TRANSLATION:
Cornwall Council has pledged an additional 拢3m to be spent on "improving and modernising" the fire service in the current financial year. The Council said the money would fund training, additional resources for home fire prevention, and support for businesses following new legislation following the Grenfell Tower fire inquiry.
Cornwall Council said the service would update its vehicles, equipment and IT systems, and make improvements to community fire stations over the next four years. Chief fire officer Kathryn Billing said that they were focused on reducing risk and safeguarding Cornwall's communities through targeted prevention, protection and emergency response activities.

TRANSLATION
Having reliable and high-speed wi-fi on trains could be "transformative" for businesses, an expert on rural branch lines in Cornwall says. A UK-first pilot scheme for faster internet connections on trains, using technology originally developed for Formula 1 cars, was launched on Great Western Railway (GWR) services in the South West in November 2025. The government said it would invest 拢57m in rail wi-fi nationally as part of its scheme Project Reach, with 拢12m of that being spent in the west and south west of England and Wales.Deputy editor of Modern Railways magazine Andy Bowes-Roden said businesses currently faced a "time penalty" due to "patchy" internet connections on trains in areas with poor mobile phone signal.

TRANSLATION
Two people from Cornwall who met while receiving support for cancer treatment have started a podcast to raise awareness of the support available. Matthew Clarke, a Non Hodgkin Lymphoma survivor, and Emma Coombe, who is having treatment for melanoma, co-present a podcast called the Cornwall Cancer Cafe Podcast.
Clarke, who is well known to the Cornish language community for his broadcasting work in the language, said in February he was awarded National Lottery Community funding for the show, which was launched in March for a year. The weekly episodes aim to share other people's experiences to help people with cancer feel less alone, the pair said. Clarke said: "Every person is different, every cancer case is different and every experience is different."
