One of those relatives I spoke to today said the last 2.5 years have | :00:13. | :04:26. | |
been a roller`coaster, and they are pinning their hopes on this summit | :04:27. | :04:30. | |

from what really was, at every from what really was, at every | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
level, a devastating crash. This year's Easter break is being | :04:43. | :04:45. | |

period has been described as a success, but what about the crucial | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
high season months of July `nd August? Those promoting the region | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
say that this Easter break has been just the advert that they ndeded. | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
Given the publicity about the storms, what this week will mean as | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
tens of thousands of people going back and saying what a great time | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
they have had in Cornwall and in the greater region, saying that it is | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
still wonderful and beautiftl. People will go back, and that is the | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
People will go back, and th`t is the best sales force I could ask for, | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
happy customers who convincd the wider region that Cornwall is as | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
beautiful as ever. So it cotld be that this year were tourist season | :07:19. | :07:26. | |

admission to a psychiatric hospital, some have long waits for trdatment, | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
and people in crisis can't always get the help they need. Those are | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
among the findings of a report into mental health services in Devon. | :08:15. | :08:15. | |
mental health services in Ddvon However, inspectors also found staff | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
However, inspectors also fotnd staff at Devon Partnership Trust caring, | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
compassionate and committed and some services, outstanding. Here's our | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
Health Correspondent Sally Lountjoy. Health Correspondent Sally Mountjoy. | :08:22. | :08:39. | |
The Care Quality Commission sent 37 people over four days to carry out | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
the most rigorous inspection of conducted of Devon's mnental health | :08:43. | :08:43. | |
services including six hosphtals and services including six hospitals and | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
100 community services. The CQC identified more than a dozen | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
significant challenges for the Devon partnership trust, including patient | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
sent a long way from home for psychiatric intensive care or acute | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
hospital beds. Some patients were unable to get out of hours support | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
in a crisis and too many of them were taken to police stations or | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
accident and emergency. And long waits for psychological therapies. | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
We told them that they have got to improve key care, improve access, | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
and we have told them that they have got to reduce the numbers of people | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
who are going to police cells, when they should be with mental health | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
services. The CQC will come back at intervals to make sure that these | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
things happen. Devon Partnership Trust says that it is committed to | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
improving things for patients. Clearly, it is really important | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
people get services when thdy need them and as close to home as | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
possible, and particularly when you are in a state of distress. We're | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
working hard with partners to try and resolve this difficult problem. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
In the meantime, people do have access to services and they need to | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
contact their teams, the te`m is contact their teams, the team is | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
working with them to make stre contact their teams, the te`m is | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
working with them to make sure that working with them to make stre that | :09:49. | :09:49. | |
they are aware of all the arrangements we currently have in | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
place to support them. The CQC also found things to praise. It said | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
staff were caring, compassionate and committed. The trust was opdn | :09:57. | :09:57. | |
staff were caring, compassionate and committed. The trust was open and | :09:58. | :09:57. | |

