Free Tree Giveaway in Liskeard – Saturday, February 22, 2025

/in /by

Residents of Liskeard and surrounding areas are invited to join the Forest for Cornwall’s tree giveaway event on Saturday, February 22, 2025, from 10:30am to 12:30pm at The Workshed, Fairpark Road (PL14 4BA).

As part of Cornwall’s mission to become carbon neutral, the Forest for Cornwall team is distributing free native tree saplings to encourage tree planting and nature restoration in local communities. This initiative is a fantastic opportunity for residents to contribute to the environment while adding beauty to their gardens.

🌳 Why plant a tree?
Tree planting is a vital tool in the fight against climate change. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, improve air quality, provide habitats for wildlife, and enhance mental wellbeing. By planting just one tree, you’re playing a part in Cornwall’s journey toward a greener future.

📍 Event Details:

  • When: Saturday, February 22, 2025
  • Time: 10:30am–12:30pm
  • Where: The Workshed, Fairpark Road, PL14 4BA

 Boundless Trust, Looe successfully completed their annual Secret Santa project, bringing joy to more than 100 children this festive season with a remarkable 200 gifts—marking a 50% increase over last year’s total.

On behalf of Looe Town Council, we would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to everyone involved in this year’s project. Thanks to the generous contributions from the community, Boundless Trust was able to bring festive cheer to a larger group of families and children in need. The collective effort has made this Christmas extra special for many, with a variety of thoughtful gifts collected and sorted for distribution.

Featured is a picture of Santa’s helpers – a dedicated group of volunteers – hard at work in our council chambers to ensure each gift was wrapped and ready for delivery.

An update on Polperro Road & North Road.

/in /by
We are delighted to have received the following update from Cornwall Highways regarding Polperro Road and North Road, West Looe:
They have said:
” Although we hadn’t planned on providing another update, we are excited to share some important and positive news about the Polperro Road project. The project team have risen to the challenge, and we’re delighted to report that the scaffold was removed yesterday afternoon. With that complete we are now confident all works on Polperro Road will be completed by the end of this Friday, just in time for the festive break, allowing normal traffic flow to resume.
Please note that North Road will remain closed during the holiday period, as we need to complete the reinstatements against the new wall and reconnect the streetlight. We expect to complete these works by the end of the first week in January.
Thank you once again for your collaboration and support. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! “

Looe Shedders

Looe Shedders has launched a fundraising campaign to replace stolen tools.

/in /by
Local community group, Looe Shedders has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to replace power tools that were stolen from its storage units in St. Martin’s church car park in Looe.
“Without these tools we will struggle to complete our community projects, for which we have quite a long list,”said Chris Roy, Looe Shedders’ chairman. “We estimate that replacing these tools and upgrading security at our site will cost around £2000.”
If you would like to support the team, below is a link to the GoFundMe campaign, which features one of Looe Shedders’ community projects – a playground bus for Looe Primary School.
