Gluvian Farm, Mawgan Porth where a couple want to convert a barn into a family home (Image: Google) A family’s plan to convert a barn into a new home in the face of astronomical housing prices have been put on hold after councillors asked for more information to help grant planning permission. Michael and Elizabeth Sterling had applied for permission to convert the barn at Gluvian Farm, Mawgan Porth into a home. Under the proposals, which went before Cornwall Council’s central sub-area planning committee on Thursday, the single storey building would have three bedrooms and parking outside. Mrs Sterling addressed the committee and explained that they did not want to make any changes to the structure of the building and just the inside.

Hello everyone, hoping my column this week finds you and your family healthy and safe. I also would like to ex- tend my condolences to the families of my readers and fans who have lost loved ones since my last column.
Oh my goodness, can you believe itâ we have the opportunity to be able to see and hear out-door live entertainment again? I am very excited to see how this will work. I am not ready to attend an in- door concert yet, but I am open to an outside venue concert depending on how itâs set up. I do believe it is much safer than and an indoor show.
Cornwall Council council chamber (Image: Richard Whitehouse) Cornwall councillors have agreed to freeze their allowances after rejecting an independent panel’s recommendation to increase them. In an often heated debate councillors took more than two and a half hours and five separate votes to decide to keep their allowances at the current rate and only rise in line with any pay increases awarded to council staff. It means that the council’s basic allowance for elected members will remain at £14,472.48. Combined with the reduction of councillors from 123 to 87 after May’s elections the decision will save the council £535,338 a year.
