Chamber

meeting

THE next meeting of Liskeard Chamber of Commerce will be held on April 30 at the Lord Eliot Hotel.

Any business wishing to come along or any firm which is experiencing problems due to the foot and mouth crisis will be made welcome. Chamber secretary Jane Pascoe said: 'The advantage of living in such a friendly community is that we can all help each other overcome difficulties. We are all in the same boat and most of the problems can be tackled together.'

She added the chamber has been appreciative of the hard work and assistance given from the local and regional branch of the Federation of Small Businesses.

Push for more

patrol people

THE push is on to recruit more school crossing patrol people - especially in the Liskeard area.

Due to illness, Liskeard infants school has been without a school crossing patrol since April 5.

Cornwall Council's road safety unit said they are always keen to recruit more school crossing patrols, reliefs and flying reliefs. Anyone interested should contact Heather Stripp at the county council road safety unit on 01872 327886.
