Weekly round-up: Stories you may have missed

More weather warnings for Devon and Cornwall, NHS workers' efforts to keep people out of A&E and the long-lasting effects of Storm Goretti have all contributed to a busy time in south west England.

We have selected some stories you may have missed across the region.

People in Cornwall were left angry and frustrated over delays in reconnecting them to the internet after Storm Goretti.

The storm left thousands of people with no power or water but engineers were able to reconnect all customers after seven days.

But 28,000 households were left with no broadband internet, with residents complaining the online outage meant they were unable to work, keep up with schoolwork or make phone calls.

The regional head of Openreach, the company responsible for much of Cornwall's phone and internet infrastructure, said engineers had been working around the clock to reconnect people, but admitted 900 people were still without internet access on Monday morning.

The rebranding of a well-known venue in Devon is to better reflect the scale, ambition and profile of the events it hosts, bosses have said.

The former Plymouth Pavilions has been renamed the Plymouth Arena, and marked the "next chapter" of its long-standing role in the city by offering entertainment and events, they added.

CEO of Plymouth Arena, Sarah Phillips, said they had taken the opportunity to redefine what it stood for by putting creativity, community and character at the heart of the venue.

"As we look to the future, it's time for a name that reflects that energy and ambition," she said.

A trawler skipper released a seahorse back into the sea after it was caught on the side of his fishing pot.

Chris Puncher, skipper and owner of Salcombe Fish and Shellfish Ltd in Devon, said the male seahorse, which was about 6cm (2.4in) with its tail curled up, "strongly" swam away after it was caught.

The Seahorse Trust, a Devon based charity, confirmed it was an "immature" adult male short-snouted seahorse, meaning it was not pregnant.

Puncher, who is the skipper of Mayhem 2, a boat that fishes for crab and lobster, said it was the first time in his 20 years of fishing he had seen a seahorse at sea.

Parts of south west England were treated to a dazzling display of the Northern Lights earlier this week.

The lights, or Aurora Borealis, are the result of solar eruptions sending particles towards Earth and the subsequent interaction of those particles with the Earth's atmosphere.

A coronal mass ejection (CME), a large eruption of charged matter from the Sun, left the Sun on Sunday, the Met Office said.

It said the CME was likely "to bring aurora across Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England, and potentially further south".

A teenager's dream came true after her favourite singer serenaded her in front of thousands of people and helped raise awareness of a medical condition.

Isla, 14, from Plymouth, was diagnosed with scoliosis, or curvature of the spine, about 18 months ago and has had to wear a brace for 20 hours a day since.

A year after she collected the brace she fulfilled her ambition to share a stage with Coldplay at Wembley Stadium and she was wearing the brace on top of her clothes to make it visible.

In front of 83,000 people, the band's Devonian lead singer Chris Martin asked Isla to sit with him for two songs, a video of which she shared online as part of her campaign to educate others about scoliosis.
