Mephedrone is continuing to grow in popularity, despite being banned nearly a year ago.

The drug has become easily available through the internet, according to a report from nightclubbing magazine Mixmag.

It found that 75% of 2500 nightclubbers surveyed have used the drug since it was banned.

10% even said their usage had increased during this time.

Websites offer the drug mixed with other legal substances, creating Research Chemicals. These compounds are not currently illegal.

Students at the Combined Universities in Cornwall will benefit

Faster internet access could make homes and businesses in Cornwall £400 million richer and create up to 4,000 jobs in the next five years .

Cornwall Council has agreed to invest £1 million on getting faster broadband connection across the county. 

It is supporting the Cornwall Next Generation Broadband Project, with a contribution which represents just under a quarter of the project's overall cost.

Robert Hatcher, from Cornwall-based www.jumpmedia.org,explains what the funding will mean.
