Radio death and we've been bringing you news about various large housing developments planned around the ne an Abbott area involving the building of thousands of. New Himes it's a topic that's proving highly controversial as well as a care home and a restaurant planned for agricultural fields to the south of the time but are currently on hold because of an appeal Well another application for a big development nearby came up before planners yesterday which opponents argued shouldn't be considering that until the appeal result came through However after lots of debates councillors approved the plan to the anger of campaigners hall say they will appeal safety Pearce reports I'm on the edge of new near button death less at the football club looking out over green fields there's a sign pinned to a post major planning application and this is where they've got permission to build $450.00 houses plus commercial development things like office buildings but it's been very controversial and of course it's part of a much wider development here on the edge of new I really am worried about the impact on biodiversity impact on the bats the impact on flooding that is in sensitive area and the Environment Agency has identified Alibre as one that is particularly sensitive to urbanization Martin Wrigley's a liberal Democrat councilor who like many people is concerned about the impact of all the new development posed we need to nab it says John Bradford an independent counsellor who's a member of the campaign group Newton says no to rip up green fields it's just not right there are other places that we could be building houses brownfield sites regeneration of the time center we could have flags. All sorts going on ripping up green fields and. Causing morea air pollution we've got a climate emergency here. Which council planning officers say the land is allocated for housing in the local plan and so there is no reason to object. Campaigners say the plans out of date it was drawn up at a time when lots of development was presumed to be a good thing but now with the council declaring a climate emergency and aiming to become carbon neutral in 5 years that small building especially on green fields is not the way to be going and they say with the appeal of the neighboring development still not decided the decision on this latest application should have been deferred but in Wrigley again who still got the main appeal main application across the way under appeal that was turned down and we haven't yet got the new planning document so called The p.d. That helps us manage what's being done in the area because of the sensitivity in the area it's important to make sure that applications don't overdevelop it in my view it's not perhaps the best aerate of been put in the local plan 1st place but it was put there by the last administration we've got to make it as good as possible to go forward with it and I don't think what we've got proposed so far easier as good as it needs to be the consultant for the developers says the new development will after completion bring $345.00 full time jobs and generate about $9000000.00 pounds in the local economy mitigation will be put in to offset any environmental impact. Campaigners a furious independent councillor Richard doors from says No says they're considering whether to take legal action I think the parties who've been objecting to this for a great deal of time are because what parish council the world residents' association. Will carry on the challenge they've been to the High Court or to before the 1st step is to go to a planning appeal of which there are very strong grounds the 2nd stage after that will be to mount a judicial review we know there is a strong legal basis to mount a challenge against this just decision council planning officers insist all the proper procedures have been followed the plan is sound and the council can defend any legal action faces the majority of cancers on the planning committee agree as their decision to approve the plan shows we shall see what happens we will a lot of detail in the story there is Sophie Pierce reporting from Newton Abbott Still to come on breakfast today many hospitals across the country are holding drop in cervical screening clinics in north Devon District Hospital is one of them we've sent our reporter to find out what they're hoping to achieve and we'll have more on this before 730 all this week on the prairie show we're looking at how our food is produced and consumed what's happened in the last decade and what's to come in the next 10 years but also the organizer of the toast of the west towards that before 8 o'clock and of course such an you're a ticket giveaway continues today tickets for the Devon County Show were up for grabs.