disorders service and care for older people and people with learning | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
disabilities. It said priorhty must be given to providing hospital care | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
close to where people live. Mental health symptoms can be frightening | :10:17. | :10:29. | |
enough. If you then add into the mix being a long way from home, with | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
very little connection to friends and family, that are a big part of | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
someone's recovery, then yot're and family, that are a big part of | :10:35. | :10:35. | |
someone's recovery, then you're just someone's recovery, then yot're just | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
exacerbating the problem. It may be years before all the improvdments | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
are made but inspectors will be monitoring progress so that mental | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
health patients get treatment when and where they need it. Network Rail | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
is to pay up to ?16 million in compensation to rail and frdight | :10:52. | :10:52. | |
compensation to rail and freight companies for the disruption caused | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
by the closure of the line `t Dawlish. Trains were unable to run | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
for about two months after the line was severely damaged during the | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
storms in February. John Danks reports. When the rail line at | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
Dawlish reopened, we learned that it had cost ?35 million to rep`ir the | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
had cost ?35 million to repair the damage. Now, Network Rail h`s | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
damage. Now, Network Rail has revealed the compensation it stands | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
to pay rail companies could be as much as ?60 million. As we are | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
much as ?60 million. As we `re responsible for the track across the | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
country, every track is not there, as was the case in Dawlish, and | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
quite clearly, we're going to be some compensation to train | :11:26. | :11:26. | |
operators, the cause they will some compensation to train | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
operators, the cause they whll lose operators, the cause they will lose | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
money, because they are unable to run trains across that stretch of | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
track. First great Western said discussions were ongoing with | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
Network Rail and that no figure had been agreed. The train company laid | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
been agreed. The train comp`ny laid on 180 replacement buses a day while | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
the line was down, and offered refunds to affected customers. The | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
compensation system in the rail industry is designed to encourage | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
good performance. If the train operators cause delays, thex | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
good performance. If the tr`in operators cause delays, they must | :11:58. | :11:57. | |
operators cause delays, thex must pay network well, and in this | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
pay network well, and in thhs instance, Network Rail took the hit | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
because the light at Dawlish was their responsibility. In 2012, | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
flooding the Exeter cost Network Rail ?4.5 million in compensation. | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
The trains might be running again at Dawlish, but the bills for the | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
damage here, it seems, keep rolling in, too. Coming up later in the | :12:18. | :12:28. | |
programme. Fighting for survival. Find out why it will be a | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
make`or`break Easter weekend for two of the region's football sides. And | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
it's full steam ahead for a special weekend on this South Devon rail | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
line. The sign says it all. In 2007 all | :12:37. | :13:08. | |
the shops in Modbury stopped selling plastic carrier bags. It was done | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
over a matter of about four weeks. From beginning to end. We got the | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
date wrong, we stop using plastic bags. Then we had the Modbury bag, | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
that came out. Then, we have also that came out. Then, we have also | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
got our own bags, and peopld, I got our own bags, and peopld, I | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
think we educated people into using baskets and things like that. The | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
big problem with plastic bags is not just that they hang around `ges | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
making the place look messy, like this book in Modbury, they are | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
making the place look messy, like this book in Modbury, they `re good | :13:48. | :13:47. | |
at finding their way to deceive. this book in Modbury, they are good | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
at finding their way to deceive. And while water is a great life giver, | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
these things are anything btt. Once these things are anything btt. Once | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
in water, plastic bags pose a huge threat to wildlife, causing | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
countless deaths. So bearing this in mind, to the trailblazers in Modbury | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
think that the European Parliament decision is a good thing? I think | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
so, because then of liberty would follow suit and nobody would think | :14:12. | :14:12. | |
any different when they go into follow suit and nobody would think | :14:13. | :14:13. | |
any different when they go hnto one any different when they go into one | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
shot that this charging for banks, and then when the shop does not give | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
you any other bags at all. Xou have you any other bags at all. You have | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
just got to take a shopping bag shopping with you. The ban on bags | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
in Modbury was the result result of in Modbury was the result rdsult of | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
a voluntary agreement between a voluntary agreement betwedn | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
shopkeepers. Now the Europe`n Parliament has agreed to set a more | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
stringent target to reduce the use of plastic bags, but to allow member | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
states to impose compulsory ban on the most polluting type of bag where | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
they see fit. Where Modbury leech, it seems, Europe follows. People in | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
Newton are calling for government money promised for repairs to storm | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
damage to be made available. This evening, people have held a rally on | :15:05. | :15:16. | |
new and green. The sign says, give us back our beach, and in Newlyn, | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
people want the promenade b`ck, us back our beach, and in Ndwlyn, | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
people want the promenade back, as people want the promenade b`ck, as | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
well. People have called for urgent action to make the permanent repairs | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
needed. We have a beautiful place and it relies solely on tourism and | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
we cannot expect tourists come down and see this. Who wants to come and | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
see this and their money? The damaged happened over two wdeks in | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
damaged happened over two weeks in February, as huge seas undermined | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
the sea wall. Local businesses say that it has affected trading. For a | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
number of weeks, it seemed that to anyone walking along the promenade, | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
it seemed as if it was closd, you so it seemed as if it was close, you so | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
you had to turn around and walk back again. Some progress has been | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
you had to turn around and walk back again. Some progress has bedn made | :16:00. | :16:00. | |
again. Some progress has been made and the path is now open ag`in, | :16:01. | :16:01. | |
again. Some progress has bedn made and the path is now open again, but | :16:02. | :16:01. | |
and the path is now open ag`in, but it has taken two months to do that | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
and we are at the point now where it should have been within a few | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
and we are at the point now where it should have been within a fdw days | :16:08. | :16:07. | |
should have been within a few days of the storm. There is no rdason why | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
of the storm. There is no reason why it could not have been as open then | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
as it is right now. Around 30 locals are been helping clean up the area, | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
and a petition has been signed. There was lots of debris lyhng | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
There was lots of debris lying around. Now, through people power, | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
the influence of people, th`t allows the influence of people, that allows | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
me to go to the council, and we have been able to do a lot in thd | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
me to go to the council, and we have been able to do a lot in the last | :16:37. | :16:36. | |
been able to do a lot in thd last couple of days. Cornwall Council's | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
couple of days. Cornwall Cotncil's leaders said that apart from | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
emergency repairs, no for the work can be carried out, until money | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
promised by the Government is promised by the Government hs | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
received. It added that the council cannot spend money that it does not | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
have. The Easter period is ` busy one for sport and the south`west. | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
There could be one or two relegation issues settled for the region's | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
football clubs. With that and the rest of the key events over the | :17:06. | :17:08. | |

