Cllrs. Rogers, Leo & Greenwood -Penny

Chair Sue Nicholas opened the meeting at 7pm and welcomed everyone.

 

 

10/22/02 Declarations of Interest – None  
10/22/03 20 Minute public speaking period

Mr Rowe spoke in relation to concerns he had about the boundary hedge that borders the footpath/walkway that runs from Queens Way to South Road in Goldsithney, which is directly opposite his property. He felt that it was overgrown and requires cutting back. Cars park alongside it both during the day and evening. Vehicles and pedestrians were having to  negotiate around the parked vehicles and  walk out around them. He was hopeful the Parish Council, could see the merit of suggesting that the hedge be trimmed and be able to involve the correct agencies to carry it out. Cllrs did agree with him and pointed out that the responsibility to cut it back lay in the ownership of the hedge. The hedge borders 8 individual properties in South Road and would have been the responsibility of the housing association (Live West) who originally owned them. Some have subsequently been sold and are now in private ownership  and it was difficult to assess if the hedge was part of their land. The Clerk agreed to contact Highways department at Cornwall Council to see if they could determine ownership. Findings would be relayed to the Parish Council and Mr Rowe.

This application will be reported to the Planning Committee for it to decide. The Committee meeting will be at 10.00 am on 17 October 2022 and take place in the Council Chamber Dolcoath Avenue, Camborne, TR14 8SX.

Our Divisional Cornwall Councillor Tara Sherfield Wong would be representing Perranuthnoe Parish Council  at this meeting. Cllr Sherfield-Wong had been briefed and a report given to her by the Chairman.

 
10/22/10 Clerks Report

A text message received from Tara Sherfield -Wong had been received by the clerk today Monday 17th October at 16.40. Its contents were that Tara would not be sending a report for tonight’s Parish Council meeting  as she had been unwell with flu all weekend. It was also the reason she had not attended the Cornwall Council Planning meeting at Camborne earlier in the day where she was to represent Perranuthnoe Parish Council. The clerk was disappointed that she had been informed so late in the day leaving the council with no representation or apologies at the meeting. The planning application that the parish were opposing at St Petry was subsequently approved by the planning committee.

 
10/22/11 Chairmans Report

At present we are waiting for replies to where we are with the highways project for Goldsithney and Perranuthnoe. An email was sent today asking for an update but this time we are still waiting for a response.

The footpath between Goldsithney and Marazion.

Planning applications continue to take up much of Parish time. There are a number of five-day letters being received from planning officers that have to be dealt with and require responses from Cllrs as soon as they receive them.

Likewise for applications that go to Planning Committees where attendance and statements need to be done for each one.

Enforcement action is slow due to the numbers of cases involved not only in our parish but in West Cornwall generally but remain on the Parish radar.

 

It is good to see that action is being taken by the police and DVLA on vehicles that are being used illegally on the roads under the No Excuse exercise.

We are waiting for the external examiner report on the NDP so at this time there are no updates on it.

 

Myself, the Vice chairman and clerk are attending a meeting on Thursday 20th October which has been called to look at the latest draft proposals on the Community Network changes. This is because the views of the Network have to be in by the 18th Nov which is the day after the next scheduled Network meeting and there would not be time to go through the detail at that one.

Following a meeting with the St Pirans Hall Committee on the 13th October at which the Chair & Vice Chair of the parish council were present they proposed that the quotes are put in to the Parish Council name and that the parish council would pay for the car park marking and hand rail improvements.

It was proposed, seconded and unanimously agreed that the orders be placed and paid for in the name of the Parish Council. Clerk to proceed with orders on behalf of the Parish Council.
