After this year’s parish
AGM, I'd like to thank my fellow councillors for showing their confidence in
me, and selecting me to be Vice Chair of the Parish Council for the next year. I'm
also glad that Peter Dipper continues as Chair so that we have continuity of
policies started before I joined last year.
Over the coming year there are two main things I want to do for the parish. The first is to get the parish NDP (Neighbourhood Development Plan) in place (last month's promised piece about this will be in this issue, fingers crossed). The second is getting Millennium House running on a sustainable basis. This will need more people getting involved in turning Millennium House into a thriving community centre.
The youth club, Pensilva Youth Projects, also needs more people to help run events and provide backup staffing, (as I write, tonight's event has had to be cancelled for lack of volunteers). By next winter I'd like the Youth Cafe to run every night to give a warm safe place for our youngsters, but it needs more than just two of us - both busy people.
Now that summer is here, the potholes of winter are filled, but not forgotten by me. There are many photos I've taken of parish potholes and blocked drains on our parish Facebook page (I really must get a life) that I reported to CORMAC. Even our MP's office wanted copies! Seriously, there seems to be a different standard of repair on the A390 (done properly) and all other roads (poorly patched).
Don’t forget the parish website st-ive-parishcouncil.gov.uk
with council meeting agendas and minutes; also downloadable copies of the
Parish Pump. For those of you who do Facebook, our St Ive Parish Council page
is still being updated with parish news.
