Neighbourhood Plan Update, May 2015

On March 21st the Community Day displayed results of the Parish Plan Survey – an excellent event with well over a hundred people attending to add even more opinions to the original comments.

Your Neighbourhood Plan committee are still working hard to pull this information together and present it as planning policies.

We need some professional help to do this.  Grant funding is available and Cornwall Council is also committed to providing some help.  Due to unforeseen circumstances the NP Team Leader Geoff is taking a back seat.  What we need now is someone to take charge and spearhead the committee to bring this to a successful conclusion.

Send your details or suggestions to Geoff

ParishMap2The Ramblers Society was present at the Community Day to answer questions and was impressed by the number of people that signed up to help with a working party to improve and maintain the Parish Footpaths.  The report below, identifying the major areas of concern, was sent to Cornwall Council but as yet we’re still waiting for the go ahead.

How long do we wait?   What can we do?   Have some way markers been added?
