  • Just a Balloon Report Jan 2017
    Just a Balloon BALLOON DEBRIS ON CORNISH BEACHES Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition | January 2017 BACKGROUND This report has been compiled by the Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition (CPPC), a sub-group of the Your Shore Network (set up and supported by Cornwall Wildlife Trust). The aim of the evidence presented here is to assist Cornwall Council’s Environment Service with the pursuit of a Public Spaces Protection Order preventing Balloon and Chinese Lantern releases in the Duchy. METHODOLOGY During the time period July to December 2016, evidence relating to balloon debris found on Cornish beaches was collected by the CPPC. This evidence came directly to the CPPC from members (voluntary groups and individuals) who took part in beach-cleans or litter-picks, and was accepted in a variety of formats:- − Physical balloon debris (latex, mylar, cords & strings, plastic ends/sticks) − Photographs − Numerical data − E mails − Phone calls/text messages − Social media posts & direct messages Each piece of separate balloon debris was logged, but no ‘double-counting’ took place i.e. if a balloon was found still attached to its cord, or plastic end, it was recorded as a single piece of debris. PAGE 1 RESULTS During the six month reporting period balloon debris was found and recorded during beach cleans at 39 locations across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly shown here:- Cornwall has an extensive network of volunteer beach cleaners and beach cleaning groups. Many of these are active on a weekly or even daily basis, and so some of the locations were cleaned on more than one occasion during the period, whilst others only once.

Penzance, West Cornwall FREEHOLD At the head of the Cot Valley, a short walk to the cove and coast path, an extremely attractive double fronted detached, 4 bedroomed, former farmhouse, sympathetically restored in recent years, standing in extensive grounds of about ½ an acre including garaging and several granite barns. A very private home between the long sandy beach at Sennen and the magnificent Cape Cornwall headland, just a short drive from the facilities at St Just and Penzance. 2 Ref: LCAA7254 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: entrance hall, sitting room, lounge, dining room, kitchen. First Floor: galleried landing, 4 bedrooms, large bathroom. Outside: gated driveway parking and double garage. Various granite barns with potential. Beautiful long established garden with orchard, vegetable garden and various terraces. In all, about ½ an acre. DESCRIPTION Kelynack Manor Farmhouse is perfectly located at the head of the Cot Valley which descends down to a picturesque boulder strewn cove and the South West Coast Path, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The house enjoys great privacy within its extensive gardens which are dotted with historic outbuildings.

The house itself is extremely attractive with the south west facing principal façade being of granite double fronted appearance. It is made all the more beautiful as the roof was replaced about 14 years ago, the walls were repointed and bespoke double glazed sash windows were fitted throughout that perfectly match the character of the building.
