05 June 2009. The voter turnout in the South Ward was good and I estimate it to be around 36% including postal votes. The turnout at the Bird in Hand at Paradise Park was particulary high with almost half the electorate voting either in person or by post. The count starts today at 2pm and I will publish the results tonight or tomorrow.

20 May 2009. If you are at all interested in sustainable energy (and you should be) read Sustainable Energy - without hot air by David MacKay. You can download it for free here. It provides a readable and well-reasoned account of the issues facing us, and some possible solutions. Highly recommended.

The campaign to get ING to give berth space to HMS Plymouth has achieved over 1,100 signatures on their petition. Read more here.

06 May 2009. Cornwall Council's priorities for Hayle and St. Ives will be set through the Hayle and St. Ives Community Network Area (CNA) panel comprised of the 6 area Cornwall Councillors plus representatives form the five towns and parishes (and some non-voting members). A map of the CNA is shown below. Click the map for a higher-resolution copy.

25 April 2009. Last week the town council reviewed the letters and emails sent to the town clerk regarding possible closure or part closure of the King George V Memorial walk to motor traffic. Roughly two-thirds were in favour of a complete closure (except for access), a couple wanted weekend only, or banning lorries, and 24% were against.

Hayle Harbour Management Ltd. has a covenant giving them rights over the Walk so the council voted, as the next step, to authorise the clerk to seek legal advice as to what options the council has.

24 April 2009. Allotments moved a step closer to reality today when members of the town council's Glebe Committee met to discuss final negotiations with the land owners. The available land will support about 40 allotments varying in size from 110m2 to 170m2 which should satisfy almost all of the applicants on the current waiting list. Based on past experience of the time taken to respond to us by the land owner I fear that we will miss the planting season this year but there is a good chance that gardeners will be able to prepare their allotments before the winter.

Scaffolding started to go up around Loggans Mill on Monday 20th March 20

06. The mill is owned by Penwith District Council and the scaffolding is designed to support the existing structure and will help to preserve what is a landmark listed building at the gateway of Hayle. As a reminder that we need to keep pursuing ways to save the building, the following is a count of the number of days since the scaffolding went up.
