TRANSLATION: Old County Hall, in Truro, is Grade II listed, and was once the headquarters of the former Cornwall County Council. The granite building has been sold to a north Cornwall-based construction firm for an undisclosed sum. Old County Hall was built on Station Road between 1910 and 1912 in a NeoGeorgian style. Cornwall County Council moved into its new offices on Treyew Road in 1966. the Old County Hall site was used by the Cornwall Record Office until its move to Kresen Kernow, in Redruth, in 2019. Since then the building has been bought and sold a number of times, but ambitious proposals to redevelop the site have failed to come to fruition - including proposals for a boutique hotel and spa, or student accommodation units. According to the estate agents, the building retains a wealth of original architectural features, including a grand central entrance, sash windows, a distinctive roof, and well preserved interior details.

TRANSLATION A group of nine students with special educational needs have been preparing to compete in part of the Ten Tors weekend on Dartmoor. The Jubilee Challenge is a trekking expedition designed specifically for young people with special needs, both physical and educational. The team from Bodmin College competed in the 7.8 mile distance, having camped the night before. One of the students is partially blind and others have autism. The Dartmoor Preservation Society has provided more than £2000 for appropriate clothing and shoes, the cost of which would otherwise prevent the school from taking part. Jen George, head of adventure and outdoor learning at Bodmin College, said: "For a lot of these students it's the highlight of the year." and the equipment that’s been given to them makes the challenge possible.

TRANSLATION A man and his dog are walking 300 miles to raise money for a disaster relief charity. Tom Miles, 49, and his two-year old labrador-collie cross, Luna, are walking the Cornish coastline for Shelterbox and hope to reach Plymouth in under two weeks. The pair from Lostwithiel started the journey in Bude and will walk between 20 to 25 miles a day. Miles, who has volunteered with the charity, said he wanted to "shine a light on the amazing work they do". “Luna is young and fit”, Miles said, “so she's loving it and swims at every beach.
