:00:59. > :01:02.review, Spotlight has learned. The move is part of the council's
:01:03. > :01:11.efforts to find millions of pounds of austerity savings. There are 23
:01:12. > :01:14.homes in Devon, caring for almost 400 frail and vulnerable people. The
:01:15. > :01:15.charity Age UK has expressed alarm. Our correspondent Simon Hall

:01:31. > :01:38.because of the austerity cuts. `` Devon county council's search for
:01:39. > :01:41.cost savings. Demand for residential care has been
:01:42. > :01:45.falling, according to the council, as more older people are given
:01:46. > :01:52.support to stay in their own homes. That has led to a review of all 20
:01:53. > :01:55.three `` 23 council homes in Devon. Around 360 people live in them. The
:01:56. > :02:01.council says no womble have removed out, but the review has `` the
:02:02. > :02:06.council says no one will have to move out but the review has raised
:02:07. > :02:10.concerns. There will be an `` concern among residents and their
:02:11. > :02:13.families, because the uncertainty has come back onto the agenda.
:02:14. > :02:19.We went through this a few years ago and it came to not then. Devon

:02:24. > :02:31.invested in care for those with dementia and specialist homes for

:02:40. > :02:42.care homes and families will be kept fully informed. No one from the
:02:43. > :02:44.council was available for interview. A statement said that
:02:45. > :02:49.anyone needing residential care would continue to be supported by
:02:50. > :02:55.the council. We want to develop extra housing, the statement said,
:02:56. > :03:00.in order to meet the growing complexity and increasing demands of

:03:05. > :03:08.vaccinated in West Cornwall as part of a programme aimed at curbing TB
:03:09. > :03:12.in cattle. The six year scheme involves a pilot taking place on
:03:13. > :03:14.five farms. The aim is to expand vaccinations across the Penwith
:03:15. > :03:17.peninsula. Our environment correspondent, Adrian Campbell,
:03:18. > :03:21.joins me now in the studio. This is in its very early stages at
:03:22. > :03:30.the moment. Yes, very early. They have vaccinated for badgers so
:03:31. > :03:34.far. `` four badgers. They are starting in the far west and they
:03:35. > :03:38.are hoping to strike over the whole peninsula. They have to capture the
:03:39. > :03:43.badgers, vaccinate them and release them back into the wild. Obviously
:03:44. > :03:49.this will take time. Professor Rosie Woodruff is in charge of all this.
:03:50. > :03:53.The hope is, should we get funding, that this will become more like 50
:03:54. > :03:58.square kilometres, much eager area next year, and over the next few
:03:59. > :04:01.years expanding to the full 200 square kilometres of Penrith and
:04:02. > :04:06.maintaining that for five years. A seven`year programme in total. I
:04:07. > :04:11.know that the local MP Andrew George is taking a close interest, why is
:04:12. > :04:15.he so team`2`macro he believes that local farmers would not be keen on a
:04:16. > :04:17.badger cull. He is keen on the idea of
:04:18. > :04:23.vaccination because he believes it is the right way to go. The
:04:24. > :04:27.government's policy runs the high risk of making the situation worse,
:04:28. > :04:31.we know at least with vaccination that it runs a good likelihood of
:04:32. > :04:37.making the situation better and cannot make the situation worse.
:04:38. > :04:40.There are others, though, who say that vaccination is just a
:04:41. > :04:45.distraction and they would rather see the cull we have seen in
:04:46. > :04:49.Somerset and Gloucestershire. Yes, we contacted the National farmers
:04:50. > :04:54.union today. They pointed to what has happened in Wales. They say at
:04:55. > :04:57.best it is only 65% effective, this type of vaccination. They think it
:04:58. > :05:02.is more cost`effective to have a cull and they would prefer that. It
:05:03. > :05:10.is fair to say that people involved in the vaccination project would
:05:11. > :05:14.take issue with that. The high price of metal has led to a
:05:15. > :05:17.boom in the theft of catalytic converters from cars and vans.
:05:18. > :05:23.Nearly 1,000 have been stolen in Devon and Cornwall over the past
:05:24. > :05:26.three years. Spotlight's Andrea Ormsby has been to meet a victim of
:05:27. > :05:33.the crime in Devon. This garage is the oldest in
:05:34. > :05:37.Britain. In 1815, it made carriages and has been repairing motor cars
:05:38. > :05:42.ever since. Last month it was the scene of a very modern crime.
