Cornish language gets official protection
24
The Cornish language has been officially recognised under Part III of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.
Having initially been protected under Part II of the Charter since 2002, the intervening 24 years has seen a resurgence of the use of Kernewek in everyday life.
It means Kernewek enjoys the same level of promotion as all the other Celtic languages recognised across the British Isles, including Welsh, Manx and Gaelic.
The recognition is the culmination of many years of work by Cornwall Council, MPs, community groups and cultural organisations to ensure the language plays a key role in life in Cornwall.

Are your child's vaccinations up to date for school?
19
Before your child starts school, it's important to make sure their vaccinations are up to date.
By the time they reach reception class, they should have had their 4-in-1 pre-school booster that provides continued protection against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, and polio.
They should also have had their second MMR vaccination, which provides protection from measles, mumps, and rubella.
If you're not sure whether your child has had any, one, or two doses of the MMR vaccine, you can check their personal child health record (the Red Book).
If you're still unsure, speak to your GP. It's better to have two doses of the MMR vaccine now rather than leaving your child unprotected.
Remember, it's important that vaccinations are given on time for the best protection.

Bolventor - Salt & Grit Bin
23
The salt & grit bin on the bus stop hardstanding is not being used as we hoped. The salt is being removed and wasted on the hardstanding in the process. Hopefully all residents will have each others best interests in mind and this resource will not be treated indiscriminately and only be lightly used as necessary for everyone's safety in such an exposed environment.
If abused the Parish Council will have no alternative but to consider it's removal.
