I am please to say that our Neighbourhood Development Plan is moving forward with two new members joining the committee. This committee has not met for a long time. Last year the NDP committee presented our work at public meetings, both in Pensilva and St Ive. At these meetings we asked you to tell us what you thought the important issues were for the future planning of our parish. This guided us as to what questions to ask in the questionnaire that everyone was asked to complete last year. The results of the questionnaire have been analysed and the report is available on the parish website. This now needs to be turned into planning policies in a plan that we can vote on in a referendum. Planning decisions for the parish will then have to be based on what we have democratically decided locally, instead of just being whatever Cornwall Council choose.
Transferring the management of Millennium House from the Parish Council to Pensilva Community Association is taking a lot longer than expected. The trouble with having volunteers running the Parish Council is that we only have our spare time to get work done. This is also a new undertaking that we want and need to get right, but is a steep learning curve. We are however making progress.
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. Phone me, email me on martin.corney@btinternet.com or
"martin corney blog st ive" in search engines will find my blogs for you
to comment on this article and other gems.
