Thousands of pounds are to be invested in CCTV

Cornwall already has a state-of-the-art CCTV hub provided

by the Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service.

We are at the nerve centre of CCTV near Camborne,

but we can see Truro, Hale, Penryn, Camborne,

Halston, Penzance and Redruth all in one room.

When police officers are faced with a challenging

situation, if there's CCTV there it is like having a second

officer looking over your shoulder and if we identify medical

emergencies through the CCTV, we can activate the Ambulance Service very

It is this ability that has attracted the police and crime

commission who are now offering to help pay for similar systems.

I am very much interested to see how we can create similar hubs in Devon

so that we can help with their monitoring.

I am also still heavily involved in connecting up more

Celebrations have been underway across Cornwall today

One of the main gatherings was in Truro, with a parade

It's a traditional Cornish celebration with flags,

They've all been practising hard for their big day.

How long have you been practising, learning to do this?

We are celebrating Cornwall and tin mining.

After some heavy showers for today and strong winds, we have the

potential for further wet and windy conditions tonight. A weather front

is heading its way towards us but there is uncertainty. There is the

risk for severe gales for the far west of Cornwall. Also a wet start

for many tomorrow. Even a bit of sleet and snow across the moors. The

bulk of the rain moves into France. Showers could be heavy but

interspersed with sunshine. Highs of nine or 10 degrees. Another band of

rain moves in for Tuesday, after that it is cloudy and dapper but

milder. That is all for this weekend. From us all, have a good

weekend, goodbye. Good evening. We have seen all sorts

today. Some rain, some hail, some snow and even a bit of sunshine.

Things are calming down for the most part but still a bit damp in some

eastern counties overnight and some showers in the western side of

Scotland with a touch of frost already here. And another weather

system bring rain and snow towards the south-west by dawn, it's quite

chilly 3-5 will be fairly typical. A little snow to be had over the tops

of the moors in the south-west of England but generally a lot of rain.

Not a great commute. Some might fringe nooted south of
