The Cremyll Ferry service will return to Admiral’s Hard Slipway in Stonehouse from this Sunday 19 July following the successful completion of essential repair and stabilisation works.

The repairs have helped safeguard one of Plymouth’s most important waterfront assets and ensure the continued operation of the historic ferry link between Plymouth and Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park (Official)

Waterlink Ferry passengers travelling to Mount Edgcumbe will now need to walk from Royal William Yard to Admiral’s Hard to use the Cremyll Ferry for their connection.

📜 A summertime reminder...

A Janner stood proud on the Hoe
Declaring disposable barbies a "no!"
Under Smeaton's great height
They can set grass alight
Sandwiches don't do that, you know 😉🥪

While the sunshine is perfect for picnics and days out, hot, dry conditions mean our parks and open spaces are at greater risk of grass fires. If you're planning a BBQ, please use it at home on a solid surface rather than on grass 🌭🔥

That way, we can all enjoy Plymouth's beautiful green spaces without them becoming a little too well done.
Thank you for helping to keep Plymouth safe this summer 💚☀️

😭 It’s going to be another hot one and it's going to stay hot for a little longer – the UKHSA has extended its red heat alert for the South West until 11pm on Friday evening.

⛈️ But don't worry it's not all heat warnings, we've also got a yellow alert for thunderstorms tonight!

🙄 We know you're fed up of us nagging you about the weather but please take precautions and follow advice on how to stay cool and hydrated, we don't wany anyone fainting on the Barbican.

👇 You can find some top tips in the attached graphic.

👵Anyone can become unwell in very hot weather but we should also look out for those who are at higher risk of becoming seriously unwell in the heat, including older people and those with underlying health conditions.

😮‍💨Remember, the relentless sweating will soon be over and it will be raining again before we know it! Good old British summer, eh?

Have your say, Plymouth 🗣️

We’re asking for your views on the future of a city-wide order that helps tackle alcohol-related anti-social behaviour.

The current Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) is due to expire in October 2026 and we want to know if you think it should continue.

Your feedback will help us understand:

✅ how well it’s working
🏙️ how alcohol-related anti-social behaviour affects you
🔄 whether the order should be extended

The PSPO applies across the whole city and is designed to keep public spaces safe and welcoming for everyone.

Take the survey and share your views 👉 https://bit.ly/4e5qtZg

Closes: 21 June 2026 ⏳

Work to start dismantling the exclusion zone around Evolution Cove will start from this evening after both the Council and Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service deemed the building safe enough for residents to return.

Our highways team will be on site to begin dismantling the traffic management system as well as remove fencing around the exclusion zone.

As there is a significant amount of fencing around the exclusion zone along with cones, cabling and signals that need to be removed, this is expected to take some time. We are aiming for the zone to be removed by 8am tomorrow morning.
Thanks everyone for bearing with us

Bus services will return to the RWY Royal William Yard on the Stonehouse Peninsula from this Saturday – in time for the popular monthly good food and craft market.

We are subsidising a shuttlebus, the 34A, that will serve all stops along Union Street between the Octagon and Stonehouse Roundabout – the stops that are currently used by the service 34. The 34A will then continue to Royal William Yard via the signposted diversions.

Plymouth Citybus will deploy a 24-seater, fully accessible shuttle bus to run every 30 minutes from 7am to 7pm seven days a week.
