The Saltash Ferry, which connects Plymouth and the town, will continue to operate weekends only in October and the week of the half-term holiday.

The council confirmed ticket prices would remain at 拢5 for adults, 拢2.50 for children (aged between three to 15), free for children aged two and under, and 拢2.50 for bikes.
The foot ferry can hold up to 70 passengers and runs between the Royal William Yard and Jubilee Pontoon.

TRANSLATION
According to the charity, Falmouth lifeboat station will get a Shannon class lifeboat. It will officially go on service next year, alongside the station's current Atlantic 85 vessel.
The Shannon lifeboat is propelled by water jets which makes it more agile. It has technology that allows crew members to access navigational information from anywhere in the boat's wheelhouse.
Lifeboat operations manager at Falmouth, Nick Lewis, said: "This is really exciting news for the station."
Mr Lewis said there will be "a period of training鈥� for the crew.
Falmouth is one of the busiest lifeboat stations in Cornwall. PRESENTER: Our final story concerns the news that a dozen voluntary groups in Cornwall have been nominated for a 2024 King鈥檚 Award for Voluntary Service. Some words to listen out for are: pewas [PUW-ass], award, ertach [ER-tatch], heritage, kansrann [CANS-ran], percentage.

TRANSLATION
A Cornwall Council spokesman said the 12 nominated groups were recognised at a reception at County Hall. The award is the highest recognition for voluntary groups in the UK. Col Sir Edward Bolitho said it was a "very proud moment" to see so many of Cornwall's "brilliant voluntary groups nominated". "Cornwall has a strong heritage of volunteering, with an estimated 32% of people volunteering, well above the national average," he said. "The King鈥檚 Award for Voluntary Service celebrates groups that are truly outstanding and make a tangible difference to their local community." Equivalent to an MBE, The King鈥檚 Award for Voluntary Service is awarded for life. That鈥檚 all from me, have a good week.

PRESENTER: This week鈥檚 An Nowodhow was written and read by Kensa Broadhurst and the editor was Steve Harris.
