I’m thrilled to have won Local Democracy Reporter of the Year at the national Reach journalism awards in Manchester last night. It was a fantastic event celebrating the best in journalism and I’m so proud to have brought it home to Cornwall. I’ll forgive Carol Vorderman’s pronunciation of my surname

Happy birthday David Bowie. The world went a bit off-kilter when you left it.

After refusing a massive solar farm today, a Cornwall Council planning committee approved an equally contentious and huge luxury holiday park near Newquay. Green Ridge Resort providing a new form of tourism, hundreds of jobs and claims it will help the housing situation swung it

I’m not sure there’s a better way to set up the week than a stately Sunday night performance by Midge Ure at the Hall for Cornwall. The voice and guitar playing are as glorious as ever.
