PARISH NEWSLETTER CONSEL PLU CARN BRESUMMER 2016

Cllr. R G Drew New Chairman

I am delighted to be elected as Chairman of Carn Brea Parish Council for the next year, having been the Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Planning Committee for the past year.I was born and brought up in Saltash, attending St Stephens

CP School and then Saltash Grammar School. My family came from Cadgwith on the Lizard.In 1966 I went to London for a career in the Metropolitan Police, returning to Cornwall in 2005. My wife Sandra and I live in West Tolgus. We have two children, a daughter working in Falmouth as an accountant, and a son working as a teacher in Dubai, each of whom has given us a grand-daughter.I have always been immensely proud of being Cornish, which when I was working in London often led to serious mickey-taking. Interestingly enough, at my first station posting I worked on a shift with a

sergeant from Launceston and constables from Penzance, Torpoint, and Liskeard. The cry ‘where`s my pasty to?’ was heard frequently, and met with blank expressions from colleagues.I look forward to the next twelve months with excitement, enthusiasm, and energy. There are big new challenges facing town and parish councils in the County, but with Cllr Malcolm Moyle as Vice Chairman, and a strong team of Councillors, Clerk, and staff in Carn Brea Parish we are very well equipped to raise our profile at County level and secure a better future for all our people. Best wishes to you all.

C. E. N. Bickford welcomed members of the Parish and Mr. R. Barratt officiated at the ceremony with Mr. Williams carrying out the duties of Parade Marshall. Fr.

A slide show of the Carn Brea Book of Remembrance was shown while Veterans, serving members of the Forces and local residents enjoyed a light pasty lunch.

Gardening Competition The Parish held its sixth gardening competition in July. All classes in the competition were well represented and the presentation evening in September made an enjoyable evening complete with pasties, saffron buns and a slide show. This year saw the introduction of a new trophy, The Dash Cup for Best Overall Display, in the Community Together Category.

The trophy was kindly donated and presented by the DASH Group. The DASH Trophy was presented to Mrs. Tanya Dovey representing the Appin Garden Community Garden Group (& Little Gem’s Let Us).

This year a total of £1784 was granted to various organisations through grants and donations to help the local community. The Council considers the applications for grants and donations at the Full Council meetings in January and July annually.

DevolutionThe Council continues to be in discussions with Cornwall Council regarding the devolution of areas of land within the Parish.

Pool in BloomThe Pool in Bloom scheme once again brightened the main road through Pool and received many compliments for local residents. Contributions were gratefully received from local businesses. There are now 85 baskets adorning the main road and Moorfield Road.


Parish Newsletter and Website

The Council strives to improve the dissemination of information to the local residents and the Parish Newsletter is a permanent quarterly publication. The website provides information on forthcoming events e.g. gardening competition, Remembrance Service and Carol concert. Councillor information, contact details, agendas and minutes from Full Council meetings are available on the site.

Planning CommitteeOver the period January 2015 to December 2015 the Planning Committee has considered a total of 86 planning applications in its role as a statutory consultee on behalf of the parish. The Committee supported 67 applications, objected to 15 applications, 2 applications were noted and I application was incomplete. The Committee is awaiting the outcome of one request for a site visit.

Treloweth Community Hall and Open SpaceTreloweth Community Hall is used most evenings for classes and community activities including slimming club, fusion yoga and charity fund raising events.

Treloweth Community Hall and Moorfield Road Open Space continues to be the subject of vandalism with plants being removed from the sensory garden and granite benches being destroyed. The damaged bench has been replaced.

Local residents have raised concerns about the likelihood of a young child or dog leaving the park unsupervised and getting into the road outside, with the potential for an accident. This has led the Council to improve the gateways on Moorfield Road open space.

A display of Flanders poppies flourished in the bed surrounding the War Memorial wall and will be replaced for the next season to commemorate those that have fallen during conflict. Areas around the avenue of trees were seeded and will be seeded again this year with collection of wild flowers. The hall also contains a collection of old photographs and prints of the parish. This collection has been extended during the year and is in the process of being catalogued.

To book the Treloweth Community Hall please contact:

Mrs. J. Baker on 01209 717332

Community updatesThe Council has had discussions with Cornwall Council to install new road signs marking the location of Pencoys and its distinction from Four Lanes. Cllr. D. Elliott CC and Mr. B. Dickinson from Cormac have helped the Council to bring this project to fruition.

The Council is in the process of restoring the BT telephone kiosk at Piece (outside the Countryman Inn) to its bright red colour.

The 1st Pool Brownies have helped to enhance the area on Church Road (opposite Pool Academy) with the planting of

bulbs. Brownies and their leaders attended the area with Cllr. R. Drew to fill the newly installed planters with bulbs. They were rewarded for their hard work with cupcakes and drinks.

The Handypersons have planted various areas in the Parish with spring/autumn bulbs to bring a splash of colour into the community. Local residents have kindly donated shrubs and these have been located around the Treloweth Hall area.

Police LiaisonIt is a pleasure to report that our locally generated system of b-monthly meetings with our Neighbourhood policing Team has been recognised as best practice and is to be rolled out across the rest of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Pat on the back for Carn Brea!

The meetings are attended by all neighbouring town and parish councils, from Camborne to Carharrack and from Stithians to Portreath, with each council having appointed a Police Liaison councillor. Meetings are held at council offices across the area on a rolling basis.

