    European Parliament 2019-2024 Committee on Petitions 24.6.2020 NOTICE TO MEMBERS Subject: Petition No 0598/2019 by D.W. (Irish) on objections to an EU-funded helicopter service in the UK 1. Summary of petition The petitioner objects to the EU RDF support to the resurrection of the helicopter service between Penzance, Cornwall UK, and the Isles of Scilly, Cornwall UK. The petitioner points out that that the previous service had been closed due to lack of economic viability and considers that the new one is unwarranted, as there are already ship and fixed-wing services currently operating. The petitioner is concerned about the health and environmental impact of the new project. 2. Admissibility Declared admissible on 14 November 2019. Information requested from Commission under Rule 227(6). 3.

LOVE ST AGNES Dear friends There is no doubt that 2020 has seen unprecedented & difficult time for all of us. As a community the parish of St Agnes is a vibrant, supportive and friendly place to live and as residents and businesses together we have supported each other during the challenging days. As one of the largest parishes in Cornwall (St Agnes Parish stretches almost up to Perranporth, down past Porthtowan and inland to the A30) we welcome a huge number of visitors & tourists all year round and many have become friends as they return year on year. This summer, as restrictions allow, we look forward to welcoming everyone, but we know that things will need to be a little different. We like the rest of the UK need to ensure that we keep our villages safe and welcoming for both those that live here all year around and for those that call it home for a few days or longer. We hope that a few helpful notes, in advance, of your holiday may help you to enjoy your stay in our beautiful Parish. SOCIAL DISTANCING Shops & Businesses have implemented measures to keep us all safe. Please look out for the instructions and notices as you enter and kindly respect them.

  • United Downs Deep Geothermal Power Project, UK. Project Update
    PROCEEDINGS, 44th Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering Stanford University, Stanford, California, February 11-13, 2019 SGP-TR-214 The United Downs Deep Geothermal Power Project Peter Ledingham, Lucy Cotton and Ryan Law Geothermal Engineering Ltd, Falmouth Business Park, Bickland Water Road, Falmouth, Cornwall TR11 4SZ, UK [email protected] Keywords: United Downs, Cornwall, UK, Deep Geothermal, ABSTRACT The United Downs Deep Geothermal Power project is the first geothermal power project in the United Kingdom. It is located near Redruth in west Cornwall, UK and is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and Cornwall Council. The project consists of two deviated wells; a production well to a target depth of 4,500m and an injection well to a depth of 2,500m. Both wells target a sub-vertical, inactive fault structure that is thought will provide enhanced permeability relative to the surrounding granitic rock, sufficient to support circulation of between 20 and 60l/s. Geothermal gradients in Cornwall are relatively good and the bottom hole temperature is expected to be in the region of 190OC, allowing anticipated production to surface at greater than 175OC, which should allow electricity generation of between 1 and 3WMe. After funding agreements were signed in June 2017, a period of preparation and procurement followed, and drilling began in November 2018. This paper places the project in the context of previous geothermal research carried out in Cornwall, summarises the concept and describes the site selection work carried out. It also outlines the microseismic and noise monitoring programmes implemented to protect the local community and describes the public outreach, education and research initiatives associated with the project.

Northamptonshire-based Sloane Helicopters has nearly 50 years’ experience as one of the most accomplished helicopter companies in Europe, with clients including Air Ambulance charities and the Ministry of Defence. The company was formed in 1969 and remains in the private ownership of founder and Chairman David George, who was educated in Penzance. Sloane will provide the AW139 aircraft for the Penzance to Isles of Scilly route and will employ key staff, including pilots. The company will also provide engineering services, in conjunction with helicopter manufacturer Leonardo – formerly AgustaWestland – for whom Sloane has been the UK and Ireland distributor and service centre for over 22 years. ‘Experience, Family Ethos & Local Knowledge’ Robert Dorrien-Smith, who is leading the project to reinstate the helicopter link from Penzance to the Isles of Scilly, said: “We held discussions with many operators from the inception of this project, but our conversations with Sloane were different. “Their industry experience, relationship with the helicopter manufacturer, family ethos and knowledge of Cornwall shone through from the start, as did their enthusiasm and dedication to this project.
