Gardens of Mercy UPDATE


 07/09/24 We submitted the application yesterday. I have attached a document containing all the details of the proposal that we provided in the application. We hope that the details of our proposal, as shown in the document, will help to further alleviate people’s apprehensions and help gain the local community’s support for our project. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information. Kind regards Salim.

29/08/24 UPDATE …. in a few days we will be submitting the planning application. We have received the Tier 1 Risk Assessment report (copy attached). We also made another presentation last evening to the Rotary Club members of Callington with an updated version of the slides. I am attaching the updated presentation, especially as it includes a few new realistic looking architectural designs, replacing the original ‘glossy’ ones. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Salim salim_mahadik@hotmail.com

Here is the updated presentation given to the Callington Rotary club followed by the Tier I Risk Assessment report sent to me today.

Following the spotting of a typing error the Tier 1 report has been updated. 2/9/24

East Cornwall Search and Rescue


East Cornwall Search and Rescue Team is a charity made up of over 40 unpaid volunteers who are on call 24/7, 365 days of the year, supporting statutory emergency services to search and rescue missing persons. Each year it costs around £25,000 to keep the team running, we do not receive any funding from the Government and therefore heavily rely on public generosity.

We are proud to announce that one of our Search Dogs has recently qualified and is now able to assist the team in searches for High Risk Missing Persons. TegOrs who lives in the parish and his handler have worked tirelessly for over two years. Massive congratulations to them both for the incredible work put in. TegOrs brother Mac is not far behind and will hopefully qualify this year.
