The South West has been told it could do better when it comes | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
The head of Visit Britain, Sally Balcombe, says the region's | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
economy is missing out on the untapped market because 18-35 | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
year olds don't know what's on offer at the region's coastal resorts, | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Kirk England is in Tiverton, where Sally Balcombe | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
The South West is already incredibly popular with lots of visitors. We do | :00:33. | :00:46. | |
get our fair share of surfers and a stag and hen dos. But are we missing | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
a trick when it comes to this crucial and 35 market? That's what's | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
been discussed at this tourism conference in Tiverton. Sally Bolcom | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
is the chief executive of Visit Britain and Visit England. We | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
missing out? I think we are. I think there's been a good recent research | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
by the Coastal Academy done, but shows that this group recognised a | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
few places in Britain. Brighton, Blackpool and Cornwall have come | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
through. But other areas are not getting the cut through with | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
audience. What about these services, stag and hen dos, we must get plenty | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
of under 35s? You do, but in certain honeypot places. Cornwall does | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
particularly well. Perhaps Devon and Somerset are not doing as well with | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
that audience. And this audience have a massive choice in a | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
competitive environment. They can get from a plane very easily and go | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
somewhere exciting and different. It is a challenging environment and | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
lots of opportunity to do more. So more tempted to jump on a plane and | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
go to Prague for a couple of nights? Potentially there are some transport | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
challenges. It takes time to get here. They have a short amount of | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
time. They want to be connected all the time with broadband. They want | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
to share on social media. All of these challenges for the South West. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Lots of challenges for businesses in the South West to tackle together | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
crucial under 35 market. We will have more tonight and Spotlight. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
White thank you. Two men have been killed in a car | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
crash on the A39 near Truro. The accident happened | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
at about 10:30 last The driver and one passenger, | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
both in their 40s and from Truro, The other passenger has | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
a serious leg injury. One of the first "nature schools" | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
in the country could be The Devon Wildlife Trust says it | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
wants to develop a different type of learning for three to eleven year | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
olds as part of the Government's But it's not the only group | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
wanting to establish a new school in the town, | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
as our Environment Correspondent, We're going to do a little bit | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
of an explore of nature! Outdoor learning can | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
inspire children. Everyone go onto that | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
end and stand together. The Devon Wildlife Trust is already | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
working with a school in Exeter, where staff say they value the idea | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
of building nature and the environment | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
into the curriculum. I get a huge pleasure from seeing | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
the children outdoors because you see them focused, | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
and the concentration You see them talking to completely | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
different friendship groups than they might work | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
with in classrooms. You see the girls being | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
really adventurous. And I think that's | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
a really positive thing. The Wildlife Trust plans | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
to set up one of the These are schools that can be set up | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
by groups such charities, They're funded by central | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
government, but they don't have to follow the national curriculum | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
and are independent The Trust says nature helps teach | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
subjects such as maths and science. There's no subject that | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
you can't teach with the help You can look at the structure | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
of a flower or a leaf, and you can teach basic principles | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
of geometry along that. Some critics say free schools take | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
away resources from other schools. There's at least one other proposal | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
for a new school in Okehampton. It involves a partnership | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
to establish a Church of England primary and nursery school, | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
with strong emphasis Now, if you see smoke coming | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
from Plymouth's Civic Centre and a huge emergency response | :04:20. | :04:30. | |
this weekend, don't be alarmed - The largest fire drill ever held | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
in Devon is taking place will see 15 fire fighters involved | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
in tackling a simulated blaze It's to help test the procedures | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
for tackling fires in the region's increasing number of | :04:41. | :04:51. | |
high rise buildings. It was the biggest fire to his post | :04:52. | :05:03. | |
for Plymouth. Dingles department store, 1988. Since then, the city's | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
skyline has only gone one way and that's. As the buildings get taller, | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
the challenges or the Fire Service increase popular if you have a look | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
round our major cities in the country, especially the South West, | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
we have more and more high-rise buildings being built, mainly for | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
student accommodation, high-rise lap. We need to be prepared and | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
aware of the internal structures of these buildings. Plymouth today | :05:30. | :05:39. | |
looks skywards as well as seawards. The new council houses are worth up | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
to the minute as elsewhere... At 14 floors Gemili Civic Centre used to | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
be the city's tallest Olding. It stood empty for a couple of years, | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
that this weekend it will be the centre of the largest fire drill | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
staged. If you can imagine coming into here. If every dark. It's going | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
to be very smoky. Fireman Steve Anderson has been working on turning | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
the building into every firefighter's worst nightmare. We | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
have a few surprises in law, but I'm sure they'll be able to cope with | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
anything that's thrown at them on the day. On Sunday morning smoke | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
will billow down the empty corridors will stop sirens will sound the | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
actors will scream and fired cruise from as far as Yeovil and | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
Bridgewater will swing into action. A pensioner from Devon has raised | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
thousands of pounds for charity Paper boy David Rickard gives | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
all his earnings to charity, and plans to keep going | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
as long as he can. Eleanor Parkinson has | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
been to meet him. 77-year-old David Rickard, | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
handing over yet another cheque. This time for ?1,500 to the RNLI, | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
and the crew of the Penley lifeboat. So how did he raise | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
so much money on his own? I do a paper round in Honiston | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
every Wednesday, and I'm also doing And the money I from get those | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
activities, I donate to a Cornish charity in memory of my mother, | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
who died in 2006. Over the last ten years, | :07:05. | :07:17. | |
David has walked hundreds of miles and raised almost ?15,000 | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
for seven Cornish charities, including the RNLI, the air | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
ambulance and two hospices. This time his money will | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
be used to help build The old one is so small that | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
there's barely enough room for the crew to change | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
into their waterproofs. Three times he's been down | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
and presented us with cheques. So how do you repay such | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
a loyal fundraiser? With tea and home-made | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
cakes, of course. Now with a look at the weekend | :07:49. | :07:59. | |
weather prospects. More unsettled, here is something we | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
haven't even for a while - some puzzles. Through this afternoon | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
Raval move into more areas. Here's what's going on, a weather front | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
across Cornwall has been bringing rain. That's moving eastwards over | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
the next 24 hours. Writer for a time but by the town we get to send a | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
further weather fronts bringing some rain. This is what we see this | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
morning. Here is that rain in the Isles of Scilly. Cloud increasing. | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
As well as that band of rain, we have rain moving up from the south. | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
Patchy in nature at first, but becoming widespread this afternoon | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
and overnight. Temperatures reaching highs of 9-10 Celsius. Overnight, a | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
damp night with temperatures not fallen as low as they have. | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
Typically down to around 4-6 based macro Celsius. Tomorrow night starts | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
cloudy. -- tomorrow morning starts cloudy. Drier and brighter | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
conditions with sunshine into the afternoon, but also the chance of | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
some showers. It could become heavy thundery for a time. Highs of 9-10 | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
Celsius. A westerly outflow so it will feel that bit milder. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
I'll be back with Victoria Graham for more on that and all the latest | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
news from the South West in Spotlight tonight at 18:30. | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
From the lunchtime news, have a very good afternoon. | :09:26. | :09:46. | |
The FA Cup fourth round, next weekend, across the BBC. | :09:47. | :10:04. | |
It's incredible, the changes that have occurred in just 50 years. | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
Oh, my goodness me, I don't like the look of that. | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
The Robshaws are going back in time again... | :10:09. | :10:11. |
