With the help of a Steering Group of local residents, this Plan has been drawn up with the intention of reflecting and sustaining the sense of community and heritage that is so important to all who live in the town. We see this Plan not simply as a practical administrative device to guide planning decisions. We have endeavoured to engage with you and to consult you over what you wish to see in the town and we hope it gives a vision of the town and its future that all who live in it will embrace. The Plan will be put to you in a local Referendum, which will be your chance to endorse the future that the Council is committed to realising.

  • Download SMART Newsletter Issue 2 – 2017/18
    Thank you to all staff for our extremely successful first full year of operation as South East Cornwall Multi Academy Regional Trust. With literally hundreds of success stories from across our six schools having appeared in newsletters, websites, tweets and posts throughout the year it is hard to single out any for particular mention. With this in mind, I have asked our six headteachers for particular examples which illustrate the collaboration between schools which has been at the heart of SMART all year and promises to be our major strength in the future. Here are some of our highlights. SMART combined events Student Council suggestion takes us to the Houses of Parliament One of the children from Trewidland in the MAT Student Council suggested that now we are a MAT we could go on trips together. Two months later Children from SMART’s three primary schools visited London for an action packed trip, that saw them visit museums, the theatre, the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament and much more. They were welcomed to the Houses of Parliament by Sheryll Murray, MP for South East Cornwall. Showing London has appeal across all of the schools and year groups Psychology A level groups in Saltash and Liskeard also teamed up for a trip to London, visiting those places I’m pleased that primary schools missed out on, including the Freud Museum and the ‘Jack the Ripper Tour’ Liskeard School & Community College and Dobwalls Community Primary School combine forces for knitting clubs Knitting clubs at both Liskeard School and Dobwalls Primary have joined forces to develop links with the community and take part in the annual yarn bombing of Liskeard and the surrounding area.

  • 1 the NAVY in the ENGLISH CIVIL WAR Submitted by Michael James
    1 THE NAVY IN THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR Submitted by Michael James Lea-O’Mahoney, to the University of Exeter, as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in September 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned chiefly with the military role of sea power during the English Civil War. Parliament’s seizure of the Royal Navy in 1642 is examined in detail, with a discussion of the factors which led to the King’s loss of the fleet and the consequences thereafter. It is concluded that Charles I was outmanoeuvred politically, whilst Parliament’s choice to command the fleet, the Earl of Warwick, far surpassed him in popularity with the common seamen. The thesis then considers the advantages which control of the Navy provided for Parliament throughout the war, determining that the fleet’s protection of London, its ability to supply besieged outposts and its logistical support to Parliamentarian land forces was instrumental in preventing a Royalist victory. Furthermore, it is concluded that Warwick’s astute leadership went some way towards offsetting Parliament’s sporadic neglect of the Navy. The thesis demonstrates, however, that Parliament failed to establish the unchallenged command of the seas around the British Isles.
