Scilly Archive

Scilly News has for a long while not served any up-to-date news.

We have, however, created a Google News section which should hopefully keep you updated with news from the Islands served by other websites. There is a surprising amount being reported on the Islands by the national and international press.

Please visit http://news.google.com/news/section?csid=35461335f00bfe78 to keep yourself updated on Scillonian News.

New Food Inspections to be Imposed

The Isles of Scilly Council has unveiled a new strategy for hygiene inspections of the islands local food businesses to its Councillors this week.

Currently there are two "Category A" food premises which are high risk and will be visited twice a year.

All of the islands other restaurants, cafes, and food outlets will be once a year, as they are in thought to be low risk.

81% of the islands outlets are labelled "Category E" or low risk, this is generally outlets which sell pre-packaged or wrapped food a selection of which will be visited each year.

It is thought that the calls could be made in the evening or weekend due to the islands seasonal business needs.

Radioactive Tapwater to be Tested

The Council is launching an investigation into heightened levels of radon in two of the islands water supplies. The council manages the water on both St.Marys and Bryher the islands whose waters supplies are being looked into.

Though radon is a naturally occurring problem in granite areas it is the second largest cause of lung cancer after smoking and could cause a risk to islanders if it is not controlled.

The water on Bryher has also been found to contain coloforms, a bacteria caused by fecal matter, this is a worrying discovery as the water treatment on the islands should have removed it.

It is hoped that the problem may be remedied by the introduction of a 4th water hole, as the water in the borehole near the Timmys Hill Tanks can become contaminated with sea water if its overused and this is thought to be the cause of the contamination.

Cost is thought to be an issue in the investigation at a time when councillors have also been told that the Desalination plant on St.Marys which is paramount to the islands water supply is coming to the end of its life.

Injured captain saved from gale striken ship

The captain of a cargo ship struck by gale force 10 winds off the Isles of Scilly has been winched to safety after being seriously injured. A rescue helicopter lifted six people from the vessel, two more of whom had sustained less serious injuries. It is thought the three were hurt after a large wave hit the ship causing the cargo to shift. The rescue attempt which began on Friday had to be abandoned overnight because of the severe weather conditions and darkness. The vessel, which had been bringing fruits from Costa Rica was meant to be traveling to Dover but has now been re-routed to Falmouth and is expected to arrive their late this afternoon.

Frustrated Your News Isn't On Scilly News?

As you may have noticed, Scilly News is lacking the regular updates which, thanks to volunteers, it had been blessed with in the past. Our two former notable volunteers are now busy in their current jobs, Issy Taylor who has been working for BBC Radio Cornwall for several years and Beth Hilton who now works for Radio Scilly.

If you feel you would like to contribute on a one-off or regular basis, please do not hesitate to e-mail me, Steve Duncan, at steved at Scilly News.
