MINUTES OF THE ST NEOT PARISH COUNCIL MEETING HELD USING ZOOM ON WEDNESDAY, 10TH and 17TH FEBRUARY 2021 AT 7:30PM Present: Councillors Dr L Jones (Chair), C Smith, R Berrett, G Rogers, D Lucas, P Crichton, H Bunt, A Bellringer, O Burrows, N O’Neill and T Hooper. Angela Warwick, Nicholas Powell, Clare Reed, Thomas Thrussells, Jenny Hart, Martin Dance, Graham Pickering, Paul Yearley and Chris Woolf Cornwall Councillor M Eddy Sue Blaxley (Parish Clerk) The Chair opened the meeting at 7:30pm. Public Participation Chris Woolf explained that vehicles often get stuck on the road from Ashford Mill to West Killatown. He said that the road is rough but navigable at the beginning but becomes slippery in the wooded section when the leaves fall on the road and further along the slope becomes a 1 in 5 gradient and the road narrows to such an extent that branches touch either side of a vehicle. He said that, at this point, vehicles are unable to reverse and become stuck. He explained that it would be a good idea to erect a sign at the beginning of the road explaining that it is unsuitable for light or heavy goods vehicles. Chris Wolf said that he was prepared to pay for the sign. Councillors asked if the neighbours have been consulted. Chris Woolf said he had not consulted the neighbours but was happy to do so. The Chair asked if Chris Woolf was confident that the alternative route via Polventon was more easily navigable. He said that it is. Councilllor G Rogers asked who the land belongs to on which it is proposed to erect the sign.

Application on Behalf of Cornwall Council and Caradon Observatory for Bodmin Moor to Be Considered As an International Dark Sky Landscape
1 Executive Summary Bodmin Moor is a special place. Amongst the many environmental designations ranging from the international to the local, Bodmin Moor forms part of an Area of Outstanding Beauty. This means it benefits from the same planning status and protection as English National Parks. Visitors are already drawn to the dramatic panoramas, varied wildlife and intriguing history, with those already in the know also appreciating and learning about the stars in the exceptionally dark night sky. Caradon Observatory readings taken in and around Bodmin Moor quantify the remarkable quality of the sky’s darkness and correspond with the findings of the Campaign to Protect Rural England Night Blight study. The results show that even around the villages there are impressive views of the night sky. There is considerable support from the public and stakeholder organisations for the establishment of Bodmin Moor as an International Dark Sky Landscape with “Park” status. Feedback from residents, businesses, landowners, farmers, astronomers, educators, environmental bodies and other statutory and charitable organisations has helped shape the proposals. Enthusiasm is such that there have already been calls to widen the buffer zone if the designation is successful. The alternative title for the designation stems from local feedback and reflects the AONB status. Bodmin Moor comprises a varied moorland landscape with a few small villages and hamlets so there is very little artificial light. Nevertheless, steps have been taken and are continuing to be made to reduce light pollution, particularly from streets. This means that the vast majority of lighting is sensitive to the dark night sky and is becoming even more sympathetic.
