Our family has a home in the village. However a number of the family would also like to camp as close to Perranuthnoe as possible @ the Easter weekend 2014. This also includes us in our VW camper.
I am assuming that the local pubs welcome well behaved dogs?
We would appreciate any contact details for camping.
Thank you Ian.

Update On White Waxy Substance Found On Beach
Cornwall Council have issued an update to the substance found on beaches in our area. It appears to be cooking oil which has turned rancid.
Cornwall Council has advised that while the degraded oil is not harmful to human health, it could still be dangerous for dogs if they eat a large amount of the substance.

Attention Dog Owners
Due to the following complaint please take note of the information below;
"Its time that the residents of the village started to name and shame dog owners that do not clear up after their dogs. I am appalled at the amount of dog mess there is around the village and the coastal path it is even in private driveways and parking areas.I am writing this as a dog owner. Why should the minority spoil it for everybody."
Information for Dog Owners Visitors and Locals
Cornwall Council operates a zero tolerance policy towards dog fouling. Following standardisation of control orders across Cornwall - from the 16th July 2010 it is an offence not to clean up after your dog (and properly dispose of faeces) on all land to which the public are entitled access by way of payment or not.
All of the publicly accessed land in Cornwall is therefore designated and includes beaches, footpaths, roads, playing fields, verges and certain private land.
- The fixed penalty notice fee for failing to remove dog faeces is £80.00 (£50.00 if paid within 10 days).
- Prosecution may result in fines of up to £1000.00
Under the Act no offence is committed if:
- The person in charge of the dog is registered blind.
- The landowner, on whose land the fouling has taken place, has given consent for the faeces to be left on the ground.
If you would like to report dog fouling - Cornwall Council will investigate all complaints that are received - although the level of service that they can provide will obviously vary depending upon the quality of information that is provided. For example they would be in a better position to take action should you be able to provide a full description of what happened (including date, time, location, what you witnessed, description of the dog/owner and as much information as possible about the incident - also any information regarding the offender - which could include name/address (if known), vehicle registration number or any other identifying feature.
It is only with people getting involved and reporting problems in their neighbourhood that they will be able to solve more problems and take more enforcement action on issues such as dog fouling.
If you would like any more information or wish to report a problem, please either e-mail envhealthandlicensing@cornwall.gov.uk or telephone to talk to your local Dog Welfare and Enforcement Officer on 0300 1234 212.

Village Dog Gets Bitten By Adder
Jake, a retired Greyhound was bitten by an adder while out on a walk with his owner yesterday. They were on the coastal path, Cudden side, when the incident happened.
Jake's owner, Karl said,
"I was walking on the dirt track and Jake was walking right beside me on the grass. He suddenly let out a yelp, I turned to look at him and he was holding his back leg off the ground. First I thought he had trodden on something but it then became obvious it was more than that. He laid on the floor and started kicking his back leg out as if he was trying to get something off. I inspected his foot and leg but could see nothing ."
Karl took Jake to an emergency vet in Truro where he was given a cocktail of drugs which includes Steroids, Antihistamine, Antibiotics and an Opiate based pain killer. He was kept in overnight and this morning has been transferred to a vet in Penzance where he is being kept on a drip to help flush out any toxins left in his body. Although distressed and in some pain Karl said Jake is doing fine and he looks forward to picking him up later today.
The adder is not an aggressive snake, it strikes only in self-defence when it feels threatened. They have a pair of fangs which inject an efficient and fast-acting poison. In an emergency they bite and flee so the victim may never know what bit them.
Adder venom is extremely unpleasant and can be very damaging to the affected area so any suspicion of an adder-bite should lead to medical attention as soon as possible.
For smaller animals like dogs and cats any inexplicable pain or swelling, especially in spring when adders awake from hibernation, should be seen by a vet as soon as possible.
Adders are very sensitive to vibration so the best way to make sure your path is clear is to carry a stick and occasional beat the ground in front of you with it.
