Calling All Business Owners! Looe Town Council is launching an exciting new initiative, and we’d love for you to be part of it. Maintaining Looe’s public toilet facilities is a significant expense for the town, with no external funding to help cover the cost. To support this vital service, we’re introducing:

Looe’s Loos – A Community Advertising Opportunity.

All proceeds from this advertising scheme will go directly toward the upkeep of our public toilets.This is an introductory offer subject to change per year.

What This Means for Your Business:

This is a unique chance to advertise your business, event, or service to a wide and varied audience, directly in our well-used public toilet facilities.

  • Promote your shop, restaurant, event, or something a little out of the ordinary!

  • Choose from 1 to 10+ poster placements across our facilities.

  • Includes a 12-month contract with the flexibility to update your posters or artwork up to 4 times a year.

  • Reach approximately 150,000 people annually who use Looe’s public toilets!

This is not just advertising but  a chance to support a crucial local service while boosting your business visibility.

Keeping Looe Safe: Town Security Returns for Summer 2025

/in /by

Looe Business Forum and Looe Town Council are pleased to welcome back Poseidon Town Security from Saturday 26th July to Tuesday 2nd 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!

Mayor Stephen Remington Explores Seagrass in Looe with Marine Conservation Group!

/in /by

On Saturday, 5 July, Mayor Stephen Remington joined the exploration for Seagrass in Looe Bay, organised by the Looe Marine Conservation Group and led by Eden Stevens, a seagrass specialist from the Ocean Conservation Trust.

We spoke with Stephen who said: “Although the weather was a little damp and underwater visibility poor, this was a fascinating trip and the discussion at the Heritage Centre afterwards was useful. Seagoers who drop anchors have a lot to learn about the impact on these precious plants and all of us who love the oceans can cooperate to protect them. Many thanks to LMCG and to Eden.”
