Staff at The Cornish Times are working hard from home to bring you your local weekly paper with the news, pictures, advice and information you look forward to reading.

You’ll find the latest edition in the shops from this afternoon.

In this week’s front page story, we hear about fears of what the repercussions of the Government’s easing of lockdown restrictions could mean for places like Looe. The RNLI and Council leaders have got a tricky path to tread and we hear how they are dealing with navigating the changes.

Inside the paper there’s the fantastic story of a local 11-year-old whose determination and talent has landed her a place at one of the world’s most prestigious ballet schools, and a young man who is defying the odds to live life to the full and record a charity single, backed by X Factor celebrity and newsreader Martin Bashir.

We’ve got coverage of the VE Day anniversary celebrations in South East Cornwall, including a surprise medal presentation to a man who was there at the time in May 1945 and helped to liberate France. There’s also a great competiiton for Cornish Times readers this week, who have a chance of winning a very special VE Day figurine thanks to a local jeweller.

And it’s lovely to read some of the life story of Reg Parcell, a 100 year old whose carers in Liskeard made sure his birthday was extra special.

In farming we have stories on how Government support is helping the dairy sector get on its feet – and how in Cornwall, dairy farmers have avoided the worst impacts of the coronavirus crisis. We hear the point of view of one Cornish farmer who represents the county on the NFU’s Dairy Board.

Our special four-page sports pull out has news this week of how national and county sports personalities are pitching in to help their communities, an in-depth look with story and pictures on Caradon Hockey Club, and there’s an anxious wait for Saltash United. Cornish Times editor and sports writer Nigel Walrond reviews the season for Torpoint Athletic FC, and on the back page there’s news of Gary Jeffery’s move to manage Bodmin Town FC.

In business pages we give you listings of who’s open and ready to deliver, and we hear how landlords of a pub on the Rame Peninsula have got a ’shop in a shed’ up and runnig in days.

With all this there’s also your favourite sections like Nature Watch with Ray Roberts, Motoring, Puzzles and TV and the rccipe column to try.
