It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 4.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

  • Eventsmay-Aug2015
    ‘FRIENDS OF THE TOWANS’ Events May -August 2015 Summary of recent activities Hello again, how time flies……yesterday was Helston Flora Day, as well as Election results day, so we now know that spring has definitely sprung and that ‘summer has a-come-o’. I’m sure you’ve all had enough of statistics over the last day or so (I know I have), so I’ll just very briefly linger on the facts and figures of our recent outings and then look ahead to future work and events. In a nutshell, since our outing on March 18th, when Dorothy and I hacked some lumps out of the sea buckthorn on St Ives Bay, each outing has more or less doubled in attendance figures. Ten of us enjoyed a walk in St Gothians and then around Gwithian Green on April 25th. It was a bit cool and cloudy, but we did see signs of spring in the form of a cuckoo, two broods of mallard ducklings, sand martins and a flock of whimbrel (a small migratory curlew), en-route from Africa to the Arctic Circle to breed. Cowslips were abundant on Gwithian Green. We also removed litter, including fairly significant amounts of dog waste from the sites. As we know, this is one of the issues that often spoils a visit to the Towans, so I am grateful for your willingness to help remove at least some of it. One of the other purposes in running these events is to improve people’s knowledge of various parts of the Towans, so it’s good that several of the group ‘discovered’ the gem that is Gwithian Green Nature Reserve on that day.
