In this week’s packed edition of the Cornish Times:

- We lead with 65-year-old Liz Julian, who has a number of health conditions but comes into town regularly to work at a charity shop, highlighting the problems there are for people with disabilities like herself in parking around Liskeard at the moment due to disabled parking spaces at the Cattle Market site being currently engulfed by construction work on the new Hub and other possible parking areas being obstructed.

- Good news for motorists using the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry is that councillors have opted against increasing tolls – although alternative ways of increasing income are being explored amid warnings of a possible £7m deficit.

- Colleagues have waved a fond farewell to NHS worker Lynette Freeguard as she retires after 42 years of service in hospitals in Liskeard.

- Despite more than 35 objections citing the historic value of a property in Old Ferry Road, Saltash, and the fact that its grounds are one of the few remaining green spaces in the town, planning permission has been granted to demolish the building and replace it with six new houses.

- There are plans being put forward to build new Co-op store on the edge of a South East Cornwall coastal town.