Why do I like doing the show I love doing the show. Because I love weekdays from one when you get one story being told others follow I can't imagine living anywhere else but definitely such a rich county in terms of landscape and in terms of things going on we we're just a wonderful place to live. Want to really get people to respect each other on the show encouraging people to really get passionate about their opinions b.b.c. Radio we are connected as well to the country in the greater world and it's good to consider that it is certain 19 minutes past 7 now Wednesday morning with Gordon and Laura now did you know that sadly every day 9 women are given a diagnosis of cervical cancer and a further 2 women lose their lives to the disease. These figures many hospitals across the country are opening a drop in cervical screening clinics North Devon District Hospital is one such place our reporter Angela says being to bounce to find out more she met up with Anna was the guy any oncology nurse specialist at North Devon district hospital. And before we get on to what you're doing with the with the drop in clinic here in hospice Oh let's talk about the statistics that are out 9 women a day currently being diagnosed with cervical code so what's I suppose sad about that is that maybe those counts is could have been prevented the statistics say that although 75 percent 75 percent of cervical cancers could have been prevented by screening it's still a 20 year low was a why is it like this that's a really good question and I think you know over the years when we know that numbers have dropped and we talk about things like you know people feel embarrassed they're worried about their dignity there may be worried about what the outcome of the test is going to be I think what we're hearing is that although he's doing a fantastic service with regards to providing screening sometimes it can be quite an inflexible service for some members of our community so that's why you've started your new drop in clinic for cervical screening tell us a little bit more about that we've done 2 dropping clinics and they've been really successful So last Tuesday we had 10 ladies and this week we've had 12 and certainly what we seem to be picking up is that it's maybe working moms or moms that are home all day but they haven't got any transport they might live in there a rule area where husbands gone off with the car for the day they're stuck that they're waiting for their husbands to come home from work and then obviously then they can come into a later clinic to have this sort of touched on this already about why why these figures these scary figures are there but even from my own experiences of women all I've had those that go on have you know go and go and have a smear test and I've bulked asset and you know I question myself because I've had a child so she. Surely I should be able to cope with something like this why do you think we'll so we do this to ourselves it's a very different scenario having a baby because obviously the pain that you go through maybe just the dignity of that actually something very pleasant at the end of it but with a spear that's a very different situation and you know I think sometimes women do actually fear what the outcome of that smear might be there still is an element I think with some women about the dignity of its because you are dealing with strangers and I mean it's not a normal process for women to have strange is looking at their vaginas you know there are different reasons why women don't want to have their smears and we just need to keep getting that message out to them that we will support when they come in we go through the Hope process through that with the we try and put the Met the again you've sort of answered this already but for somebody like my former self that sitting at home right now listening to b.b.c. Right Evan and thinking I've got one of those letters but I'm worried what would you say to them or encouragement which you give them maybe speak to other women if you go on to Joe's trust which you can google and that will go through the home process of having a smear you could speak to your practice nurse that your medical center or just bring yourself to your appointments and discuss your fear is just actually verbalizing that helps you actually to then go through the process of having your smear done because let's face it it's it's 2 minutes isn't it it is to yap and it's 2 minutes which potentially could save your life. That's Angela colorways sassing with what is the guardian college in a specialist the north and District Hospital know their drop in cervical screening clinic takes place every Tuesday evening that's every choose Day evening between 530 and 730 at around 20 past 8 this morning you'll hear from a Devon woman that I've been talking to who has 1st hand experience of cervical cancer that's at 20 past 8. B.b.c. Radio Devon works with your it James sounds good in. Now actually the city is just one step away from Wembley after a comfortable 3 nil win in the a.f.l. Trophy quarter final at home against Steve image last night the runner up in our talent search b.b.c. New voices Hannah Poile made her debut as a b.b.c. Sports commentator covering the Exeter City match strong ball played back to the goalkeeper Luis Warner to collateral for throat yet parts get a big big quite a kick to do its work and I think that's what he is only option at that time you said you that Steven age of given up on this no I think they're just going through the motions to be honest with you just waiting for the whistle to sound and then they'll be sadly on their way but Stephen inch long journey on a Tuesday evening isn't it but you know the xo have been the best seen this evening they've been strong go in their actions they've been much more intentional in what they're doing yet another goal kick. See we'll see how they play out it's going to last minutes a really very quickly final thoughts. Is that rights watch except the really strong tonight great said oh you know we've got we've got a comfortable win this evening that makes up any injuries or anything like that so yeah really really good game was exciting you know it was good to watch it they just got the job done well we listened they were there and joins us now morning how how did you debut go in the commentary box Tariq about being. Yes it was great fun and I really enjoyed it it's quite a different experience what you get to that way but I'm pretty good Geno when I went to one of my She's going your way obviously you wanted City to win last night was it was it going quicker than you anticipated a new look at your watching you think when I said 20 minutes gone but my word was not 20 minutes gone that sort of thing I said that to my fiance I Company profile the guy playing. It just absolutely free but you're right because we're within it fighting so much there it will come through to will tell us about the game itself tell us about the fall 9. Well it was a very cold night as you know and I had to call evoke a very precarious ladder to get into the country which is it's a lamb or a black lab Yeah exactly. And again started and. I don't want to be real but they didn't revise they didn't bring their a game or 2 it didn't say but they were hungry for an extra really well you know but Taylor had a few different people playing that he would normally but he did have a very experienced team out last night and it really showed they just really quite well for a go hunt test it could have been if you will go to be honest with you. But yellow wife even has to go to. Michael to what was a shame because there was a big crowd there last night. So you know I hopefully as they sort of progress to the next stage maybe we'll talk to Craft 2 things I get from what you say there Hannah Don't be afraid to say that it's not rude is call partisan being partisan for in favor of your club which the which the listeners want to win as well isn't it so you know there's nothing wrong with being partisan you mention the attendance what was $1100.00 in a quarter final and this competition is right across the board is now every club that the fans really haven't taken to this competition yet what's your response to that and do you think City fans may get you know more and more interested in they've reached the last 4 well the last game it's Which game had weakened attendance actually and they miscalculated because people would attend. But it's a fantastic competition you know there's a chance to Wembley final and it really shines the cup like Cathy Well it leaked to what they could face going up into the next league above so to see them play against a guy Ipswich and degrading Well you know what would you want to say that feel Cup League games are excited of course but this is just separate to that you know pretty a. Next game he then. Took a coaster ride. Well down again how because that was brilliant what feel 1st time yeah really really enjoyed it I really wanted to do a good job for women. Well. Pretty to catch up with was a win as well because you'll be seen as some sort of lucky when everybody everybody gets not tired if they get a win on their 1st game how you did it well oh yeah don't make.