:05:43. > :05:51.We take any catalytic converters off of scrap cars as they have some
:05:52. > :05:56.value. They contain precious metals, rhodium and platinum among them.
:05:57. > :06:01.Over two years, they collected nearly 100 catalytic converters.
:06:02. > :06:04.We came in one weekend and the store had been broken into, the locks
:06:05. > :06:08.broken and the catalytic converters and a few other items along with
:06:09. > :06:13.them were all gone. This is a catalytic converter from
:06:14. > :06:22.quite an old car. This would be around the year 2000. It's value is
:06:23. > :06:25.probably around ?25, maybe 30. But on a more expensive car they are
:06:26. > :06:28.worth around ?80 or more in scrap value.
:06:29. > :06:33.A BBC investigation has found thefts of catalytic converters have more
:06:34. > :06:38.than doubled in the past three years, with almost 25,000 reported
:06:39. > :06:43.to police across the country. In Devon and Cornwall, nearly 1000 have
:06:44. > :06:47.been stolen in that period. Unfortunately, we live in a society
:06:48. > :06:51.where if you can get something for nothing there is an element of
:06:52. > :06:54.people out there quite willing to do that. Although some catalytic
:06:55. > :07:03.converters might get ?80 in scrap, for the victim it could be more than
:07:04. > :07:06.1000 to replace. David Cameron has asked President
:07:07. > :07:09.Putin for prompt, fair and proportionate action in the case of
:07:10. > :07:12.the 30 Greenpeace activists being held for hoolganism. Three of the
:07:13. > :07:15.group being detained are from Devon. Journalist Kieron Bryan, along with
:07:16. > :07:18.activists Iain Rogers and Alexandra Harris, were with Greenpeace
:07:19. > :07:21.protesting over oil drilling in the Artic. President Putin was said to
:07:22. > :07:27.understand the concerns, and the two leaders have agreed to stay in touch
:07:28. > :07:31.on the issue. Plans to offer a discount on fuel to
:07:32. > :07:35.motorists living in some rural areas are to be delayed. Lynton in Devon
:07:36. > :07:39.is one of ten locations earmarked for the discount, and the only one
:07:40. > :07:42.in the South West. However other areas have now complained they were
:07:43. > :07:52.overlooked and the government says it is reconsidering the scheme.
:07:53. > :07:55.A deal has been done over the pay and conditions of workers who would
:07:56. > :07:58.help build Hinkley C. The agreement's been drawn up between
:07:59. > :08:01.EDF Energy and two unions. It covers electrical and mechanical workers on
:08:02. > :08:04.the planned new nuclear power station. Unions say it guarantees at
:08:05. > :08:14.least 500 apprenticeships during the construction.
:08:15. > :08:20.Walk down Union Street in Plymouth and you can't miss the Palace
:08:21. > :08:23.Theatre. In its heyday, it was home to stars such as Charlie Chaplin,
:08:24. > :08:26.Laurel and Hardy, and Morecambe and Wise. Since its closure as a
:08:27. > :08:29.nightclub in 2006 the building has seemingly been left to rot. But,
:08:30. > :08:32.behind the facade, restoration work has been taking place all year. It
:08:33. > :08:34.has finally been made watertight, and our reporter, Louise Walter, was
:08:35. > :08:41.given access to the building. The brass plates in the pavement
:08:42. > :08:45.outside, and dusty images of the greats who appeared here. The only
:08:46. > :08:54.clues still in place to the Palace Theatre's illustrious past.
:08:55. > :08:57.I actually once appeared in the stage in the chorus of a pantomime.
:08:58. > :09:02.Even the BBC's own Angela Rippon trod the boards.
:09:03. > :09:06.I have to admit I am unashamedly sentimental about this place. This
:09:07. > :09:09.is the main body of the theatre... You can still glimpse that grandeur
:09:10. > :09:15.here today ` but more clearly the sheer volume of work that needs
:09:16. > :09:18.doing. This area was flooded out, totally
:09:19. > :09:21.wet. It has caused a lot of damage. Dave Welsh is the man behind the
:09:22. > :09:27.Palace Project ` a not`for`profit company trying to return this
:09:28. > :09:31.theatre to its former glory. As you can see over there, the
:09:32. > :09:35.plaster has been totally ruined on that edge. However, it has not been
:09:36. > :09:41.on that site, so we have experts who have offered to come in and mould
:09:42. > :09:44.from that to rebuild this site. What is your vision for this space
:09:45. > :09:48.command the vision is to turn it into a community theatre.
