In the Cornish Times newsroom we’ve again produced three editions of your favourite local paper packed with news and pictures: the main edition, and the recently launched Saltash and Bodmin editions.

With the issue of climate change dominating many people’s thoughts as we enter 2020, all three editions lead with the pledges use made by Cornwall Council to cut carbon emissions in the county this year.

Looe Cornwall Councillor Edwina Hannaford says the start of the new decade is a good time for Cornwall to adopt the 10 Make the Change pledges devised by the Eden Project. Inside we also explain that the new contract agreed for the county’s buses includes provision for more environmentally-friendly vehicles.

Inside we also have a special feature by reporter Debbie Pugh-Jones in which she speaks to representatives of the three main industries in Cornwall – agriculture, fishing and tourism – to ask them what their hopes and fears are for the new decade.

Elsewhere in the paper we look at some new sources of support available for those who are homeless or in need – one hopeful sign is that a new report has found there are now fewer people homeless on the county’s streets.

In other news, at a Bodmin medical college more than 200 young people have received free heart screening checks, and 1,200 people have been trained in life-saving techniques, in memory of a former student from St Germans who died at the age of 22 from sudden cardiac arrest.

We also have the news that shipping containers could be transformed into workshops and creative spaces on Liskeard’s cattle market site, but that a plan for a 56-bedroom hotel at Hatt, near Saltash, has been turned down.

In addition, we report that a lifeboat station has bade a retirement farewell to two RNLI members who have performed the vital role of driving the station’s launch tractor, and that town councillors have agreed in principle to taking over the running of Liskeard’s Castle Park.

As well as lots of your community pictures, we also have four pages full of pictures of events from around the area celebrating the New Year, from beach firework displays and fancy dress revelling to New Year’s Day dips in the chilly sea and traditional wassailing. We also have more nativity play pictures in our Little Christmas Stars feature.

There are also pictures of how the team at a local builders merchants raised money for a children’s hospice by dressing up as dancing Oompah Loompas – characters from Roald Dahl’s story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

And, of course, there are our regular columns such as Ray Roberts’ Nature Watch, your Letters, TV Choice and the latest Books.

There are also Farming, Property and Motoring pages and four packed pages of Sport. Find all of this and more in this week’s Cornish Times editions, in shops from today (Friday).
