A huge congratulations to everyone involved in Looe Emergency Services Day last weekend!

A special shout-out goes to Blaze Bear, who not only hosted a fantastic BBQ but also took the time to meet and greet all the service attendees. Thanks to Blaze Bear and his amazing team at Looe Community Fire Station, over £500 was raised for the Fire Fighters Charity, a brilliant achievement!

Check out some snapshots from their adventures below.

We were thrilled to see Looe Carnival return for another incredible year, and it’s all thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Looe Lions. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped organise and took part in the festivities, your energy and creativity truly made it a week to remember.

The carnival procession was a standout highlight, featuring a colourful array of  costumes! One particularly special moment was Barbican Pre-School’s  tribute to former councillor Armand Toms, marking his well-deserved retirement in style!

Looe Business Forum and Looe Town Council are pleased to welcome back Poseidon Town Security from Saturday 26^th July to Tuesday 2^nd September.  Please look out for them patrolling around town.

Our aim – supporting the safety of local businesses, residents and visitors through visible deterrent, helpful advice and preventative conversation.

Businesses throughout the town have been supplied with a network of radios to provide effective communications and an early warning mechanism to reduce shoplifting and report anti-social behaviour to Town Security.

Many of our local business owners felt that the trial of 2024 was an all-round success. Town Security reports to the local policing team secured 20 extra hours of PCSO presence in the town last August.  Looe Town Council agreed to match-fund donations received from local business owners, to provide the finance for this important service again this year.

Jamie Pearn, Chair of Looe Business Forum said: “I am grateful for the support businesses, individuals, and Looe Town Council have shown for this initiative. It is reassuring to know that some of the pressure caused by shoplifting and anti-social behaviour will be eased during the summer – our busiest time of year. This would not have been possible without the business community coming together to make it happen.”

Looe Business Forum and Looe Town Council would like to take this opportunity to wish all our local businesses a safe and prosperous summer season.  Let’s hope the sun shines!
