Agenda Item Action

They were agreed as a true record.

3 Devon & Cornwall Police Update

Page 2 of 6

Wadebridge and Padstow Community Network Panel 15.9.16

The statistics are compared with the same three months last year and are similar.

Throughout the summer, the Police have been kept busy with various crimes; but have also assisted with the Royal Visit in Port Isaac.

On the 19 July, there was a collision between a pedestrian and a vehicle in St Minver, if anyone has information please do contact the police by email [email protected] or call 101, quoting reference 81 of 19 July. Rumours and speculation are not helpful and can be damaging to all concerned.

A supply of leaflets about Cold Callers and Domestic Abuse were left and if you want some please contact Helen Couch who has them.

4 Port Isaac Waste Trial Lessons Learnt

SK welcomed Stephanie Crocker, James Ortiz, Donna Latham and Verity Palk from Cornwall Council.

A detailed presentation was given by Stephanie Crocker and James Ortiz to the network which outlined the Port Isaac Waste Trial, issues encountered and lessons learnt. Presentation attached.

Cornwall Council has a statutory duty to collect household waste but do not have a duty to collect commercial waste. We have worked hard with Biffa; as a company already working in the area.

Page 3 of 6

Wadebridge and Padstow Community Network Panel 15.9.16

It was reported that residents are struggling to get hold of the specialised green bags.

Concern was raised over why this meeting was taking place in Wadebridge and not in Port Isaac? The work of the Community Network was explained. It was agreed as this was an important issue Cornwall Council will discuss with St Endellion Parish Council, a suitable time to meet so an update on the trial can be given and listen to any issues raised. Padstow Council have similar issues which they would like to be addressed.

5 Parking – How T&PCs can work with CC

SK welcomed Craig Taylor from Cornwall Council.

A detailed presentation was given – copy attached.

The current officers work within the hours of 8 am and 8 pm. There are currently discussions about providing enforcement outside of these hours.

Statistics about the visits and notices are available upon request from the network members. Please contact Craig Taylor for this information.

A meeting to discuss possible service level agreements is requested for St Minver Highlands and St Endellion Parish Councils.

6 Cornwall Council CEO Q & A Session

SK welcomed Kate Kennally, CEO from Cornwall Council.

It is important to have these kind of discussions and she will be following up the questions that she has heard raised tonight.

It is important to make Cornwall a sustainable place and that everyone thrives. One of the challenges is to get the right balance in providing the service required with the money that we receive. With government funding reducing each year, it is getting more difficult to get the scales to balance.

A resident raised an issue with regard to a slipway that historically had public access but which has recently been AD boarded up by the adjoin business. He advised that the issue had yet to be resolved by Cornwall Council, AD to follow this up urgently.

Page 4 of 6

Wadebridge and Padstow Community Network Panel 15.9.16

Communication was discussed in detail, the turnaround time for all correspondence is 10 working days. KK reiterated that it is important to receive an answer and have confidence that you will be contacted.

Cornwall Council uses borrowing to make long term investments for the future, including housing, infrastructure and taking forward new schemes. We need to ensure that we are prudent in all we do and have external audit checks, who have confirmed we are acting correctly.

Currently we collect £160 million in Business Rates and only retain £80 million. When we no longer get the grants we will have more money however we will get other duties/functions with it some of which are currently being consulted with and that not primarily to do with businesses.

It is important for honest discussions to take place with Town and Parish Councils, voluntary groups and other interested parties to discuss devolution. Some services that are provided are non-statutory and some are statutory. Cornwall Council has to ensure that statutory duties are still completed, but the level may change. It is time for local choices for local communities and understanding what is important and ensuring grown up partnerships. The General Power of Competence needs tweaking so that extra volunteers can be used.

NV suggested that it would be useful to have the email AD address of the planning officer on the planning portal. The proposal would be investigated.

It was felt that the Cornwall Tourism is getting better but Cornwall is looking unloved and concern was raised over the Toilets in the network.

The Cornwall Local Plan is a key tool in going forward.

AP felt that several fundamental changes have been made when town and parish councils have not been informed and important information had been withheld.

Community Governance – is it correct for every area?

A question over transparency was raised. If an officer is requested to explain a decision, this should be done, if this is not done or the answer is unsatisfactory then the matter should be referred to the Head of Service or direct to KK.

Electoral & Governance Review Update

A report called Primed for Success has been released this month which is the Cornwall Council Strategic Governance Review. It was written by the Governance Review External Group (GREG). This report is going to the full council on the 6th October. Is there a case for change, will be discussed.

On the same date, the Electoral Review 2021 Elections will be discussed. This will influence how many councillors will be needed for Cornwall in the future. The first figure will be sent in October, the second figure in December, with the final figure being released in March 2017.

www.cornwall.gov.uk Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) – What does it mean?

• Traffic Management Act introduced 2004 • Enabled the transfer of enforcement powers from the Police to Local Authorities for Parking related offences • Parking contraventions no longer a criminal offence • Dealt with through civil action • Civil Enforcement Officers, instead of Traffic Wardens • CPE introduced in Cornwall in May 2008 • Applied throughout Cornwall following the creation of Cornwall Council from 2009

www.cornwall.gov.uk

The Traffic Management Act 2004

Enforcement Authorities should design their parking policies with particular regard to:

• Managing the expeditious movement of traffic • Improving road safety • Improving the local environment • Improving the quality & accessibility of public transport • Increasing compliance with parking restrictions through clear, well designed parking controls • Meeting the needs of people with disabilities • Managing and reconciling the competing demands for kerbside space

www.cornwall.gov.uk The Traffic Management Act 2004

Enforcement Authorities should not:

• View enforcement as a way of raising revenue.

The enforcement operation should seek to operate on a cost neutral basis.

www.cornwall.gov.uk Increasing enforcement hours through SLA’s

If Town and Parish Councils think more enforcement time is required we can develop an SLA to:

• Increase visits to towns • Increase numbers of streets patrolled • Provide additional enforcement hours

Current Costs: • £35 per hour

www.cornwall.gov.uk SLA – Things to Consider

• Are there parking issues at certain times of day / days of the week? • Are the issues seasonal? • Can the enforcement officers issue penalties for the types of offences happening? • Are there lines and signs in place? • Who will pay for the additional enforcement? • What happens to the revenue received?

Current SLAs with: Rame Cluster of Parishes St. Mawes and Penryn Harbours
