In this week’s Cornish Times we lead with villagers in Antony on the Rame Peninsula, who are desperate to see their pub, the Carew Arms, saved from becoming a holiday apartment.

Stories inside include Liskeard Town Council’s plan to introduce a 20mph zone and extra parking bays on one of the town centre shopping streets – and an update from East Looe, where traders have welcomed a plan to keep the main streets open and employ traffic marshalls.

We hear from a Saltash company who, after 30 years of designing and manufacturing equipment for the rail industry, say they’ve had to let 90% of their staff go. Their chairman tells us what’s to blame - and it’s got nothing to do with COVID.

Meanwhile, there’s happier news from a much-loved milkman in the Liskeard area, who is stepping down from his round after more than than three decades to spend more time with his family.

If you’re out between Looe and Plymouth today, you may see army major Chris Brannigan marching barefoot in full kit – find out why he’s on a 60- mile mission from Land’s End to Edinburgh.

There’s an update on a major flood defence scheme in South East Cornwall which is a step closer to fruition – and as clubs continue to run their activities in the ’new normal’, we’ve got news from the Looe Players and the Looe Valley Rotary Club.

We’re doing all we can at the Cornish Times to support our local businesses as they adjust and recover. This week we bring you another packed Open for Business section with information for businesses and customers, interviews, and useful advice on healthy workplaces, and how the law stands on going back to work or staying off under the COVID-19 rules.

Sport in Focus has some more in-depth reads this week thanks to editor Nigel Walrond and our great contributors. Find out about young Saltash United stiker Ben Holter, who’s battled through months and months of recovery from injury to come into the first team for the season ahead. Dave Potham tells us about Callington Town’s new St Piran League team manager, and we hear how the club has made no fewer than nine new signings for their SW Peninsula League Premier West squad. There’s a report with pictures on the fun-loving Looe Pioneers and their recent events – and on the Sports back page this week, another team has made a swathe of new signings: Nigel Walrond speaks to joint manager Martin Hodge about the new Blues at Lux Park.

With all of this, we’re also bringing you Farming pages, Puzzles, and Ray Roberts’ beautiful Nature Watch pictures.

Look out for your latest Cornish Times, out in the shops from this afternoon!
