Presentation: St Just Regeneration Project
  • Elaine Drury, who is responsible for interpretation as part of the St Just Regeneration Project, gave a presentation on the possibility of funding for the panel at Zennor Car Park and for production of 'Area Walks' leaflets. ZPC has already put in a bid via the Transport Grant to enhance the panel but the results of this bid are not yet known. The council will await the outcome of this bid and then advise Elaine as it was felt more individuality would be possible with the transport funding. The Walks leaflet would include the Zennor - Wicca - Zennor route and is hoped to encourage walkers and benefit local business. A CCC Ranger has been checking this route. The Parish Council expressed concern that this had been carried out without contact with any councillor. Elaine explained that PAROW had been consulted - she will forward a copy of the Rangers report to the council. J Lindfield asked if this was the only spend allocated to Zennor from the project but Elaine was unable to advise on this.
Matters Arising:
  • The glass at Eagles Nest has been taken to the tip.
  • Jim Mckenna of PDC is pushing for a meeting with MM02. The Police have agreed to attend and MM02 may attend. A date is awaited within the next 4 weeks.
  • Roy Mann reported that CCC have asked that the system not be switched on in Cornwall until it has been proved to be safe and also to remind contractors to adhere to planning law.
  • With regards to the replacement building at Old Boswednack Pip McFarlane has been in touch with M Hindley - Mike will visit the site and report back at the next meeting.
  • With regards to the Audit - Mike Hindley still has the paperwork and will get it approved and forwarded to the Audit Commission.
Planning:
  • A Guide to the Planning System from PDC was passed around. Maggie Whitehead to request that A England do a Planning Presentation at the next meeting for the council and members of the public.
Finance:
  • The balance at the bank currently stands at £2486.08
  • An invoice for £5.46 for printing was approved.
  • Invoices for Registration and Renewal of the Zennor.Org Domain totalling £89.92 were approved.
Parish Paths
  • The latest PAROW minutes and Agenda have been received. Jon Swannel will attend the next meeting and report back to the council.
  • There are no further invoices for forwarding to the LMP.
  • Further to the SJRP Presentation it was confirmed that the CCC ranger is Toby Lowe and recommendations are that paths are signed where they split. Maggie Whitehead to contact Elaine Drury if the report not received prior to the next meeting. Jon Swannell expressed concerns about publicising the paths further as increased use will increase the erosion particularly along the cliffs.
Transport:
  • Jenni Pozzi agreed to remain as the Rural Transport Partnership Representative - Maggie Whitehead to return the relevant Form.
  • Jenni had received no comments on the bus service so has written to confirm that we are pleased with the current service and also noting the lack of information at Bus Stops.
