Good morning. Cornwall Council has announced that it has signed a confidential agreement with Homes England which will enable it to build thousands more houses. Homes England is an agency set up by the government to help local authorities, housing associations, and private developers build more affordable new homes.
Cornwall Council is the third local authority to make an agreement with the agency after Housing Minister, Matthew Pennycook, supported the council’s plan to build more than 4,000 houses every year. Some councillors were unhappy that details of the agreement were confidential, but councillor Peter La Broy answered that every councillor could ask to read the whole report. He added that the partnership would ensure that the council could access financial support for its future housing projects.

Firefighters in the South West region have warned that the risk of wildfires remains high.
Fire brigades in Cornwall have been extremely busy this summer. For example, crews from Wadebridge Community Fire Station were called to 95 incidents in the three months since the beginning of June.
Cornwall Fire and Rescue’s chief fire officer, Kathryn Billing, said that last summer was a dreadful one for landowners, and she wanted crews to work proactively with them through the winter to create firebreaks and to prepare the countryside for the coming year. She added that she wanted to change public behaviour and make sure that they used barbecues and bonfires in a responsible manner.

The Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek has received its first young seal of the season and named her Babybel.
The female grey seal was found at Port Gaverne after being abandoned on the beach by its mother.
Vets monitored the seal for two days, but when its mother did not return to feed her, they took her to the sanctuary as she was getting weaker. The sanctuary reported that the pup was thriving, and added that she now needed to eat, sleep and grow. They added that it was normal for seals to leave their pups on the beach from time to time, and that the public should keep away from them if they were not sick or in distress.
And that’s all from me for this week. Until next time!