Radiogenic works out with your James and couldn't. It's 23 minutes to 8 now a new virus that has killed 9 people could mutate and spread further Chinese health officials have warned us they step up containment measures it's now spread to several Chinese provinces as well as overseas including to the u.s. Thailand and South Korea the vice minister of China's National Health Commission is Lee Ben we have received. Reports from 13 provinces and release a pallet with confirmed cases of 440. And there are reports of cases. $149.00 confirmed cases but our reporter Emily has more details so it's a strain of something called corona virus there are only 6 known to affect humans but this could be the 7th strain it affects us risperidone system and behaves quite like a serious case of flu there are now 440 confirmed cases worldwide but that figure keeps on rising in terms of where it originated all we really know is it was in we were in China and there is some talk of it being a market where there was illegal wildlife and most of the cases are in China but of course we do know now as you know it's spread to beyond the country has gone global and it was confirmed yesterday that human to human transmission it happened that means it could spread a lot faster no family wants China doing to stop this disease spreading. Well in we have people are being told to avoid crowds and to minimize public gatherings but the trouble is it is Chinese New Year so millions of people are traveling within China and farms and heading a route as well and it's going to be very difficult to stop people socializing the country has clearly they learnt a lesson from the solid outbreak of the early 2000 that's when officials actually initially withheld information about the epidemic from the public and that led to an under importing of the number of people infected and out to many experts say lives probably were lost that shouldn't have been as a result this time the Chinese president has made it very clear that that is not acceptable behavior and officials must not suppress news of new cases when you think the number of flights that arrive in this nation on a daily basis at our major airports from China does make you wonder if there is a threat to us here in the u.k. Doesn't it. Yeah I mean it's a possibility at the moment there are no confirmed cases here today though the World Health Organization is going to decide if this is an international public health emergency and that would put it on a par with swine flu and about and it would mean a coordinated international response kicks in at that point we would see a lot more screening at ports and airports here in the u.k. I think the reason ready screening in place at places like Heathrow and Gatwick the World Health Organization does have advice for how to keep yourself safe you should avoid any unprotected contact with naive animals that really cook meat and eggs and avoid close contact with anybody who has cold or flu like symptoms and signs of infection include a fever cough and shortness of breath. I mean with that report you see right here Jeff thanks for your James. I already know what my favorite part of the insides are you going to play and it's right now it's all this week on breakfast we're looking at how awful it is produced far bought sold and come see you when it comes to local projects what is right up there is never the very best the u.k. Has to offer but yes now let's chat to John shaves Joan is in charge of taste of the West Awards which celebrates local produce as food and drink morning tea thank you for coming in today good morning with lots of bits and pieces as well will go through that in just a moment 1st of all let's talk about food trends how is what we eat and drink changed over the last decade over the last decade I think we've moved towards more speciality type products people who are beginning now to value food a little bit more than they used to so in the seventy's and eighty's and we all sort of grew up with some of us grew up. Looking forward to just your bog standard steak and chips you were very very lucky if you had that so it was West Country steak. Maybe a bit of dress country cheddar cheese that was it really but nowadays we've just got such a plethora of different products and it's fantastic to see so that's been the big change over the last 1020 years I would say but if your tastes are quite simple in food as the ones that you suggest there of course local produce is always going to be best but do you agree that some people view food or some foods is going through fads that's very very true we've always had that if you think of some of the very very quirky products of the seventy's you're prone cocktails and those kind of iconic products of the seventy's of course it's no different for the now what tell us what is a bang on trend food now one of the Hang on trend drink actually Well Ok Jean Yes because the last 5 years we've seen a number live or number of small distilleries grow up throughout the whole region and it's one of the most exciting categories of our Food Awards actually and you're not surprised testing evenings that you know shops farm shops and things like that is popping up all over the place it is it is do you find that the number of local producers rather food or drink as risen quite dramatically in recent times yeah and that's been quite an interesting story because it started really with farmers and producers who are adding value and adding value to their projects trying to make their farms a little bit more competitive more profitable and also southwest being the southwest and Devon in particular being Devon of course which is a very very attractive to new on trip and it's coming down entering the food industries so we've had a double whammy if you like of producers growing up in terms of this year's awards are you still looking for people to come forward we certainly are we certainly are you know we're open for entries right now we're about to start our 1st round of judging a couple of weeks time so that's going to be interesting but yes we're looking for more. Entry So if you're if you've got a product of the how quirky it is different to do is to matter whether it's a bog standard product we want to assess its quality and we want to assess its provenance and that's one of the key issues now in the Stone Age I want to stop being polite because you have brought in terms that we could have for breakfast and it's no coincidence while Ali is always in early for the headlines anyway. He is always very punctual. Specially So this time I just I wrote about 5 minutes early didn't I want to. Know why you brought some stuff in today just tell us why you brought these things then right well I've got a little bit 1st up there's a little bit of this is this is the or really bog standard traditional but it's done very very very well so this is an apple juice from forums fruit farm in East Evan and it's absolutely amazing it's there's nothing added to it it's pure unadulterated It's absolutely fantastic that it's young me a lot scorches that it's good isn't it all the after taste as well as fantastic isn't it good yeah so that's really all it is just pure and there's nothing at it and there's nothing that you can you can you can taste other than that. Mummy 5 a day source it as one of your 4 yeah. That's that's a key key part of what we're looking for is that the sheer quality and the intensity of flavor so that's that's the good part about it but why don't we just move on to how we should we try some of these which are from upbraids Ok which they won a fantastic award last year but the twist is what you're putting on it oh. Which is. Going to space now dear listener. Just by I mean I don't even ask I just went straight you're going straight for it is a natural fact it is a bacon jam you. Owe up at Thompson which is again that's very different Corky twist on on a on a jam or chutney book Put on that flat bread and it is just right it isn't intense What else would you have thought with you could actually have that as a break 1st a compliment or you could actually go for your lunch time ploughman's and you are going against something turning or about my bacon infused mash. Very proud of this is something special and how clever is to get to the stage where you you know all the testing that must be involved to get to say so I think I know what I'll produce Yeah exactly not what is going to be looking Yeah I know right now this is something which is on the face of it a very very ordinary Yes So bowl of salad everyone bowl of salad Ok now this actually was our Supremes champion product last year 2019 so are you out of it thank you do you see the sad look on my far Yeah Ok but you've got to try some of the parts Oh yes yes because it's like gold and then I go to the mothership just like in opening 2 of our 5 a day no nor This is very close because look at some other stuff it is isn't it now it's very interesting actually trying to keep its characters Well thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for the salad came to us and out of a 1000 products last year that came down to the top 25 and we have a whole. Panel of judges that go around the table and I judge that chair that panel and. All the 25 top products were on that. And they kept going back to the this is that this is judging is so intense and I said that you came out of that was kept going back to go back to over 2 days so it was a massive fan of the bacon. Is just gorgeous and yes sorry I brought up the term died because my flask of Live know the way sorry I'm what is this now so now clear liquids and you're pouring out of tonic oh my but there is a car wash I go try and get this right now you say we will have the news headlines in a moment we are running a little bit late but as you'd appreciate. With ice cubes in what is this no this is quite an interesting product they are entering for the 1st time this year. Have and to before. This is a new frontier product it is a non alcoholic I think. Maybe already I think I may be able to go off not seen the label on the bottle that you've got there honestly John. I've not seen or not seen the label collateralised just not. So it goes. So we could have this for breakfast Alison cuz that's not alcoholic This is from the c. Arch company it's based upon talky and it and their very very small brand new. And they're entering for the 1st time they've got the most super branding I mean how about this for a small company the Barclays beauty. Of the marketplace and if you think I'm talking about the 10 years sort of drop the change in 10 years a few projects which is why we're talking about this today 10 years ago we may not have gone for something like that but now done and we want to try better things and different things don't look very very patient restos here is a very clever product because there is an intensity to that that flavor with with the junipers And of course tricks your mind into thinking that actually that's another holiday it's not the whole it. Was. Never a medium would be all over the branding on that bottle as well she would love that because it does stand out and it does the job doesn't it well that they've entered and we haven't judged that yet so your 1st start in terms of the fantastic us alone or so we will see $101.00 a job