Separately, Cornwall Council has announced that it will be holding special sessions where the public can watch the council debate and make decisions live online. Council leader Leigh Frost stated that these individual decision days are about "putting accountability and openness at the heart of how the council works." The public will also be able to submit questions to the council in advance of the live-streamed debates, the first of which is scheduled for October 29th.
Additionally, a village in Cornwall recently marked the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar with an annual thanksgiving parade and service. Sailors from RNAS Culdrose and other organizations marched through the streets of Madron on Sunday to remember the battle and honor the legacy of Lord Nelson and the armed forces.
