Learners week

STUDENTS interested in full-time courses at Saltash College, starting in September, will be able to drop by for information and interviews next month.
The college will be holding a 16 plus Learners' Week from May 8-11, and will be open from 9am-5pm. Staff will be on hand to answer questions about courses in health and social care, childcare, hairdressing and beauty, foundation studies, computing, business, administration, travel and tourism, and art and design.
Student Services will be able to answer questions relating to finance, childcare issues and the £30 a week educational maintenance allowance that is available to many students in Cornwall. Transport is free to the college on buses from Plymouth, Torpoint, Launceston, Bude, Callington, Liskeard, St Austell, Looe and places on those routes.
Talking of Christmas
SALTASH Civic Amenities committee met last week, with the future of the Christmas celebrations discussed.
Members of the Chamber of Commerce had said in future new lights will soon be needed, so ways of raising money will need to be debated. The switch-on of lights for this year will be on December 3.
The proposed youth shelter at Warfelton will be discussed and reviewed at a future date.
Councillors are concerned about the allotments in New Road, and these will also be reviewed in the future.
