:00:11. > :00:12.Good evening. news where you are.

:00:13. > :00:15.It's hoped that Exeter's tr`ditional Christmas markets WILL manage to go

:00:16. > :00:19.ahead following the fire at the Royal Clarence Hotel.

:00:20. > :00:22.Talks are being held to find a way forward for the markets,

:00:23. > :00:27.despite much of the Cathedr`l Green still being cordoned off.

:00:28. > :00:34.The Cathedral itself is due to reopen to worshippers

:00:35. > :00:37.Meanwhile, heavy machinery has arrived

:00:38. > :00:39.to begin demolition work on the remains of the hotel.

:00:40. > :00:43.It was a challenge in itself to bring in the machinery

:00:44. > :00:47.which will take down the Royal Clarence hotel.

:00:48. > :00:50.And that's before demolition work even begins.

:00:51. > :00:56.Metered by meter, the high reach excavator edged into Cathedral Green

:00:57. > :00:58.with improvised cushioning, to help protect the lane

:00:59. > :01:05.The city continues to do its best to work around the cordons

:01:06. > :01:07.on the green and part of the high street.

:01:08. > :01:11.This firm of solicitors is relocating to a new, tempor`ry home.

:01:12. > :01:13.We've been allowed access to the office this morning,

:01:14. > :01:18.We've been able to collect client files where we need to work on them,

:01:19. > :01:19.essentially, or urgently, and collect together stationary

:01:20. > :01:24.transcription kits, things that allow us

:01:25. > :01:28.Four days since the fire began, the scene has been handed

:01:29. > :01:32.from the emergency services to Exeter City Council,

:01:33. > :01:39.paving the way for demolition work on the Royal Clarence to begin.

:01:40. > :01:42.That's likely to get under way tomorrow, contractors say.

:01:43. > :01:44.The Fire Service still expect to remain here for the rest

:01:45. > :01:48.of the week, damping down hotspots in the ruined hotel.

:01:49. > :01:51.Ordinarily, firefighters wotld go in, turn over the rubble, d`mp down,

:01:52. > :01:58.and ensure that be no hotspots and the fire wouldn't reignhte.

:01:59. > :02:01.Unfortunately we can't do that because of the building strtcture,

:02:02. > :02:04.so we're having to take a ddfensive approach and really wait

:02:05. > :02:08.for the hotspots to manifest and then extinguish them.

:02:09. > :02:10.There is now concerned about what will happen

:02:11. > :02:15.to Exeter's Christmas market, held on Cathedral Green,

:02:16. > :02:19.and the traditional and poptlar feature of festive city lifd.

:02:20. > :02:28.It's due to begin setting up here in two weeks' time.

:02:29. > :02:30.Nothing is that certain yet because, when the demolition work takes

:02:31. > :02:34.We'll know exactly what we're able to do.

:02:35. > :02:39.We've sat down today with the city council.

:02:40. > :02:43.It will go to planning, a ndw plan for how to lay out the markdt,

:02:44. > :02:44.and with pretty hopeful it will happen.

:02:45. > :02:47.Exeter City Council are working on reducing the size of the cordons

:02:48. > :02:50.on the green and the high street but some will inevitably relain

:02:51. > :02:57.The hope is to free up a considerable amount

:02:58. > :03:00.of Cathedral Green here, enough to allow access

:03:01. > :03:03.to the Cathedral and to restore a sense of some normality to

:03:04. > :03:09.An engineer from Historic England has visited the ruined hotel.

:03:10. > :03:13.The organisation says the hotel and nearby buildings created one

:03:14. > :03:15.of the most powerful and historic pieces of townscape

:03:16. > :03:20.It's calling in experts to record what remains, and see

:03:21. > :03:35.People in a hamlet in North Cornwall say despite hundreds of road

:03:36. > :03:39.accidents none of them are severe enough to be on the county council's

:03:40. > :03:46.accident blackspot list, me`ning they fear nothing will be done

:03:47. > :03:50.to halt the continuing string of bumps and scrapes.

:03:51. > :03:52.Residents of Knightsmill near St Teath say

:03:53. > :03:56.they believe that because all the accidents so far have bden

:03:57. > :03:58.fairly minor the problem's not being taken seriously.

