Burger King gives £3K for mural
Burger King has given £3,000 to recreate a mural in Newquay after another next to its outlet was painted over.

The youth organisation behind the mural, My A’th Kar Newquay, which means “I Love You Newquay” in Cornish, was saddened by the incident in February.
Burger King said it “strongly supported” My A’th Kar Newquay.

Newquay cottages to become preservation project
Some of Newquay’s oldest buildings will be preserved thanks to a £170,000 grant.
