The messages are very mixed if not confusing for what's expected in the New Year for the SouthWest...

It looks good for the tourist trade:

There are lots of jobs - but not enough workers:

Meanwhile, the general outlook looks very good - but at a price:

Employees in the SouthWest have the greatest confidence in the Westminster government:

The Plymouth Herald, then, has pretty good coverage of the issues for the SouthWest:
