Today’s packed edition of the Cornish Times leads with the tremendous efforts being made by the community and businesses in Looe to ‘Save the Day’ following the cancellation of the Looe Music Festival earlier this week after the charity behind the event went into administration.

A team is working to get the funds together to provide an alternative free event in the town, and pubs and cafes say their booked live music events will go ahead so visitors do not go away disappointed.

Meanwhile, we discover that three generations of one local family have signed up to take part in the Looe Island Swim for charity this Sunday.

Also in this week’s paper, Cornwall Council has announced that it has bought a plot of land with the aim that Liskeard’s long half-completed ‘bridge to nowhere’ will soon become a bridge to somewhere.

Plus we give details of the many buildings around the town which will be opening their doors to the public in the ‘Liskeard Unlocked’ event.

We also learn that the town’s parish church of St Martin is holding a service of rededication to celebrate its transformation spacious and flexible community space.

With the season of harvest upon us, we learn about the ancient roots of the traditional ceremony of ‘Crying the Neck’, and in our four-page farming section we reveal why the discovery in Fowey of a predatory invader, an Asian hornet, is a worrying development, particularly for bee-keepers.

We also take a look at what visitors can expect at tomorrow’s Callington Carnival in a special feature, and our community news section is, as ever, packed with planning details and events from around South East Cornwall’s villages.
