Wikipedia surely not wrong?

Graham Smith | 17:46 UK time, Wednesday, 10 August 2011

I don't remember this, but it's Cornwall Councill's , and if it's in Wikipedia it must be true:

Name changes - On the creation of the new unitary authority it was decided that the name of the council would be changed from Cornwall County Council to Cornwall Council (Konsel Kernow). It has also been decided by the council to change the name of their meeting place from New County Hall to Lys Kernow (Cornwall Hall) so as to not use the term county

Someone should tell the council, whose website still insists on calling it County Hall.

    When it comes to Cornwall and the Cornish Wikipedia quite often is stubbornly wrong.

    By the way, Cornwall County Council did not change it's name ... it was formally abolished and a new Unitary Authority established called Cornwall Council (Konsel Kernow) established

    Lys Kernow can also mean Cornwall Palace ... seems apt.

    Bored are ee Graham? blogging about wikipedia, yawn. If you want something good to talk and think about why not have a look at the Penwith anti-cuts website and the planned march to protest about the further downgrading of services at West Cornwall Hospital. Go on give it a try Graham you're always blogging about North Cornwall, why not throw the far west a bone?

    County Hall, Truro

    County Hall is located in Truro on Treyew Road on the outskirts of the city centre.

    Car parking for visitors is limited at County Hall and so we encourage visitors to arrive by public transport where possible. Details of the relevant services are detailed below.



    Hmmm why waste time and money changing it? Lys Kernow? That'll keep all 200 Cornish speakers happy.

    Fully agree about the Cornish speaking hobbyists, with regards to speaking Cornish it would seem knowing Kernow is Cornwall is enough to qualify you are a Cornish speaker, utter rubbish and total waste of money, dodging a name does not deflect it is a county council
