In this week’s Cornish Times, we lead with 100th birthday celebrations for a man who has led a country life full of song – Jack Spurr’s vibrant memories span a century of agricultural change and his story, captured in words by his son Peter, is a great read!

Inside – and still in the Tamar Valley – we hear how millionaire residential park owner Alfie Best has been told to take down new development on his site at St Dominic – but he says that Cornwall Council has got it wrong.

There was shock for a Liskeard mum who found a dangerous item in the vegetables she’d bought for that night’s dinner.

And find out why Looe Lifeboat Station wants you to get your cameras out this summer and take photos in the town.

Cornish people will go to the polls next week to elect their Cornwall Councillors for the coming four years. In our election special, we’ve invited all the candidates in our area to tell us why we should be voting for them next Thursday. We also bring you pieces from each of the four candidates standing for Devon and Cornwall Police and Crime Commissioner. They set out what they believe is working well in the region’s policing - and what they think needs to change.

In Sport, we hear from Millbrook and Saltash FC managers Mackenzie Brown and Dane Bunney on their clubs’ move up into the Western League Premier Division – and how they’re preparing for the change.

There’s all your Bond Timber Cornwall Cricket League results and fixtures, and on the back page, hear how Tideford skipper David Lockett has become only the second member of Cornwall’s very select 1,000 wicket club!

We also hear from Liskeard Cricket Club chairman about how the club is aiming to expand. Things are getting off to a good start this weekend with the first competitive match against Tideford, as well as the return of the popular car boot sales.

As well as this we bring you readers’ letters, magistrates court reports, planning news, political columns, the Nature Watch page and much, much more.
