Severe drought has been officially declared in parts of Cornwall, where much of Prince William's Duchy of Cornwall lies, in what ministers say is 'something we have not experienced for decades'.
On Thursday, 15 October, the Government also named areas of Devon, Dorset, Somerset, East Sussex and West Sussex in the alert, after what it described as the driest April-to-September period in more than a century across the South East and South West.
