NEWSWAVE - Budgets and Baubles

Join our reporter Tom Howe for NEWSWAVE, your weekly rundown of the top stories happening across St Austell and surrounding areas. In the latest episode, we join community champion Michael Bunney, who celebrates the vibrancy of Cornwall as we head into the festive season. We check in with John Brown, CEO of Cornwall Chamber of Commerce, who provides his reaction to the recent Budget on behalf of the Duchy, alongside Kasia Elliott, General Manager at Fowey Hall Hotel, who gives us a local picture. As well as that, we take a trip into the world of self-assessment tax returns with Ruth Forrest from HMRC who encourages early filing ahead of the upcoming deadline. We hear from Amanda Masters, Area Fundraiser at Children's Hospice South West, who discusses Christmas tree recycling with JustHelping and Biffa, plus fundraising events like 'Breakfast with Santa'… …and we welcome Molly Sexton, a student at Falmouth University, who reports on protests in the town against AI's lack of creativity and environmental impact.If you live or work in the St Austell area and have a news story for us, contact [email protected].
