Leading this week’s Cornish Times is the terrible news of a fatal accident on the A38 near Landrake. As our thoughts go out to those families involved, the crash has led to renewed calls for urgent action that will help make this road safer.

Inside we hear about the local charity named a national ‘Covid hero’ and a Liskeard mum whose child has had 13 major surgeries in his young life tells why she is setting up a new group to support other parents in Cornwall.

And four local friends are in the paper to talk about why they’ll be playing a marathon golf session and walking 20 miles in the process!

Tomorrow in Saltash, there’ll be a special service in honour of six auxiliary firemen who sacrificed everything to help those affected by second world war bombing raids. Read the moving words written by the grandson and nephew of two of the firemen – and look out for more on this in next week’s Cornish Times too.

We’ve got a great supplement in this week’s paper celebrating the reopening of non-essential retail and supporting the high street. It’s a great time to support your local traders and businesses. Exploring some of the towns in our region is well worth it – for the variety and quality offered by independent traders, and the rich history, interesting buildings, and lovely surroundings.

In Sport this week, there’s a personal tribute to devoted family man and cricketer Mike Holman, written by Liskeard Chairman Tim Hyslop.

We bring you updates and reports as the cricket season gets underway, local and regional football, golf and sailing news, and read all about the Liskeard youngster gearing up for the British Kart Racing Championships.

As well as this there’s news in planning matters, including the proposal for a new development in Cargreen in the Tamar Valley, magistrates court reports, reader letters, Nature Watch, Puzzles and much more!