:09:49. > :09:55.`` what is your vision for this space? We want to turn it into a
:09:56. > :10:00.splendid old palace. This takes you up to the blue room,
:10:01. > :10:03.there at the moment our intention is to put it right and turn it into a
:10:04. > :10:07.rest grant. At the moment all the floors have to
:10:08. > :10:15.come up and the ceiling has to be prepared. `` repaired.
:10:16. > :10:18.But this is a listed building ` a factor which has to be at the heart
:10:19. > :10:21.of the refurbishment. Everything we wanted to do it will
:10:22. > :10:24.be twice as much money to do it, twice as long to do it and we have
:10:25. > :10:28.to have English Heritage involved all the way. They have been helpful,
:10:29. > :10:31.they have come along, they have no funds to give us at the moment but
:10:32. > :10:36.they have given us some of direct 30s, and I can't see it being a
:10:37. > :10:39.problem. `` they have given some of their expertise.
:10:40. > :10:42.But what is a problem is cash. The Palace Project thinks it could
:10:43. > :10:46.cost up to ?10 million to complete the work, including buying the
:10:47. > :10:49.freehold. It is hoping to win grant money, but also that social media
:10:50. > :10:54.will prove a useful source. They have already found volunteers that
:10:55. > :10:59.way. We have a lot of people coming in
:11:00. > :11:05.with the Facebook page we have set up asking how to get involved. We
:11:06. > :11:09.are working with a local company called Crown Funding, setting up a
:11:10. > :11:13.website for us so that we can have a way for the locals to put some money
:11:14. > :11:21.into the project and benefit the project itself.
:11:22. > :11:25.But there is an issue. Dave was found guilty of fraud in
:11:26. > :11:29.2009 and was sentenced to five years and three months in jail.
:11:30. > :11:33.First of all, we have done all this without going asking people for
:11:34. > :11:38.money, so we're not trying to deprive people with cash. The other
:11:39. > :11:41.thing is, we don't want people coming in with buckets of money
:11:42. > :11:44.saying we have raised this come everything will go through a bank
:11:45. > :11:46.account and be audited. There will be an accounts manager and
:11:47. > :11:50.everything will be done so it can be seen upfront.
:11:51. > :11:53.The vision is that this will become a people's Palace, restored and run
:11:54. > :11:56.for the benefit of the community. There is a public meeting tonight
:11:57. > :12:05.for anyone interested in getting involved.
:12:06. > :12:08.An amazing building. Coming up, the online campaign to save a famous

:12:52. > :12:54.women in business in the South West and looking at what they actually
:12:55. > :12:56.need. There is so much in the press at the moment about glass ceilings
:12:57. > :12:58.and diversity in boardrooms, but does that just apply to the
:12:59. > :13:00.south`east or is it something that is nationwide?

:13:09. > :13:11.for Cornwall's only preserved steam railway. The Bodmin and Wenford line
:13:12. > :13:14.has reached an important milestone by securing a 35`year long lease
:13:15. > :13:17.from Cornwall Council. It is the first time there's been a longer

:13:21. > :13:23.The future of a former boathouse once used by coastguards as a base
:13:24. > :13:28.to track smugglers is heading all the way to the High Court. A group
:13:29. > :13:31.of people in Budleigh Salterton are so angry over plans to redevelop the
:13:32. > :13:35.building now used as a cafe, they're funding their own legal challenge.
:13:36. > :13:41.Hamish Marshall reports. On a damp autumn day, the Longboat
:13:42. > :13:45.doesn't look worthy of such a fuss. The owner wants to extend his
:13:46. > :13:48.season. The cafe would be revamped downstairs and a restaurant would be
:13:49. > :13:51.added on the first floor. These plans were approved by East Devon
:13:52. > :13:56.District Council last year but that decision is being challenged in the
:13:57. > :13:58.High Court. Protesters say the council didn't follow correct
:13:59. > :14:03.procedure. They want to save the Longboat in its current form.
:14:04. > :14:08.It is a garage. It is a boathouse. It is a very utilitarian building,
:14:09. > :14:11.but if you look at the plans you actually find it was built with
:14:12. > :14:17.loving care with a lot more attention to detail than a simple
:14:18. > :14:20.garden shed really demands. Somebody must have thought this was a very
:14:21. > :14:23.important building when they built it.
:14:24. > :14:26.That was in the 1870's ` it stored the coastguard boat which stopped
:14:27. > :14:29.smuggling and also rescued mariners. But while the nearby coastguard
:14:30. > :14:31.cottages were listed, the boathouse wasn't. The well`known
:14:32. > :14:35.archaeologist, Mark Horton, is against the plans, while Natural
:14:36. > :14:41.England has listed concerns over the new buildings' sustainability.
:14:42. > :14:47.But not everyone in Budleigh is against it. Sharon Raybock and her
:14:48. > :14:53.husband run a bed and breakfast and cookery school. She says the town
:14:54. > :14:58.needs to move on. Budleigh Salterton lacks a lot of
:14:59. > :15:01.restaurants and some have closed in the past so it would be good for the
:15:02. > :15:05.town to have a new facility. Not only for people in the town, but to
:15:06. > :15:09.bring new people to the town, which is critical. I have been speaking to
:15:10. > :15:13.the owner. He did not want to do an interview
:15:14. > :15:17.on camera but told me the planning process has taken seven years and he
:15:18. > :15:22.is anxious for Freddie's result to come. What ever the High Court
:15:23. > :15:26.decides, he says he will abide by it. `` he is anxious for Friday's

:19:23. > :19:28.effort have a reserve of around ?1500. This one was created and
:19:29. > :19:36.designed by an adult education teacher at South Devon...
:19:37. > :19:41.This one was made by the celebrity crafter Kirstie Allsopp.
:19:42. > :19:46.27 are here tonight and two smaller ones, as well. One of the others
:19:47. > :19:51.will stay at Paignton Zoo. Back in July, that was around the time
:19:52. > :19:55.people decided they wanted to have a look at these wonderful creatures
:19:56. > :20:00.dotted around the landscape of Exeter and Torbay. 50,000 leaflets
:20:01. > :20:06.were published and in almost two weeks they managed to complete the
:20:07. > :20:10.amount that was sent out. They had to reprint it again, such was the
:20:11. > :20:13.popularity of people wanting to go gorilla spotting. Plenty of people
:20:14. > :20:17.have arrived for the auction tonight, amongst them Malcolm, who
:20:18. > :20:21.already has his eye on something he wants to bid for. Why have you
:20:22. > :20:27.decided to come here and which has caught your attention? We have seen
:20:28. > :20:30.the gorillas are rent Exeter, but I like skins, or Mr bumble, that are
:20:31. > :20:36.the ones I am looking for. It is an early Christmas present for my wife.
:20:37. > :20:42.A bit of a surprise to you, isn't it two shock, perhaps ` I was looking
:20:43. > :20:46.for a handbag! Where will it all back home? It will
:20:47. > :20:50.go back to Exeter if we get one. Let's meet the man whose idea ``
:20:51. > :20:55.lets meet the person whose idea it was to bring this idea to fruition.
:20:56. > :20:58.We have been overwhelmed by the response, we knew it would be
:20:59. > :21:01.popular but we did not know how mini people would follow the trail and
:21:02. > :21:05.engage with it. We had a competition to spot
:21:06. > :21:11.gorillas. Lots of different people from all
:21:12. > :21:15.ages have followed the trail, but probably one of the best stories
:21:16. > :21:22.from the event was a little boy aged seven, autistic, saw one of them for
:21:23. > :21:26.the first time and it has changed his life. What is lurking behind the
:21:27. > :21:32.black grape? That would be Darth Vader.
:21:33. > :21:37.There you go, hopefully the force is with us tonight so that his menacing
:21:38. > :21:43.steer looks out onto the bidders who will hopefully dig deep into the
:21:44. > :21:46.pockets to raise money for conservation charities ensuring the
:21:47. > :21:50.future for the gorilla. Which would you prefer, a handbag or
:21:51. > :21:57.a gorilla? Handbag, I think.
:21:58. > :22:00.It has dominated the skyline of Newquay since Victorian times but
:22:01. > :22:03.there are concerns a famous landmark in the resort may not make it
:22:04. > :22:06.through another winter. The plight of the Huer's Hut was
:22:07. > :22:09.highlighted after a pictures of it in a state of disrepair was posted
:22:10. > :22:14.online. As Leigh Rundle reports, there's now a growing campaign to
:22:15. > :22:18.save it perched high above the bay, the Huer's Hut is to Newquay what
:22:19. > :22:23.black full tower is to Blackpool. But it has fallen to sad repair.
:22:24. > :22:27.This is one of Newquay boss Michael biggest icons.
:22:28. > :22:30.To have it like this come it is photographed by so many people.
