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
the area will now lose out to other Brighton, Blackpool and Bournemouth | :00:45. | :00:58. | |
because they are the winners of the lack of confidence from the mayor. | :00:59. | :00:58. | |
A day of Duchy delights for the Duke of Edinburgh. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Join me later for all the ndws from the bowling club in Torquay where | :01:03. | :01:10. | |

The South West is to get allost ?3 million in Government money to help | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
repair some of the damage c`used by this year's winter storms. | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
Around ?2 million will be spent on rebuilding the famous outdoor | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
The rest of the money will go towards repairing sections | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Here near Kingsbridge the ldgacy of these storms is clear to save. `` | :01:24. | :01:42. | |
C. The cliff and the coastal footpath and the road were taken | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
away by the storms. Now mondy is coming from the community is fun to | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
repair this path and others around the south`west. The money whll go | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
towards 32 capital improvemdnt projects where we have experienced | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
storm damage like this we whll be able to repair the damage and move | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
the path away from the issuds. The bulk of the money is going to the | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
Jubilee Pool in Penzance, btilt in 1935 it was already in serious need | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
of repair before the storms hit The waves left huge cracks in its | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
concrete outer casing. Therd has been a local fundraising calpaign to | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
save it and the fundraisers say the money has come just in time. It has | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
always been a Penzance and so many people I have | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
met the pool throughout their lhves so | :02:37. | :02:51. | |
it is really a treasure for Penzance and one of only five art deco | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
doughs left in the country `nd it was voted one of the world's top | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
of damage from the storms and we are waiting | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
government. Any of the roads behind the seafront we will have to pay | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
reprioritise our budgets to pay for them. Work on | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
those running it say it could be open for swimmers for | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Tourism leaders in Torbay are angry at the news that | :03:27. | :03:27. | |
the main organisation which promotes the area as a holiday destination is | :03:28. | :03:27. | |
The Mayor of Torbay is proposing to end the | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
English Riviera Tourism Company s contract two years early and make | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Tourists have been flocking to the English Riviera for decades. The | :03:34. | :03:52. | |
industry is set to pull in ?450 million every year to the local | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
economy. Torbay is facing stiff competition from overseas and other | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
British resorts. Hoteliers like Adam Millward who has been running this | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
business for ten years say that to cut the budget of the organhsation | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
which promotes the area now is lunacy. We desperately need the | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
tourism can play to be in fhghting shape for 2015. As it is thd | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
proposed cuts mean it will be completely emasculated and barely | :04:22. | :04:30. | |
able to function. The result of that is that you will be able to hear the | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
Bournemouth because they ard the great winners of the Mayor's lack | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
confidence. The English Rivhera Tourism Company's English | :04:39. | :04:41. | |

the council is under pressure to save ?45 million | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
kind of companies are no longer an option for us | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
and children's services and roads maintenance. Tourism and other | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
discretionary services are not statutory ones. The council | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
launched a two`month consultation on the proposed cuts but this lan who | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
members are suspicious of the timing. We can only hope and make | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
ourselves heard and try and get the stock. The fact | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
this consultation when we are really busy | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
council says all consultation will be taken | :05:57. | :05:59. | |

The Governor of Channings Wood Prison, | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
Gavin O'Malley, has been moved to another role at a different jail. | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
The Prison Service insists ht's not connected with a vote | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
of no confidence taken against the Governor and his Deputy by | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
The POA had raised concerns about staffing levels at thd jail, | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
but the Ministry of Justice says it was described as safe | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
and calm with low levels of violence at its most recent inspection. | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
Figures obtained by the BBC show the south wdst's | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
major roads suffer lengthy closures at least once a week. | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
Business leaders say the closures cost the economy millions | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
of pounds and they've renewdd their call for improved road links. | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
Our home affairs corresponddnt Simon Hall reports. | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Businesses have long complahned about the cost of closures of the | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
main roads into and through the South West. Figures obtained by the | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
BBC give the first indication of just how often it happens. The | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
Highways Agency treat Devon and Cornwall as one area. In thd last | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
five years the 838 and a 30 have been closed about once a wedk | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
because of crashes or bad wdather. At the area that includes the M , | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
the region's main closures happen about anothdr twice | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
a week. Roads to us are I vhtal lifeline and business arterx. | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
Without that am without any disruption on it it is very | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
difficult to conduct efficidnt and effective business and to m`ke sure | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
we are driving our economy forward. Business groups estimate thd closure | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
of one of the main roads like this cost the economy of the reghon | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
around half ?1 million closure of the M5 costs mord like an | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
hour. This company is the bhggest haulage company in the south`west | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
and it is concerned at the number of closures of main roads. Our job is | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
to deliver staff at very spdcific times throughout the UK and back | :10:33. | :10:41. | |
into the if we get caught in a traffic jam and | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
time we fail and our customdrs do not | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
businesses that rely on the roads are also worried about the closures. | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
customers obviously when thdy arrive they have had | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
when they have been stuck in a car for four of five hours | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
pitch a tent, it is very hard for them, it is in the | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
The Highways Agency told us they closed roads under the direction of | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
the police. We understand the concerns that the business | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
have regarding road closures. When fatal | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
investigate them and investhgate them safely and in order | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
number of closures of the m`in roads has renewed calls for | :11:40. | :11:50. | |
subject of a government feasibility study. | :11:51. | :11:52. | |

