APPENDIX 1. Community Governance and Boundary Review. and Town Council

5. Details of Proposal. Dobwalls (and Trewidland) Parish Council was approached by Liskeard Town Council stating that it would like to move the part of the boundary that abuts Dobwalls to include the whole of the Moorswater Industrial Estate. The Parish Council has worked with Liskeard Town Council towards achieving this aim. This move makes sound sense because the new boundary will capture all of the Industrial Estate and its units and will make planning issues and decisions, for example, much clearer in the future. Dobwalls has no connection to the Industrial Estate save that some of its residents work there and it is sensible and reasonable for the Town Council to have control of it within its boundary. However, Liskeard Town Council approached the residents that occupy 8 properties near to the Industrial Estate, an area known as Mills, but the Parish Council had made it clear from the outset that it did not favour any residential properties being included in the boundary change and would only like the industrial units to be included. The Community Governance for Looe Mills is well served by Parish Council in its current form and is effective and convenient for the residents, having a strong identity with the urban/rural parish. 6. Evidence in support of submission. The residents of Looe Mills, petitioned by the Liskeard Town Council, made it clear to the Parish Council at its last meeting that they do not want a change to the present boundary and wish to remain part of Dobwalls and Trewidland Parish Council. This meeting was also attended by the Liskeard Town Clerk and assurances were given that the Town Council would amend its draft map of the proposed boundary to only include the industrial units (three in number) and one residential property, known as Lime Kiln House, the residents of which operate a business on the Industrial Estate and had no reservations about the boundary being moved to include their home.

A map in support of this boundary change is attached, Appendix 1a. Changes to include the area shaded/hatched in blue.

The above proposed changes will not have an effect on the Parish name or the number of Councillors.

Linda Coles, Clerk to Dobwalls and Trewidland Parish Council
