Town Clerk's Reports – 25Th June 2019 – Council Meeting
TOWN CLERK’S REPORTS – 25TH JUNE 2019 – COUNCIL MEETING 7. TOWN CLERK’S UPDATE – Items from the 30th April 2019 meeting not already on the agenda. Town Council Reserved Parking Space – The reserved car parking space has formerly been for the use of the Mayor. The present Mayor does not drive. Cornwall Council have indicated that they will not be able to allow the town council to give up the car parking space for a limited time. The car parking space is well located relative to the town council offices and chambers. Under normal circumstances, it would be more cost effective to pay for an annual reserved car space fee than pay car parking charges. The reserved space has been retained. It will be renamed “Reserved Space A”. 8. COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE REVIEW (see attached a.- h.) – a). to report on feedback from the consultation with relevant businesses and residents and the neighbouring parish councils. b). to agree the town councils’ submission to Cornwall Council. 8.1 Background – Following the 16th February 2019 Cornwall Council / Cornwall Association of Local Councils joint Community Governance Review information event, a report was taken to the 26th February 2019 Town Council meeting. It was agreed that the Town Council indicate its intention to submit a Community Governance Review to Cornwall Council and that the Town Council consult with our neighbouring parishes of Dobwalls & Trewidland Parish Council and Menheniot Parish Council. The review was based upon changes to the town boundary to take account of the actual extent of the built development of the town. In addition, the Town Council was mindful that a “futureproofing” of the location of the parish boundary, might need to be reflected as this might not be looked at again for another extended period.
