The council agreed to promote use of Cornish in November

The Kerrier District Council policy to replace old or missing signs is being coupled with a new move to see where the Cornish language can also be used.

About 300 signs have been replaced since the measure began last year, and another 300 are set to be changed.

Kerrier Councillor Loveday Jenkin said the dual language signs cost the same as the originals.

Dr Jenkin, member for Consultation and Democratic Renewal, said: "The Kerrier policy is not to replace signs unless they are damaged or absent.

"Part of celebrating our cultural identity is the opportunity to use Cornish on street signs at no additional costs.

"The costs of producing signs, whether they are in English or are bilingual, are the same."

The signs bear a name in English, with a smaller Cornish version underneath.
