It's been going along the coast for a few weeks now.

A tame jackdaw who disappeared from his home in Axminster has been surprising strangers by landing on their shoulders in search of a snack. His adoptive parents, Jaime and Adrian Lee, feared they might never see again. In fact, it seems Jake has been conducting a tour of Devon with potential sightings in Sidmouth, Ottery, Dawlish and Trago Mills near Newton Abbot. Read more... ...

@leatash , nope, I just like to stick to the facts. Humans causing climate change is just fake news. @ER113 No point of posting links to "scientific" papers based on comparing NASA's laughable CO2 measurements taken on top of a active volcano and ice cores. It's non-sense. You can waste your life on climate religion but normal people see through all the lies. The so called climate emergency is a ...

You should be banned for your total insensitivity towards people. You insult the injured. This is disgraceful

And now it's gone.

Yes indeed. The increase in funding that has been promised merely moves the budget a little back to the funding lvels of 2015 and does very little to address the shortage of money in schools.

Tracie Atkin, 54, of Dawlish, Devon, left her profession and turned down the offer of a new role earning £35,000 a year in order to work at charity Cats Protection.

Alex Hynes, the managing director of Scotland’s railway, said more investment would be needed to future-proof the railway against rising temperatures. Much of its most recent climate change adaptation plan was written in the aftermath of extensive flooding in 2015, including the closure of the Devon-Cornwall line after the track washed away at Dawlish. Heavy rainfall and flooding remain the most ...

Police intercepted her and she kicked Pc Michael Elliott on the shins as she was being taken back to the car and jabbed a heel into his bottom once she was inside. She is now working with the mental health service and probation, both of whom have given positive ...

@ Fred Well, you can't blame Lidl for that.

No, not simple. presumably if it was simple then we would not be having this discussion at all. We are having this debate because the material is showing some people how serious is teh current situation I had hoped you might take the trouble to read a few of the entries in the website above. They might, perhaps, enable you to see what scientists have been saying for many years. Or, put another ...

Yet now, according to the TV news, local councils are busy taking these notices down, saying they have no right to be there.  How much crazier is this country going to get ?

What a Joke this company is. That bleat on about the envirement and saving the planet and our carbon footprint. In the next part of the programme they advertise the competition,which involves sending the presenter Andy Peters plus others half way round the world for a full ten minute slot to mention the prizes.Don't do as I do Do as I say. Oh Yeh!

Another photo op for a councillor, more interested in how they can justify a 35k wage for environmental officer when we are supposed to be strapped for cash.

Has been found safe and well.

If they must protest, then why not do it outside the Indian, Chinese, and USA embassies, as they are the ones who don't give a damn about the climate. At least we(the UK) are doing our best at the moment. I see that Chris Packham was in London today protesting, so I wonder if he will give up flying away on a BBC jolly (all expenses paid) in the future?

@1263 one thing they are very good at is spending our money for worthless things, while the local area continues to spiral downwards.

The South Devon hospitals dealing with casualties from this morning's double decker bus crash have asked the public not to attend their A&E department unless it is a "real emergency". Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust have issued the statement on social media. It says: "We are currently dealing with a major incident.
