Some Exeter homes uninhabitable
It's a painful experience for some Exeter residents going back to their homes after being evacuated whilst the armed forces worked on an unexploded Second World War bomb.
The seven-foot long device had to be detonated under a controlled explosion on Saturday evening.
The blast, which could be heard several miles away, has caused serious damage to a number of homes in the 100-metre exclusion zone. That cordon has now been lifted, but it's going to be some weeks before some properties can be lived in.
Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw has asked the government to provide support.
Around 300 Exeter University students are still unable to return to their halls of residence.
The council has advised affected residents to contact their insurance companies, but some don't have contents insurance, as outlined here in this film from BBC Spotlight.
