David Waddington has been welcomed back onto the Parish Council after many years of absence. His previous experience as a Parish Councillor makes him an invaluable addition to our ranks. We still have vacancies on the Parish Council, so if you think you can contribute your time and enthusiasm, please contact the Parish Clerk, Leesa who is also a new addition to the team.
The Butchers Arms Preservation Society has decided to turn down the new owner's offer of a tenancy
agreement to run the pub, since the terms were not considered to be workable. The pub is still registered as
an Asset of Community Value, and the Butchers Arms Preservation Society would consider purchase if it comes on the market.
The resurfacing of Higher Road Pensilva has reinstated the speed restriction cushions. Many people asked for these traffic calming measures to be left out of the replaced surface, but Cornwall Council told our Cornwall Councillor that it would actually be more expensive to change the paperwork, than to put the bumps back. It does occur to me that this might be a blessing in disguise. Before the bumps were added, the traffic on Higher Road used to rocket through the village, endangering life and limb. There was a clamour to do something about speeding traffic and so the speed cushions were added. Maybe they are a good thing. What do you think?
