An Nowodhow - Read along with the news in Kernewek

PRESENTER James Churchfield:

We start this week with new government measures that aim to stem the rise in short term lets in Cornwall and protect local residents from being pushed out of their communities by property prices. These powers were requested as part of Cornwall Councils recent devolution negotiations.

In this story you can hear the word 鈥补苍苍别诲丑鈥 鈥 this means 鈥榓bode鈥 or 鈥榙welling鈥. This is also the basis of the word for inhabitants or residents, so see if you can pick out that one as well.

This week鈥檚 Cornish is read by Duncan McIntosh.

TRANSLATION:

New government measures could regulate holiday properties and restrict the spread of short-term lets in Cornwall.听

Councils will be given greater powers to control short-term lets by making them subject to the planning process, officials said.

They said the move aimed to protect local residents from being pushed out of communities by property prices.听

Secretary of State for Levelling Up Michael Gove said the changes would help "cherished communities".

The proposed planning changes would see a new planning "use class" created for short-term lets not used as a sole or main home.听

Existing dedicated short-term lets would automatically be reclassified into the new use class and would not require a planning application, officials said.听

Officials said that the proposals were part of a long-term plan to prevent any "hollowing out" of communities, address anti-social behaviour and ensure local people could continue to live in the place they called home.

Cornwall Council leader Linda Taylor, said that these powers were requested as part of the devolution negotiations.

She said she welcomed the changes that will help prevent the increase in the number of short term lets in many of Cornwall鈥檚 beautiful towns and villages鈥.

PRESENTER:

So that word for residents was annedhysi 鈥 that鈥檚 the plural, 鈥榬esidents鈥 (just one resident would be anedhyas).

There鈥檚 another related word in our next story 鈥 Prince William has announced plans to build new homes on Duchy of Cornwall land as part of an effort to tackle homelessness 鈥 or dianethter.

And of course you鈥檒l also hear both Duk a Gernow (Duke of Cornwall) and 鈥Duketh Kernow鈥. The -eth ending is a common way of making an abstract noun.

There鈥檚 a placename 鈥 Newquay - in this story as well, see if you can pick that out.

RECORDING 2:

TRANSLATION

Prince William, the Duke of Cornwall, has announced plans to build 24 homes on Duchy of Cornwall land to help tackle homelessness.

The Duchy said the construction of the homes in Nansledan, Newquay, would begin in September and the first homes are due to be completed in autumn 2025.

They will be built in partnership with homelessness charity St Petrocs.

The prince听wants to end homelessness as part a major five-year campaign launched in 2023.

The first phase of the development will focus on "creating high quality temporary accommodation that feels like home", the Duchy said.

It said "wrap around support" would be provided by St Petrocs to help residents access training and employment opportunities.

Ben Murphy, the Duchy's estate director, said the homes would help "break the cycle of homelessness in the Newquay area".

The Duchy confirmed its future housing projects in Nansledan would aim to increase affordable housing from 30% to 40%.

PRESENTER:

Newquay is of course 鈥楾ewenblustri鈥.

And on to this last story this morning. A man from Essex has travelled down to Cornwall after a couple discovered a collection of family photographs whilst renovating their new home and posted about it via TikTok.

The word for photograph is skeusen, which in this story appears as the plural 鈥榮keusennow鈥.

TRANSLATION

A man from Essex has travelled to Cornwall to collect long-lost memorabilia that was discovered by a couple renovating their new bungalow.

Gary Faux is the nephew of Eric and Margaret Mailes, who are believed to have lived in the house previously.

While renovating their new bungalow in Dobwalls, Rosie Harkon and Ryan Burke found piles of old photos in the eaves of the roof.

They set up a TikTok account听to document the renovation听and one video gained more than seven million views.

Mr Faux said that vicar - who had married them 鈥 said that she saw the story on 大象传媒 News and recognised the name of one of the people mentioned.

The Fauxs said they enjoyed looking through the old photographs, which featured many family members which they described as 鈥榯reasured memories鈥.