:03:59. > :04:01.My car is over this side where these blocks are.

:04:02. > :04:04.And a car came down from Calelford, knocked the pole down

:04:05. > :04:12.One of them, weighing about half a tonne,

:04:13. > :04:17.Derek has lost count of the number of accidents he's witnessed

:04:18. > :04:20.outside his property in North Cornwall.

:04:21. > :04:25.I've lived there 43 years and we've had at least 300,

:04:26. > :04:28.more like 500 accidents over that period of time.

:04:29. > :04:36.I've had ten cars wrote off outside on my property.

:04:37. > :04:40.At night, locals say drivers can't see the bend opposite their

:04:41. > :04:48.This happened about three to four weeks ago.

:04:49. > :04:53.The extent of the damage is, as you can see, terrible.

:04:54. > :04:55.Just having the estimate in at roughly ?10,000.

:04:56. > :05:01.They are just missing the bridge, the cars, and if the traffic

:05:02. > :05:05.Accidents won't happen if wd can get this road slowed down.

:05:06. > :05:08.Cornwall Council says it pl`ns to renew road markings and signs

:05:09. > :05:17.but the location isn't on its list of 200 accident blackspots.

:05:18. > :05:19.I would think we're number one by the amount of accidents.

:05:20. > :05:22.There's been two people with broken backs.

:05:23. > :05:31.Because Saint Teath isn't on the 200 accident blackspot list,

:05:32. > :05:34.there could be a lot more accidents here before it's taken

:05:35. > :05:42.Christine Butler, BBC Spotlight, Saint Teath.

:05:43. > :05:45.Now here's a story that has been getting a lot of response

:05:46. > :05:49.Plymouth looks set to join luch of the South West by introdtcing

:05:50. > :06:04.The council says the move will increase recycling ratds

:06:05. > :06:07.Senior councillors will votd on the scheme next Tuesday.

:06:08. > :06:11.It's bin day in this part of Plymouth but these rounds probably

:06:12. > :06:18.And some people think that plans to get rid of these weekly

:06:19. > :06:28.It's going to be a bit tough because the bins will be full.

:06:29. > :06:32.The only problem I can find is that it makes a mess in

:06:33. > :06:35.We have been sheds, but it would still smell.

:06:36. > :06:37.Obviously, you would stack the bin bags are up,

:06:38. > :06:40.It's just going to create more problems,

:06:41. > :06:45.Councils will vote on the ndw scheme in the next week.

:06:46. > :06:48.It will mean we cycle bulls being picked up one week

:06:49. > :06:52.According to the woman in charge of bringing

:06:53. > :06:54.the same, there were similar concerns when they introducdd it

:06:55. > :07:05.For the first few months, people are unsure and that's

:07:06. > :07:08.where we just need to make sure that we are working with people

:07:09. > :07:11.We think this is the right step to take to get Plymouth

:07:12. > :07:13.in the right place, to incrdase recycling and make

:07:14. > :07:16.The project aims to save ?750,000 per year.

:07:17. > :07:19.But the Conservative leadership say the main goal is to make

:07:20. > :07:23.Currently, Plymouth's recycling rate is 33%, way below the

:07:24. > :07:38.Here in Plymouth, people rely heavily on a weekly in colldction.

:07:39. > :07:41.Areas such as this absolutely depend on it.

:07:42. > :07:44.Cutting it will mean more w`ste out in the streets, more fly-tipping,

:07:45. > :07:46.less hygiene, and that's something nobody wants.

:07:47. > :07:47.Meanwhile, the Conservatives running the council

:07:48. > :07:52.They're putting out leaflets against this,

:07:53. > :07:57.Don't put out leaflets that are against it.

:07:58. > :08:00.Come and work with others to see what you want for your area, work

:08:01. > :08:02.for your local people and gdt better service for your people.

:08:03. > :08:04.Most English councils are further down

:08:09. > :08:10.Three quarters already do it and some,

:08:33. > :08:37.and was nominated by staff, parents and pupils.

:08:38. > :08:41.He's not like other head te`chers, who sit in the office on a computer

:08:42. > :08:48.and you can actually see her and she's walking around

:08:49. > :08:52.she's really friendly to people will stop

:08:53. > :08:55.How much determination and how much passion she is put into one school
