Has the West lost a champion in Cameron's departure?
David Cameron left Number 10 today bringing his 6 year premiership to an end. >During that time he made a lasting impact on the political landscape here in the West - we look back at his time in office.
As Theresa May becomes the new PM, West Country business leaders and local politicians say they want transport links to the South West to remain a priority under her leadership.>Anxiety about the resilience of the main railway links to the region were dramatically raised after storms destroyed the line at Dawlish in 2014. >As Prime Minister he made a number of visits to the main rail line after it famously fell into the sea and left much of the West Country cut off from the rest of the rail network.
The millions of pounds to repair were found promptly but now under Theresa May will the line get millions more here to improve its resilience.
While there have been headlines that the new Prime Minister will end austerity and expensive schemes like the dualing of the A303 won't be in doubt, Theresa May is still planning spending cuts but is more likely to increase borrowing. >The scheme backed by Cameron which will include a tunnel under Stonehenge is due to begin in 2020 to provide a more fit for purpose alternative route to the region along with the M5.
It's also hoped plans to widen the A303 in Somerset will still go ahead. The road scheme, which will take up to 14 years to complete, was announced by the Government in December.
The government has also given strong support for a third nuclear reactor at Hinkley and Theresa May will be hoping owners EDF show greater clarity - and urgency - with 25,000 West Country jobs depending on it.
Theresa May was due to have been in East Devon on Friday night for a drinks reception but she may now have other plans.
