I WAS pleased to join forces with Mark Warren from Newquay BID this week to push Cornwall Council highways on something that has been long overdue.

The state of our road markings and signage is, frankly, not good enough.

As Cornwall’s premier tourist destination, it is embarrassing that visitors are navigating faded lines and confusing signs. It is no coincidence that tourists find themselves driving the wrong way down one-way streets.

This is not just an image problem, it is a genuine safety issue, and I will keep pressing until we see real action.

On a far brighter note, I was absolutely thrilled to hear that Newquay Surf Life Saving Club’s Masters team travelled to Cardiff to compete at the nationals and won by a landslide. What an achievement.

What makes it even more special is the journey that has brought them here, a club that has nurtured young people from Sandhoppers at age four all the way through to the Masters competing at national level.

That kind of long-term commitment to community and sport is exactly what makes Newquay special. You have done this town immensely proud. Enjoy the final days of the Easter holidays, Newquay.

The weather is looking a bit quieter this week.

Mild with southerly winds. Hopefully it will get rid of the big swell, which is not good for inshore fishing.

The last gig having winter maintenance Dall Lewer is almost finished.

Crews are out training for Scillies championships as much as possible.

It seemed to be very busy in the town over Easter fortnight.

This Saturday Bow River is playing at Newquay Rowing Club at an earlier time of 7pm.

Thought for the week: “Knowledge is power, but wisdom is the key to unlock it “