It's been a day of Cornish delights for The Duke of | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
Yes, His Royal Highness started his day by meeting gig rowers in Newquay | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
and went on to find out mord about some unique Cornish delicaches. | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
The Duke started his visit `t Newquay rowing club which is home to | :12:12. | :12:29. | |
three historic gig floral m`cro They asked if we had anyone to grow | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
blind to win again so we won every race. He liked it. | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
Blige and saw that I had thd gold Duke of | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
it came to unveiling things. The visit came about after a letter from | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
the chairman of the club. I did not expect him to say | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
said yes to years ago and of course he was unwell but | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
and he has come to see us. The next stop was Padstow | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
hatchery. He had good questhons to ask, he was very | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
that we do here at the work that we do here at that brew in | :13:25. | :13:44. | |
standing in the UK's only tda Plantation | :13:45. | :13:54. | |

not dimmed the enthusiasm and interests of this royal. | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
in the men's fours, while hhs fiance Natalie Melmore added anothdr silver | :14:09. | :14:09. | |
to her tally after a titanic battle in the pairs final this morning | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
Yesterday her fellow Kings Club bowler Sophie Tolchard took gold | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
Plymouth Leander swimmer Ben Proud is still | :14:15. | :14:30. | |
our most successful competitor with two golds and a bronze. | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
Divers Sarah Barrow and Tonha Couch took silver | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
in the women's synchronised 10m platform but missed out in | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
Another Torquay bowler Sam Tolchard took a bronze in the men's pairs. | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
Back in the pool Exeter's Lham Tancock took two bronzes | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
Lots of bowlers mentioned there let's cross live to | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
The rain has stopped so agahn is going on in the background. This is | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
the place to be forlorn bowls and on day eight of the | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
it has stopped so again is going on in | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
to be forlorn bowls and on day eight of the Commonwealth Games that have | :15:04. | :15:12. | |
in the men's fours. Here ard all the details of the action. Trailing by | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
six shots is not how you want to start a final but if anyone can turn | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
it around it is Natalie Mellore She did her best to keep England on top | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
against South Africa. Every time her opponents thought she had a chance | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
she would step up and knock back down. The South Africans would | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
not take no for an answer. They were in a position to take the thtle in | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
the very final end. Mel Moore had to knock out two of their thred bowls | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
and she delivered. She has saved the match. They went on to sudddn death | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
and the South Africans took the lead for the first time since thd halfway | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
mark. Could Natalie Melmore weave her magic again? Sadly not. Just | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
inches away from a gold med`l. A second single `` Silva for Natalie | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
and silver as well for her fiance as he could not help the England fours | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
team turn around a nine shot deficit as they lost to Scotland. They | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
played well but we were dis`ppointed in our own performance. We did not | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
play as well as we could. Whth all of the bowlers returning with the | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
medal it has been a successful Games for the Torquay club. | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
Sophie Tolchard won gold last and Natalie Melmore made it double | :16:44. | :16:54. | |
success by adding a silver ledal to the silver that she won earlier | :16:55. | :16:59. | |

It was a fine start and we played well. It was fantastic. A great way | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
to round off the Games. Have you enjoyed it? I have | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
loved it. experience being in the village and | :17:34. | :17:41. | |

experience. Natalie, you have two silver medals and you can close in | :17:51. | :18:18. | |
great game and I hope the spectators enjoyed it and we were very | :18:19. | :19:07. | |
medals whatever colour is a dream come true. | :19:08. | :20:05. | |
put us on the map and done wonders for bowls in the | :20:06. | :20:42. | |
up now and come out and plax bowls. What | :20:43. | :21:15. | |
effort from Stacey Mickelson, to send England into the final | :21:16. | :21:22. | |

Finally Devon long`distance runner Jo Pavey goes for gold | :21:25. | :21:31. | |

economy, as Andy Birkett reports. Bournemouth to Exeter, how hard can | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
that be? It depends round. They will start in Exmouth | :22:36. | :23:02. | |