Exchanges between us are frank and robust, and the officers attending are to be commended for the hard work and endeavour they display in responding to concerns raised with them.

Financial restrictions on policing emanating from Whitehall have translated into changes in policing provision locally as commanders struggle to achieve best value with a diminishing budget.

Regrettably a decision has now been made to close the police base in Heartlands and require the team to operate from Camborne Police Station. On the bright side, the team remains in existence, which was not always guaranteed, and we have decided to make our Parish Offices available to the team to use during our opening hours.

If you have a policing concern please contact us, we may be able to help.

Government Legislation & Consultation DocumentsThe Parish Council continues to see a plethora of changes to Government Legislation. This year has seen further regulations and guidelines to encourage greater transparency and January 2017 is the staging date for pensions. The Council has been consulted on a diverse number of issues including the closure of libraries, the Devon & Cornwall ‘engagement Activity with Town & Parish Councils’ and the Cornwall Council Trading Review.

DUDNANCE LANE RECYCLING CENTREThrough the Cornwall Council Integrated Waste Management Contract the Council currently intends to develop a new household waste recycling centre (HWRC) and Re-use Centre behind the existing small recycling centre on Dudnance Lane, Pool. The new HWRC will serve the wider Camborne, Pool and Redruth area.The proposed HWRC will be a split-level facility, similar to the new HWRCs that have been developed at Falmouth and St Erth, which will greatly improve vehicle throughput and ease of use by HWRC customers. The Re-use Centre will be adjacent but separate to the HWRC and will comprise a parking area and building where re-use items can be processed and sold to members of the public.The new HWRC and Re-use Centre will

be accessed via Dudnance Lane and Forth Kegyn, with a new access road provided from Forth Kegyn. As well as improving vehicle throughput the HWRC design also includes space within the site to accommodate queuing vehicles, with the intention that vehicle queues will not extend on to the public highway.It is intended that the existing small recycling facility on Dudnance Lane will close when the new HWRC becomes operational.The Council intends to instruct its Waste Contractor, Suez, to prepare a planning application for the new HWRC and Re-use Centre shortly, with the planning application to be submitted to the Cornwall Council Planning Authority later on this year.

The current contract at Cardrew has to terminate but both primary care/registered patients and walk-in elements will continue to be provided, albeit at different sites. These sites, however, remain close to people’s homes/where people reside. The vision is to develop a fully integrated NHS Urgent Care Centre at Camborne-Redruth Community Hospital. General Practice receptionists would give patients the choice of attending

the UCC or come into the practice. Through general practices in the area working together, the entire population of North Kerrier will benefit. The offer for walk-in/urgent care is greater than that currently provided, representing improved services for patients.(Condensed from an 8 page Paper for Cornwall Health Overview & Scrutiny Committee)

Future of Cardrew Drop-In Centre

Carn Brea village’s newest resident - Emily Wassell

I have just moved to Carn Brea Village from Canterbury in Kent and I have been teaching violin viola and piano for 14 years. I began learning violin at the age of 3 as my parents were both musiciansI have enjoyed teaching in many different settings, including state schools, private schools, privately from home and in a Steiner School in Kent. I teach both group violin and individual violin viola and piano lessons.The biggest regret I hear from most people upon learning that I am a musician is that they either didn’t continue their lessons or that they didn’t start. It is well documented, that learning an instrument is incredibly beneficial to children, and includes helping with their mathematical ability, reading and comprehension, an increase in memory and responsibility, time management, exposure to cultural history, concentration, social and listening skills, a sense of achievement and self-expression and release of feelings. Children who learn a musical instrument from an early age are also linked to having a higher IQ. It can also be an incredibly self loving thing to learn in older years, and lessons can provide structure, social connection and expression. Whatever your reason for wanting to start learning an instrument, it is never too late. It is for these reasons that I am passionate about providing music lessons for as many people schools and children that I am physically able to reach. For any more information or to inquire about lessons please do not hesitate to contact me on 07939492426 or at [email protected]

Broad Lane 20mph zoneFollowing comments and complaints from residents about the ‘build-out’ in Higher Broad Lane near North Pool Road, which marks the start and finish of a 20mph zone, the Council has pressed for the build-out to be moved, or preferably removed. We have been fully supported by Cllr Derek Elliott the local County Councillor. Highways have recently proposed the removal of the build-out and the placing of a mini-roundabout in Broad Lane at the junction with Balkin Way. This feature would then mark the start/finish of the 20mph zone. We would like to hear your thoughts on this proposed change.

Treloweth Open SpaceWe can announce that we have successfully bid for funding to buy and erect football goal posts in Treloweth Open Space, next to our offices. We hope this new facility will encourage the young people of the area to be involved in physical exercise, burn off some calories, and do something which does not involve a screen and tapping buttons. The posts will arrive for the summer holidays.

Crime Prevention Advice

The local police have asked us to remind people to look after and secure their property now that (we hope) Summer is on its way. Leaving windows and doors open, sheds and garages open, is fine when you are supervising. Please don`t forget what has been opened when you leave your home, or you might come back to a problem.

Neighbourhood Plan

Last time we mentioned our Working Group that was looking at this idea. Since then the Group has reported to the Full Council, and the Council has decided we should create a Neighbourhood Plan for this Parish. We are carrying out preparatory work and in due course will be asking the community for their views on where development might be encouraged and also places where it should not, and what types of development we would like to see.

We will keep you advised on how the project is progressing.
