WCAI's Local News Roundup: Plan developed to keep plovers safe; changes to hospitals' psych team

WCAI News Director Sean Corcoran hosts local and regional journalists to discuss the news of the week on the Cape, the Coast and the Islands. Joining Sean in our Woods Hole studio is Anne Brennan, digital editor of the Cape Cod Times; Tim Wood of the Cape Cod Chronicle; Sally Rose of the Provincetown Banner; Jim DeArruda of the New Bedford Standard Times; and Nelson Sigelman of the Martha's Vineyard Times.

Among the stories they talk about: changes are underway regarding how the Cape's two hospitals handle psychiatric cases; local activist groups are concerned about the monitoring of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, as well as about security at the reactor; the state has backed off its demands that a local business owner stop maintaining a roadside display in Centerville; and Sandwich residents are concerned that a new gas pipeline will be installed and all the trees won't be replaced.