I always think you know testing trip would be wonderful but I don't think I could cope with the pressure of judging such a thing you know what is it like it can be quite pressurised but it's also good fun and it's we try to make it as objective as possible so we have strict criteria that we judge by and each product is judged by that criteria rather than judging against another similar product. And actually at the end of the day it's about the wild product it is about something that is a bit a bit different and you brought in the feds which I've been tried yet when. But you got to tell everybody John the West when there's a. Same location as previous years yeah we say maybe it is so large that it's of the program now that we start right now and we have a files and products to judge between now and June and we move towards the taste the worst award ceremony which is in September the great hall and it's up at the Great Hall x. University purely because we now have over $400.00 round table banquet. Having Ben and enjoyed it fully it really is an event where you need to go as soon as the gates open and spend all day there because you can easily spend all day enjoy yourself a merry fully ensconced in the event and it's truly fantastic we see how proud people are when they get hold of one of these awards as well because it's plastered all over their produce thank you very much for coming in today to all the local producers as well as the live off like that we're just doing the judging and so on but they are fantastic and John you're welcome to come in any.

Devon for that let's have a word with Allison Bell's buddies therapy dogs how to how do they help oh my goodness in so many ways they well 1st of all for our own son it was communication he didn't speak until bio came along he is a constant source of support companionship. Playtime Bale is one of our dogs that really does enjoy being quite boisterous and energetic which Harry loves you often find them wrestling in the living room and he helps with transitions through difficult periods of his life he's there a lot of the time an awful lot of the time we are starting sleep training with him now because Harry's only just started sleeping out about bed which is wonderful but it's so now it's bells turn to take over and keep him in his bedroom so tell us a little bit James about how it all started obviously you know problems in your own family but dogs have helped. Dog Quinn who was supporting her in his own way even before we thought about therapy dogs unfortunately grimace diagnosed with epilepsy so he couldn't carry on in his position so we thought we got therapy to offer her a fortune we couldn't do laughs So Also why don't we try our own so we managed to get by all the rest is history mostly for quite a lengthy history as it was many years ago and for years as a charity by the end of this year I understand you might have 26 dogs. Personally living with you in your house but where do they go what sort of happens basically families refer to or schools refer to as individuals can refer to as we go through an assessment process obviously to make sure that the situation is right for the dog and right for the family they'll be living in the puppies then are introduced to the family almost immediately as long as that works for everybody and they are socialized and desensitized into the situation that we're living in and training starts from then like a guard dog yes similar to that is not saying that the guide dog training isn't fun but as is based so much on Play fun times trainers go to Cannon team for whom they go out for coffee is actually is actually pretty Lovelace or it's hairy in the background but yeah it's it's just the benefits that you get from having a dog that can actually support. Childs so that you can just do some normal things without feeling guilty in a way and and James what's happening today you've got a sort of presentation day in information day information of insects at Brooklands sensor in the. Future So we've got so many inquiries we thought we'd sort of show the community what we do example of people to come in and speak 1st hand to most our trainers our schools Representatives some of the families that we've helped to get a 1st hand sort of conversation going and sort of ask as many questions as I can so it's difficult every situation is different and it's difficult to sort of answer this over the phone or on the Internet that sort of thing so that starting That's 1 pm today at the Brooklyn Community Center in there and how it's Ok and goes on for the afternoon so it's growing the charity is growing if you're going growing for 4 years that's a double edged sword isn't it because of so you'd hope people wouldn't have the need but it just shows that there's obviously more recognition of problems out there it is it definitely is and. The the things that we are dealing with are becoming wider as well and we are learning all the time it's such a fantastic process to be a part of and we are like a massive family not just the star who are all absolutely wonderful people but the people that we support we we enter into their lives probably are some of the most difficult times and we share such a special journey with them it's really touching and we're part of their lives and they're a part of our family and lives. Forever really well listen it's lovely to meet you lovely to meet bail here who's been very very well behaved hasn't even done a whimper or a bark in the background but there we are therapy dogs here in New James and Alison Bosworth Good to see you on lovely story that is Richard thank you Richard Green Newton Abbot this morning here.
