Presentation: Market & Coastal Towns Initiative
  • Mr Alec Brice along with Mr Tom Jane gave a presentation on the work of the Market & Coastal Town Initiative. Alec is responsible for the St Ives area which includes it's neighbouring Parishes of Zennor and Towednack. An update was given to progress so far and the meeting was informed that there is funding of £44,000 for a work programme over the next 18 months to include a series of community events where the public can put forward their ideas. To allay some peoples fears that 'nothing ever happens' from such groups some funds have already been allocated for instant fix type schemes. Focus groups are to be formed and the Parish Council will be informed of all relevant dates and meetings.
Matters Arising:
  • A response has been received from Mike Hadfield – County Highways – re the road at Treen. He is well aware of the situation and it will be attended to 'as soon as reasonably practicable'.
  • Mike Hindley has had a response re the mast from MMO2 and he attended the Town & Parish Forum meeting but MM02 will not agree to attend any meeting in Zennor.
Planning:
  • Application 05/P/0080/FE – The Barn, Treen. Extension of time limit. Councillors raised no objections. Mike Hindley to await any comments from Parishioners as only recently advertised.
  • Applications previously considered for works at Carnelloe and The White House have been approved by PDC.
Finance:
  • The accounts for 2003/2004 need to be checked by an internal auditor – who should be an independent and competent person - prior to return to The Audit Commission. Mike Hindley will ask A Hollow if she can check them and then forward to the Audit Commission by 21st February.
  • The Precept for 2005/2006 has been agreed.
  • An invoice for £122.79 for the new minute book was agreed.
Transport:
  • The funding meeting re the grant is due to take place this week.
  • Jenni asked for any comments re the bus timetable for this summer as they need to be in by the end of the month.
  • Maggie Whitehead to write to CCC expressing Parish's approval of the current service.
  • Jenni Pozzi is endeavouring to promote the bus route as a scenic route for this summer, hopefully with a 'famous person' to endorse it.
Correspondence:
Various items of correspondence were considered including:
  • Cornish Building Groups Award Scheme
  • Proposals from PDC to change the Affordable Housing eligibility criteria re the length of time a person haslived in an area.
  • Minutes and Agenda from PAROW
  • Andrew George re Boundary changes, OFCOM and Parish Survey – Maggie Whitehead will respond.
  • Accounts & Budget Proposals from Penwith District Council will be read by John Lindfield
Meetings:
  • Next meeting of Zennor Parish Council– 8TH march 2005
Any Other Business:
  • Some concerns were raised re work on the building at Old Boswednack, which appears to differ from the original building. Maggie Whitehead to bring original plans to the next meeting.
  • Maggie Whitehead to contact Brian Hosken re the reopening of the public toilets.
  • Jen Gourley asked the meeting what they would like to see on the Zennor.org website. Councillors will consider for the next meeting.
  • Some glass has been seen dumped in the lay-by on the St Ives side of Eagles Nest. Mike Hindley will check this out.
