TRANSLATION:
An internet provider has pulled out of a government-backed project to bring faster broadband to rural areas of Cornwall.
Wildanet, which is based in Liskeard, said that it had made the difficult decision to reduce its Project Gigabit work in parts of the south west and central Cornwall, due to significantly increased costs.
The company said it had connected about 13,200 properties to gigabit-capable broadband, but would no longer be able to deliver it to the original target of 19,250 premises.
Wildanet's withdrawal has sparked concerns from Cornwall’s MPs.
All six of wrote a letter to AI and Online Safety Minister Kanishka Narayan which urged him to "prioritise the roll-out of gigabit-capable broadband" to the properties which had not yet been connected.
The MPs said lengthy outages caused by Storm Goretti had highlighted Cornwall’s issues with connectivity.
A spokesperson for the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology said that they were already in discussions with alternative suppliers.

TRANSLATION
A road swing bridge connecting Penzance town centre to its harbour has been removed so it can be refurbished.
A 650-tonne crane lifted Ross Bridge on to a 40m barge on Monday
The barge will take the swing bridge to a dry dock facility at Falmouth for specialist refurbishment and then it will be returned to Penzance by Easter.
A temporary bridge will be installed but will require road closures while it is built.
Lydia Knight from Cormac who is undertaking the work said that both a weather window and a suitable sea state were needed so that the barge can make the journey around the Lizard safely.

TRANSLATION
The Eden Project said it has now had 25 million visitors since it opened in 2001, and to mark its 25th anniversary it invited back one of the earliest people to walk through its doors.
Rosie Johns first visited during the construction of the now iconic biomes as an eight year-old and said the experience had helped spark her interest in nature and has shaped so much of her life.
To mark the anniversary occasion, Johns met co-founder Sir Tim Smit, chief executive Andy Jasper and Dr Jo Elworthy, one of the first employees of the Eden Project.
Johns now works for the Sensory Trust and works on projects which improve accessibility and inclusion in outdoor environments.
Eden's chief executive Andy Jasper said that Rosie's story is fascinating.