be showing off the different types of trains and services that were so | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
popular in a bygone age. We took a ride from Buckfastleigh to Totnes, | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
to see why erupts team still fascinates so many. `` why the era | :21:37. | :21:45. | |
of steam. The steam train is, for many, a living creature, a | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
fascinating piece of machindry. People working here say that their | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
office is seven miles long, from Buckfastleigh, the top this. The | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
train is really lovely. It is so train is really lovely. It hs so | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
picturesque. As a kid, I was interested in it, and it stays with | :22:06. | :22:07. | |

the history of it, when you realise we are in a royal carriage, it is | :22:13. | :22:13. | |
quite exciting. The South Ddvon quite exciting. The South Devon | :22:14. | :22:20. | |

Colin is one of them. He st`rted Colin is one of them. He st`rted | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
working here in 1963. It is something different, unique. What | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
was an everyday occurrence, is now something special. Another | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
volunteer, John, is living his dream. As a little boy I watched | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
steam trains and all my life, I steam trains and all my life, I | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
wanted to work with them. And it took me 61 years. Before I could | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
actually work on a railway. My father said, there was no money in | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
it, so I had to go and be a plumber. And after 61 years I managed to get | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
to where I wanted to be, as a boy. This weekend there is a four`day | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
gala, celebrating the biggest users in bygone days, great. They would | :23:12. | :23:16. | |

like the Somerset Levels could get like the Somerset Levels could get | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
down to three Celsius. That is the forecast for the middle of the day | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
tomorrow. High pressure is back in charge, still with us on Saturday, | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
but we haven't on the usual direction for an area of low | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
pressure, coming across from pressure, coming across frol | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
northern Italy, moving across Europe, drifting into the eastern | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
side of Britain, by the timd we get to the middle of Sunday, so a change | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
to cloudy, breezy conditions on Sunday. The first half of the day | :25:02. | :25:06. | |

that cloud, in a little more detail, we have some spots of rain coming | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
out of that band of cloud. Overnight tonight, keeping that blankdt of | :25:19. | :25:20. | |

born, we have clear sports coming into northern parts of Devon, but | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
the most of us, temperatures holding up quite well, at around six | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
Celsius. Tomorrow, cloudy start with the cloud quickly breaking to allow | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
the sunshine through. It will be nice with warm sunshine to dnjoy. | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
There is enough temperature contrast between the sea surface temperature | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
and the land and generate an onshore sea breeze, so a lot of the | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
coastline will struggle with temperatures, at around 11 Celsius, | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
and it is in land that we sde the and it is in land that we see the | :26:01. | :26:05. | |

particularly Sunday evening, quite wet with outbreaks of rain settling | :26:55. | :26:59. | |

Mundy itself is cloudy with outbreaks of rain. We will have to | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
