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

You’ll find the latest edition in the shops today – and we’ll be coming out on a Thursday just for the time being due to changes brought by the coronavirus situation.

Today’s paper leads with an exclusive interview with the man in charge of Neighbourhood Policing in South East Cornwall. Inspector Rupert Engley tells us about the high visibility patrolling carried out by his officers over the Easter holiday period, and gives some statistics and insights into how the picture of crime has changed in the district since the lockdown began.

We bring you the story of why local people are donating their half-drunk bottles of whiskey and gin to a distillery in Saltash, and how this family business is directly helping care workers in the area to protect themselves and save lives.

Further local stories on the coronavirus situation include information to help the most vulnerable in our district, and a call for better protective equipment for those care home and domicilary care workers on the front line in South East Cornwall.

In the packed pages of your Cornish Times there’s also a dramatic testimonial from a family who were woken in the night by explosions in the garage of their home.

This week’s edition carries our four-page Sports pull out focusing on the achievements and plans of clubs around the district – a great read, which this week has a review of the Cornish All Blacks’ season, an interview with new Saltash United manager Dane Bunney, and a piece highlighting angling in the district.

Looking to Farming, we carry reaction from Cornish farmers and the farming industry to the ’Polish beef mince’ supermarket scandal, and there’s more pages giving all the information on how businesses in South East Cornwall are supporting their communities through lockdown and self-isolation.

We’ve also got your favourite sections like Ray Roberts’ uplifting and informative Nature Watch Motoring, Letters, Puzzles and TV.
