IN this week’s Cornish Times, in shops from today (Friday), we lead with the letter that a South East Cornwall primary school has sent to the organisers of the Comic Relief charity campaign regarding the red noses that are so much part of the event.
The school council at Fourlanesend on the Rame Peninsula say that while they are proud supporters of the charity campaign, the single-use plastics the noses are made from fly in the face of environmental concerns. We explain their concerns.
Talking of the environment, sadly there has been yet more flytipping at a local beauty spot – not tyres this time but fridge-freezers.
We also report on the sad news that the Cornish Ivy venue in Liskeard town centre is to close and talk to its landlords of the past 12 years.
Better news is that a campaign to replace a postbox that was removed by Royal Mail, causing inconvenience for the residents of a town neighbourhood, has met with success.
We air more opinions and concerns regarding the issues of the Brexit debate, and have another call from the emergency services for people to park more considerately so fire engines can get through.
Have you ever heard of paddle board yoga? We have an extraordinary picture from the Tamar Canoe Association of what it entails.
We also have the story behind what appeared initially to be carvings of dinosaurs on a tomb in Looe dating from long before anyone knew anything about such extinct reptiles.
There is an opportunity to enter a competition to win pairs of tickets to an important darts competition (see more details elsewhere on this website) and we also have a packed 12-page property and home living pullout. There are also three pages on farming and cattle breeding matters.
To top it all off there is another Nature Watch foray from Ray Roberts and out usual columns including Recipe of the Week, Books and TV Choice.
Find all this and more in this week’s Cornish Times, available in shops from today (weather permitting of course).
