There’s been increasing discussion on here, in the news, and around the recent Channel 4 programme about water companies across the UK.
Rather than multiple separate threads going in circles, we’re considering inviting South West Water to take part in a structured Ask Me Anything here on /r/Cornwall.
The Ask Me Anything would take place as so -
A single, scheduled and moderated thread where named South West Water representatives will be invited to answer questions directly from Cornish residents and /r/Cornwall users.
This would not be a promotional post for South West Water in any way. It would be an opportunity for Cornish residents and /r/Cornwall users to ask direct questions about their operations and decision-making across the county.
If it went ahead, it would involve:
• A scheduled Ask Me Anything thread
• A time-limited live response window
• Named representatives from SWW
• No pre-approval of questions
• No removal of critical questions unless they break subreddit rules
If there are relevant Cornwall-based organisations or individuals who want to submit questions constructively, they would also be welcome to participate in the same thread.
Before we reach out to them, let’s see how many people would support it with a poll.
Please vote and keep comments sensible and grounded.
Cheers

Hi everyone,
I’ve added post flairs to help organise things a bit better in this sub moving forward.
When you create a post now, you’ll be able to tag it as:
• News
• Events
• Recommendations
• Housing
• Business
• Tourism
• Discussion
• Good News
• Jobs
• Photography / Videography
As r/Cornwall has grown past 55k subscribers, I wanted to bring a bit more structure to future posts so both new and existing users can filter content more easily.
By creating clearer categories, there should also be more scope for people to post the kind of content they want to see, and a clearer direction to support what’s happening across the county, not just pretty pictures.
More local going on's.
If you think something’s missing, or a category should be tweaked, please say so below. I’d like to shape the sub around how people actually use r/Cornwall.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Rob

Hi everyone,
I am a private crafter based in the U.S., and I am working on a special project making mythological and Arthurian-inspired pendants. I am trying to find someone who lives near or visits Bodmin Moor who would be willing to collect a small vial of water from Dozmary Pool and ship it to me.
I want to use the water to quench a Nimue pendant I’m working on after the firing process to give her a real connection to the Excalibur legend.
I do not need a lot—just a small, secure plastic bottle or vial full. I am happy to pay for your time, fuel, the container, and the international shipping costs via PayPal or whatever method works best for you.
If anyone is headed that way or lives nearby and wants to help a fellow maker out, please send me a DM. Thank you so much!
Attached is the pendant I’ve been working on 🖤

EDIT: Traffic is moving again now.
If anybody is thinking of driving through Launceston today, i'd find an alternative route, the A388 (St. Thomas Road) is blocked by a fallen power line and traffic has been at a complete standstill for ages.

Well... Perranporth has lost power :/

I'm working on a project to identify populated localities (hamlets, towns, estates etc.) within Cornwall where there is no viable mobile phone signal from any mobile operator. These areas are usually known as not spots. If you know of any please shout out. Your suggestions will help us optimise our analysis of the data being collected as part of a county wide signal survey by the company Streetwave on behalf of Cornwall Council.
Thanks for your help.

Can anyone recommend an artist who does prints of Lands End / Enys Dodnan Point?
My partner and I got engaged there this week and would love to get a piece of art to mark the occasion!

Evening all.
This is a request to the landowners here in r/Cornwall to ask if you'd mind if I did a spot of metal detecting on your land? I'm respectful and mindful that the land is your income - I would stay within pre-agreed boundaries and be careful to close gates etc. Any rubbish I find on my travels I will gladly collect and dispose of too.
I'm just over the bridge in Plymouth but I am looking to move to Cornwall next year (will need to adjust my scone jam/cream methods I know).
I'm a member of the National Metal Detecting Council (NMDC) which covers me with public liability insurance, and I know how to dig a hole without butchering your grounds.
I'm happy to share with you all my finds, and l'm more than happy to provide a permission agreement if that's something you'd like.
It's myself and occasionally my young daughter, who apparently now loves a bit of history, finding treasure and being outdoors!
Let me know if this is something you'd be open to. I'd definitely throw in a bottle of single malt for your kindness!

A few months a go I started playing DnD with my friends as the dm. This has been great fun and I’ve really enjoyed it but I do miss playing. Just a quick search incase there is anyone playing any ttrpgs that need/want another player?
Many thanks and hope your all having a beauty day!

We've had our latest bill today from SWW. They want to take our monthly payment up from £45/month to £115/month.
Which seems like daylight robbery to me - how can they justify this massive price hike?
Just to clarify - this is the same amount of water we have consistently used since we moved in to our current property since 2018.

Hi, we’re four friends putting together restaurants across Cornwall in an app called Vota. We’ve already got a lot of ratings from Cornwall locals, so feel free to browse the current take on the area.
The idea is simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example: two very different places like Paul Ainsworth at No6 in Padstow or Mackerel Sky Seafood Bar in Newlyn? The votes then create a ranking that we hope gives a better picture of where people actually enjoy eating.
We’re trying to include as many restaurants as possible and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will spot things we’ve missed.
iPhone:

Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app
Full transparency: we’re not from Cornwall. Two of us live in Copenhagen and two in Sweden. The four of us are building Vota independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated restaurant opinions.
No need to rate anything, feel free to just browse. Where do you like to eat in Cornwall?

Hello, could anyone tell me where I can buy Callestick ice cream in Penzance? An elder relative is keen on it and we'd like to get them some.
