 Dogs on leads will be allowed to accompany visitors to Plymouth’s cemeteries from later this year.
It's one of the changes we're making to the Public Space Protection Order that covers dog control in Plymouth, as well as enforcement options around fouling, after we asked residents about a number of proposed changes earlier this year.
People who responded were supportive of allowing dogs on leads into cemeteries, so we are introducing this change.
Respondents were also supportive of a limit on how many dogs can be walked at one time in parks and open spaces and the limit will be six.
There was general support for dogs being allowed on sports pitches if kept on a lead, so this will continue.
 There are hidden messages in an eye-catching mural that has been created along the recently upgraded walking and cycling route near the busy Forder Valley (Leigham) Interchange.
The mural created by Plymouth-based James Edgar Studio spans the 48-metre-long retaining wall next to the Forder Valley Local Nature Reserve.
Vertical geometric lines have been painted to mirror the nearby trees and foliage, with different messages being revealed, depending on which side you are approaching from.
 We’re calling on all crafters, knitters and crocheters to help crowd-create a spectacular outdoor poppy display in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday.
We’re hoping to enlist support from individuals, community groups, schools and knitting clubs to make hundreds of poppies out of weatherproof materials to feature in a wave of poppies to be hung from the balcony of the Council House.
The display, which will use a camouflage net donated by 29 Commando, is the idea of our Armed Forces Champion, Councillor Pauline Murphy.
If you can make poppies to feature on the display, please hand them in at the Council House reception before Friday 13 October.
 A celebration of the new King Charles III England Coast Path continues in Plymouth tomorrow (Saturday) with a packed programme of entertainment and activities.

They include guided walks and a range of activities at the Royal William Yard, including sea swimming, stand-up paddleboard taster sessions, leaf printing, science activities, augmented reality artwork, live music, circus skills workshops, RNLI demonstrations and a Children’s Activity Zone.
The King Charles III England Coast Path is a new walking route that will follow the entire coast of England. Much of the existing South West Coast Path is included in the trail.
 Budding space cadets have been having a blast after the UK Space Agency’s 72-feet replica rocket landed in the city centre.

The event is part of a mission to inspire the next generation to pursue careers in the UK space industry.
