Only 6 postcodes have any housing (flats) that are affordable for 2 people on a median Cornish income. These are also the places with fewest available properties. This is not about supply and demand in Cornwall. https://t.co/jV0kZXQmij

Absolutely delighted that there is a clear path for Cornwall to continue single Local Authority (devolved) governance, and to avoid the need for an elected Mayor. Great work by local campaigners and also our MP's. https://t.co/EYyVjt1cr6

Thinking through how to move our Cornish economy forward means considering good ideas from all over the world. It was our great pleasure last week to host #EdgyMatters academics from the US, China, Sweden, Italy, Ireland, and Scotland. @HaSSCornwall @UniofExeterESI
Really enjoyed connecting w fellow peripheries nerds last week in Cornwall at @regstud EdgeNet’s paper workshop. Can’t imagine a better place to discuss non-core regions in transition than on field trips to a lithium mine and coastal tourism towns! @JoanieWillett @PughRhiannon
