Cargo ship refloated after running aground
A large cargo ship which ran aground in a Devon harbour has been refloated.
Rob Parsons, Teignmouth harbour master, said the ship was refloated at about 18:00 BST and had been berthed alongside the harbour wall.
The vessel from Amsterdam, which was carrying animal feed, had become stuck at about 06:00 and was refloated on the evening tide.
Mr Parsons said there had been no injuries on the boat which would be surveyed for damage.
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch said it was aware of the incident and was "making initial inquiries".

Popular Hokkien mee The Neighbourwok opens new central outlet
If you're a Hokkien mee aficionado, chances are you've heard of The Neighbourwok — a cult-favourite HKM stall tucked away in a nondescript kopitiam in Bukit Batok. It's my absolute fav, so you can imagine my excitement when I found out The Neighbourwok recently opened their second outlet at Owen Road! The Neighbourwok first teased their expansion on Instagram in May, hinting at a new outlet in the 'central area' of SG. After keeping fans in suspense, they finally revealed the big news — their second stall officially opened on 7 Jun at 44 Owen Road. The menu offered at said new outlet is identical to the original in Bukit Batok, minus their satay. The one item on the menu — Fried Hokkien Prawn (duh) — is priced the same at S$5/S$6/S$8. To dabao is an additional S$0.30. If this is your first introduction to the stall, I'm honoured to be the one to let you in on this HKM gem. It ticks all the boxes of a good Hokkien mee — smoky wok hei that doesn't overpower the dish, fresh and crispy pork lard, finished off with a punchy chilli on the side. I must say, The Neighbourwok's HKM is on the wetter side, where the yellow noodles and thick bee hoon combo are submerged in a rich prawn zhup. Naturally, some diners will have their reservations about stalls expanding, fearing that the quality may not hold up at new outlets. A netizen on Facebook had compared both outlets, stating that the Bukit Batok outlet 'doesn't have a strong eggy taste' while the chef at Owen Road 'is more generous with eggs'. Ultimately, Hokkien mee is a very subjective dish, so take others' reviews (including mine) with a grain of salt. I'll continue singing praises about The Neigbourwok, though. Personally, I'd still patronise the OG outlet as it's nearer to me, but you can no longer use the excuse of 'not wanting to travel to the West' to try The Neighbourwok's Hokkien mee! 20 best Hokkien prawn mee stalls in SG for the avid Singaporean foodie [Nov 2024 update] The post Popular Hokkien mee The Neighbourwok opens new central outlet appeared first on

Primary school to extend to house extra pupils
A primary school has been granted permission to build extensions to accommodate 119 extra pupils. Five new classrooms will be built at Beaconside C of E Primary in Penrith, Cumbria, despite concerns regarding the number of available staff car parking spaces and the increase in traffic at normal school drop-off and pick-up times. However Amy Holliman, from Westmorland and Furness Council, told a meeting the additional school places would be phased in over a number of years. The application, which came from the council and also included plans for a staffroom and landscaping, was passed contrary to the recommendation of Penrith Town Council, which also raised objections. It was worried about public transport provision as buses did not run at times corresponding with start and end of the school day. But councillors were told the school was committed to supporting sustainable transport, with fewer children being driven to school, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. Holliman said funding would come from cash given as part of a separate planning agreement and described the development as helping to "futureproof Penrith" in terms of more school places. Addressing environmental concerns which included the possibility of asbestos being found, she confirmed the work would not be carried out when the pupils were at school. The new classrooms will be for Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils. Follow BBC Cumbria on X, Facebook, Nextdoor and Instagram. Penrith Town Council Westmorland and Furness Council
