Down in St Ive, the Community Park Project has been making good progress in getting new play equipment. We have been so successful in raising funds from different events, that with the community support money from the solar farm, we have about £8,000. This together with a grant from the parish recreation ground funds and the landfill tax contributions should multiply up to about £80,000 of equipment. We have met with four different play equipment suppliers, and will shortly be comparing their different designs.
Up in Pensilva there is the proposal for a new estate between Amanda Way and the industrial estate. While this location is not totally unacceptable, it goes against the will of the parish, as expressed in the Neighbourhood Plan survey, for small scale infill development. That piece of land also provides a buffer, between the noise of the industrial estate and the peace and quiet required for residential housing. We need to press on with the Neighbourhood Plan so that it can control future development in the parish. If anyone else would like to help with this plan, please contact me as Chair of the working group.
There is another development of a wind turbine, but this one is just over the parish boundary in Quethiock parish. It will however be not that far away from St Ive church, so is attracting attention from concerned residents.

The Latest from Your Parish Councillor - Martin Corney (Parish Pump - March 2015)
I hope word got around about the roadworks on the lower roads in Pensilva. I put that sort of thing on the St Ive Parish Council website and Facebook page, but not everyone is on the internet.
The St Ive Community Park Project is still holding events and raising loads of cash for new playground equipment. We've met with several suppliers who are quoting for the new equipment.
The Parish Council has agreed a budget for the working group to start setting up the new organisations that will be running Millennium House in the future. A charity in charge, and a company to run the bar. By the time you read this we will have selected the initial charity trustees and applied to the charity commission. We intend to reuse the old name of Pensilva Community Association for the charity and Pensilva Community Bar for the company. So that's PC A and PC B.
The youth club has had to be cut back to just the weekly Flipdance sessions organised by Dean, but we hope to expand again in a couple of months.
