Cornwall Council is discussing the issue of disposable barbecues following a series of wild fires during summer this year. Some people have also been injured by barbecues, buried in the sand on our beaches while still very hot. The Secretary of State for housing, communities and local government, Angela Rayner, has urged councils to consider banning open fires and barbecues in vulnerable areas. Cornwall Council said it could issue a public spaces protection order to achieve this aim, but before doing so, it wanted to contact some landowners and the Cornwall Fire Service to seek their opinion. The council added that the order would last three years and would not be renewed without further consultation.

Translation 2/3 Asian hornets have been spotted recently in Somerset and there are fears that this insect will be also found in Devon and Cornwall before long. The Asian hornet is a dangerous predator which kills and eats pollinating insects such as bees, flies, wasps and butterflies. A nest of hornets can eat 11kg of native insects within a single season. Michael Grindley, an Asian hornet coordinator in Cornwall, said that the insect could hide under cars, or else be carried on yachts to harbours on the Cornish coast. South West Water have urged members of the public, if they see an Asian hornet, to report it to a local beekeeping group or via the Asian Hornet Watch app. Recording 3/3 Tri delow nowydh, gwrys a helyk, re beu ynstallys yn Lowarth Trengwenton, ogas dhe Bennsans, a-gynsow rag kovhe an damach gwrys gans Tewedh Goretti mis Genver eus passyes.

Translation 3/3 Three new statues, made of willow, have recently been installed in Trengwainton Garden, near Penzance, to commemorate the damage done by Storm Goretti last January. The artwork was created by Katherine Miles, and it depicts a family of three: mother, father and daughter holding on to their hats as they lean forward into the wind. The garden is managed by the National Trust which reported that 150 trees fell during the storm in winds of nearly 100 mph. Head gardener, Tom Bush, said that the work of clearing the woodland of fallen trees was almost complete, and that he hoped to begin planting new trees in October. And that’s all from me for this week. Until next time! Pic: Polperro by Weather Watcher Xalo Bartley.
