In August 2025, following a motion to full Council, the Council agreed to allow time for a community-led solution to be developed to support reopening of the hydrotherapy pool at St Austell Leisure Centre....Despite the best endeavours by all parties over the last nine months, and the allocation of capital funding from the Council’s budgets, it has not been possible to reach an agreement on the viability, risk and deliverability of the reopening of the facility....The Council acknowledge the benefits of hydrotherapy and are grateful to the community-led group, and particularly to Cllr German, for the commitment they and he have shown in seeking a community-led solution.

A new report focusing on mental health and wellbeing in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly calls for greater investment in prevention, early intervention and community support.This year’s annual report from Cornwall’s Director of Public Health (DPH), Dr Eunan O’Neill, and DPH for the Isles of Scilly, Katie Ash, highlights the importance of good mental health in every aspect of life and sets out the challenges facing our residents.It reveals that around 77 people lose their lives to suicide each year in Cornwall, with suicide rates remaining higher than the national average.Drawing on research and the experiences of residents, the report demonstrates that mental health is shaped by more than healthcare services alone.Evidence shows that strong relationships, a sense of belonging, financial security, safe and stable housing, and opportunities to take part in community life play a key role.People across our communities also highlighted the barriers they face, including stigma, rural isolation...Every life lost to suicide, drug and alcohol-related harm, or the impacts of trauma, poverty and social isolation is one too many....The evidence and the voices of local people tell us that if we want to improve mental health and save lives, we must focus not only on services but also on the conditions that help people thrive.

Cornish Language Given Enhanced StatusIn November 2025, the UK Government moved Kernewek, the Cornish language, to Part III status under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, offering it greater protection and support.The Charter is a treaty to protect and promote regional or minority languages in Europe, (including Welsh, Manx, Basque, Sami and other languages) recognising their significant cultural heritage.Implications for SchoolsThe Cornish language is part of Cornwall’s distinct cultural identity, and part of what makes it such a special place to learn and live....Every young person growing up in Cornwall should have the opportunity to develop the sense of confidence, belonging and pride that comes from a shared understanding of cultural heritage and identity.Our ambition is that all children in Cornwall leave primary school with an awareness of and connection to the Cornish language, reflecting local priorities and this renewed enhanced status.To support this, a set of practical, entry level resources has been developed through the Go Cornish programme....These resources are designed to be light-touch, supporting teaching, not just around key points in the year such as St Piran’s Day and Speak Cornish Week, but also complementing the wider curriculum all year round.Schools are encouraged to take advantage of these materials as a positive step towards developing an awareness of the Cornish language.