:22:31. > :22:34.It is disgusting. A picture of the crumbling hut
:22:35. > :22:37.appeared on Facebook and in than less a week locals were out
:22:38. > :22:41.campaigning for a restoration programme.
:22:42. > :22:49.We pay our council tax. We do not think she will get through the
:22:50. > :22:52.winter with the state she is in now. The hut is a relic from the mid`19th
:22:53. > :23:02.century when Newquay was little more than a village. Here, huers watched
:23:03. > :23:08.for the arrival of boats, directing them to the shore. They have said it
:23:09. > :23:12.is not derelict enough to warrant support gets so I am working with
:23:13. > :23:15.officers to try and secure the money, then we will look at
:23:16. > :23:19.long`term arrangements for it. This former lookout is now being
:23:20. > :23:25.watched over of this `` by descendants of the same community at
:23:26. > :23:29.once helped to feed. Onto the weather, before we look
:23:30. > :23:34.ahead, a look back, David? Yes, we will look at October's
:23:35. > :23:38.statistics in the South West of England. We will start with rainfall
:23:39. > :23:43.which has been particularly heavy. To give only the last couple of
:23:44. > :23:50.weeks of October. The average is 102 millimetres, but in October we have
:23:51. > :23:56.seen 186 millimetres. With all the cloud and rain, sunshine is down,
:23:57. > :24:01.the average is just shy of 110 hours, but we actually recorded 99
:24:02. > :24:06.hours. Temperatures were above average. We did not see any frost at
:24:07. > :24:13.all during October. On the left is the average temperatures, and it was
:24:14. > :24:19.quite warm, 14 Celsius the daytime average, 10 Celsius the night`time
:24:20. > :24:23.temperature. With all that rain you would expect what levels to come up,
:24:24. > :24:29.but we are still suffering from a relatively dry summer. West `` this
:24:30. > :24:36.time last year reservoirs were only 97% full, the last time I looked
:24:37. > :24:43.reservoirs were only 74% full. Let's look at the forecast. We have a much
:24:44. > :24:47.better day tomorrow, much brighter, winds are lighter, but it will feel
:24:48. > :24:50.older. We will have some sunshine but we will have two wrap`up
:24:51. > :24:56.one`way, quite a drop in temperatures. This is producing the
:24:57. > :25:05.wet weather we have had at the moment. 50 mph along the coast wall
:25:06. > :25:12.in Devon `` along the coast in Cornwall and Devon. This low is
:25:13. > :25:16.moving, taking the strength of wind with it but also taking the rain
:25:17. > :25:20.come as well, by the morning most of us having a dry start with some
:25:21. > :25:25.sunshine, the exception is in the Channel Islands where the rain will
:25:26. > :25:30.continue until lunchtime. Into Friday, each of sunshine and
:25:31. > :25:33.blustery showers, winds still westerly and feeling generally cold.
:25:34. > :25:35.This is the structure of cloud we have seen in the last few hours,
:25:36. > :25:40.more persistent rain this evening some heavy, but clearing out of the
:25:41. > :25:46.way and by dawn tomorrow morning the last bits of the rain clearing from
:25:47. > :25:49.the note `` Dorset coast. Enough clearing to drop the temperatures
:25:50. > :25:54.just into single figures, eight or nine Celsius. A much better day
:25:55. > :25:58.tomorrow, some sunshine, winds are much lighter, some showers to spoil
:25:59. > :26:05.the day but they are fairly isolated for much of the day. For most of us
:26:06. > :26:11.it will be a dry day, Calder air, temperatures struggling up to 12
:26:12. > :26:14.Celsius axed `` as the maximum. `` more cold air. Times of high water
:26:15. > :26:27.at Penzance... Big waves for the sufferers and a
:26:28. > :26:33.little bit clean, still under chubby side, the north Coast will be up to
:26:34. > :26:38.six feet and choppy, C temperatures coming down, between 14 and 15
:26:39. > :26:43.Celsius. Winds are mainly from the West tomorrow, force for, five,
:26:44. > :26:49.showers and generally good visibility. More showers to come on
:26:50. > :26:52.Friday and Saturday, and for remembrance Sunday it looks like it
:26:53. > :26:56.will be cloudy, slightly warmer, but patchy drizzle throughout the day
:26:57. > :27:00.and becoming windy again. Good evening.
:27:01. > :27:03.I will be back with the headlines just before 8pm, hope you can join
:27:04. > :27:06.me for that. From all of us on the Spotlight
:27:07. > :27:09.team, have a lovely evening. Good night.
