The Bush Inn launched a takeaway service this weekend to mitigate the effects of the firebreak lockdown.

The 16th-century coaching inn, which once featured in an episode of BBC Sherlock, has been trading in St Hilary for ten years, so staff were grateful for the support of local patrons.

Mark Drakeford has set out what Coronavirus restrictions will be in place once the firebreak lockdown ends on Monday 9 November.

Mr Drakeford said people, not rules, are at the heart of Wales' response to the ongoing pandemic: "Everyone in Wales has an important part to play in helping to prevent the spread of coronavirus – and this means thinking carefully about the contact we all have with other people.

Unfortunately, an earlier version of this article got the figures severely wrong. We apologise for any confusion caused.

There have been 15 cases in Cowbridge between 23 October and 29 October, compared to 6 reported for the week before.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Even though Halloween in Cowbridge isn't going to be quite the same this year, that hasn't stopped you from getting spooky!

The conservation group SAVE Britain's Heritage has revealed a proposal to turn the former Cowbridge girls' comprehensive school into apartments, as an alternative to the current plans to demolish the building.

More than 5,500 local people petitioned the Welsh Assembly to halt the demolition of the landmark Victorian School on Aberthin Road, but the Hafod Housing Association which is seeking planning permission to level the school has insisted it lacks the funds to preserve the old buildings.

A severe weather warning has been issued for towns across the Vale, including Cowbridge.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning about heavy rain in Cowbridge lasting from today until Sunday 1 November, that could cause flooding and disruption to transport.

A Cowbridge woman has started delivering free lunches to families struggling to cope during half-term.

Micaela Turner started a food donation service over the weekend in response to the UK government rejecting the motion to extend the provision of free school meals during holidays until Easter 2021.

In line with Welsh Government rules, the Tesco Express on Cowbridge High Steet has been selling sanitary products since the beginning of the firebreak.

This confirms that yesterday's outrage over the apparent classing of sanitary products as "non-essential" items stems from a mistake made by Tesco's social media team.
