We're back with the late news at ten. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Four members of the clergy in Holsworthy | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
are calling on health bosses to think again over their decision | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
to temporarily close their community hospital. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
The vicars have jointly written to the chief executive | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
of Northern Devon Health Care Trust demanding a rethink. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Holsworthy Hospital shut earlier this month. | :00:30. | :00:30. | |
There are now fears it may never reopen. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Mothering Sunday at Sutcombe church near Holsworthy. | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
But it's not just the welfare of mothers that's on the minds | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
of the congregation and the reverend Richard Freeman. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
He's one of four clergy to sign a letter to the Northern Devon | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Health Care Trust to protest at the closure of Holsworthy Hospital. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
His main concern is that his parishioners will have to travel | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
They're going to be in a place that they don't know, | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
surrounded by people they don't know, often isolated from the people | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
who love and care for them, because of the distances involved. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
That means at the end of their lives, when people | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
ought to be comforted, they're going to be alone, | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Hundreds have already protested at meetings about the closure. | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
The letter from the clergy expresses concern that the Northern Devon | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
Health Care NHS Trust chose to use emergency legislation to close | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
They say that they want to put the care in the community but how | :01:31. | :01:39. | |
can you imagine running around all these roads looking | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
It surely would be much better to have it all in one central | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
If someone's had treatment elsewhere and coming back to Holsworthy, | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
you need that stepping stone before you go home. | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
Well, I think it's disgusting in an area like this where there's | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
so many retired people, the hospital is urgently | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
The trust hasn't responded to the letter yet but many | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
in the Holsworthy parish hope it will reconsider the closure. | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was found | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
with significant head injuries near Exeter's Quay car park. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
The 29-year-old man was found in the early hours of this morning | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
and is now being treated at Plymouth's Derriford Hospital. | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
Police are trying to establish what happened and want to hear | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
MPs in the South West are calling for the Government to review | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
the DVLA's practice of selling drivers' details | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
The issue was debated in Parliament this week after three motorists, | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
who received fines in Torbay, complained to their local MP. | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
The Government has said it will hold futher talks with the industry. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
But a trade body which oversees private operators says the DVLA | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
will only pass on details to companies which have | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
We've had a greater number of members who have applied | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
Unfortunately, anybody who isn't willing to work within the confines | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
of our code of practice or engage to the high standards we require | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
On to football, and a great win for Plymouth Argyle as they beat | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
League Two leaders Doncaster Rovers in their top of the table | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
Sonny Bradley powered in a far post header | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
from a corner to earn the win, which takes the Pilgrims | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
It also puts Argyle 13 points off the play-off places with just | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
In rugby, the Cornish Pirates kept their play-off hopes | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
alive with five tries at the Mennaye Field this afternoon. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
They beat Doncaster Knights by 34 points to 17. | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
And finally, a Dorset museum designed to plunge | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
people into the sights, sounds, atmosphere and experience | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
The Castletown D-day Centre on Portland is a new visitor | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
attraction that offers an immersive experience, telling | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
the story of embarkation from a busy wartime dockyard. | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Thousands of troops, vehicles and equipment left | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
from slipways for the beaches of Normandy in June 1944. | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
A procession of GIs and vehicles marked the opening this weekend. | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
What we are trying to do is create an environment that gives | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
the visitor an impression of what it might have been like in April, May, | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
June of 1944, with the arrival of thousands and thousands | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
of American GIs and the impact that that had on the | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Well, the clocks have changed and British summertime has arrived - | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
Some amazing weather for Mother's Day and lots | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
of families out making the most of it at Seaton in South East | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
We've had a beautiful day across the South West. | :04:54. | :05:03. | |
We have that nagging breeze, but it'll keep us | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Largely clear skies, some cloud and perhaps mist too. | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
A chilly start tomorrow, we'll see the winds easing through the day. | :05:13. | :05:24. | |
Some more cloud feeding in, but with the lighter winds, | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
where you have sunshine, it will feel quite warm. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
Thereafter, I think more in the way of showers. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Particularly Tuesday, they could be quite heavy | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Staying warm, though turning cooler towards next weekend. | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
That's all for now. There's lots more on the website. I'll be back at | :05:44. | :05:56. | |
20 past 10pm. For the first time this year, the | :05:57. | :06:13. | |
temperature reached 20 Celsius, the highest recorded in Highland | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
Scotland, lovely picture from earlier on. We have seen | :06:19. | :06:19. |
