Clerks Report

The clerk had: Prepared a “Notice of conclusion of audit” which details the rights of inspection, in line with the statutory requirements. Published the “Notice” along with the certified AGAR (Sections 1, 2 & 3) which must include publication on the Parish Councils website. Kept copies of the AGAR available for purchase by any person on payment of a reasonable sum. Ensure that Sections 1, 2 and 3 of the published AGAR remain available for public access for a period of not less than 5 years from the date of publication.
It was proposed seconded and unanimously agreed that the Parish Council accept the External Report.
Mr Vaughan Glover had informed the clerk that he would be retiring in June 2022. Clerk would make enquiries re a successor.
Quote From SW Play – there were 3 areas in the playground that needed attention a quote from SW Play in Newlyn had been received it seemed rather a lot of money. Councillors asked the clerk to get some alternative quotes to seek a comparison.
Adoption of BT Kiosk in Perranuthnoe the clerk had now signed on behalf of the Parish Council a legal contract with BT adopting the Phone box for community use within the Parish. A discussion took place on possible uses and that the council should ask /approach the Community for ideas.
Chairman’s Report
Following concerns on the accuracy of planning applications and design and access statements I wrote to the planning manager and head of planning copied Cabinet members into it. Re the inaccuracy on the land annotation and also the lack of letters and site notices being sent to neighbours and put up on the sites.
I also suggested that the planning officers allow PC/ TC Cllrs to join the planning training sessions for CC councillors so that everyone understood it.
I had a call from the area manager and the blue and red annotations still apply to planning applications. There is a backlog of planning applications so the notices and letters to neighbours are about 3 weeks behind.
Following issues of planning enforcement highlighted by Derek our MP I contacted him and we are having a drive round to look at these sites in early Nov.
Highways projects the designs should be ready later this year, then out for consultation with proposed works early next year.
The NDP has been reviewed by our outside consultant and is about to be submitted for Reg 16. Interestingly for those who keep saying it is a newly emerging NDP. We have been consulting with the public on this since 2014!
The consultation timeline is being put together as it has to go in with the up-to-date draft.
I would like to give our thanks to Cllr Linton for his valued work on updating our Parish website, it looks so much better.
The bus shelters and notice boards are being looked at, though I found it difficult to get the information from the website of the company?
There are still residents who light bonfires, set off fireworks and generally upset neighbours. It would be really nice if people considered others when doing these things. It doesn’t take much to speak to one another.
Penwith Integrated Care Forum have voiced concerns re the stopping of Ear Wax removal services from GP practices and have asked for them to be reviewed. The waiting times for being seen
Clean bus shelters look really good.
