    Message from the Mayor Hello All This Is My First Town Message and I Hope It Keeps You up to Date with Town News and Events

    Edition 28 : July 2012 Message from the Mayor Hello All This is my first Town Message and I hope it keeps you up to date with Town news and events. Good Times It was marvellous to see virtually all our Town out to say farewell to the Olympic Torch after a fabulous day of sporting and music activities. This was followed, 2 weeks later, by the Queens Jubilee celebrations with 15 street parties (some overcoming torrential rain), Beating the Bounds, a picnic in the park and 2 tree planting ceremonies. The Mayfair in its new location was hailed as a success and the Regatta too was a resounding success, despite the weather. A new theatrical and music group Page2Stage started in late June. Chris, Andy, Paul and Niall from the Cecil Arms who while breaking a Guinness record for playing darts for over 41 hours raised a staggering £3000 for Parkinson‟s Disease UK. Two new shops opened – More than Art and the Original Factory Shop. Our shopping centre is thriving and has only 4 empty shops which is a very different case to many other towns in Cornwall. Not so good We live in an area with an extremely low crime rate, so it is sad to note that in June we have some less sociable members of our town who feel emptying and stealing grit bins is enjoyable. What it means for us is we have to pay more taxes to put things back to ensure we are ready for winter. Getting better Our Town Council has regained its Quality Status.

Findings in the UK South West Marine Management Organisation (MMO) Plan Area show that different MPAs yield high value estimates and that activities are grouped in certain areas, with the Severn Estuary and surrounding Site(s) of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) attracting the most recreational anglers, despite having lower water quality. This can be explained by increased nutrient levels, which enhance biological activity and yet do not cause oxygen depletion. The yearly value of the ecosystem service of carbon sequestration and storage in the area is estimated between £16 and £62 thousand. Proximity to large urban areas and shallow waters appear to be the most appealing factors for anglers, while proximity with France can be associated with the high fishing effort in the southwest of the study area. We show that the use of a tool integrating a willingness-to-pay function with high spatial resolution layers and associated monetary values can be used for short-term marine spatial planning and management.

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management

    Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management

    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.
