Rev Sian Yates led the meeting in a prayer. 68. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE None 69. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST None 70. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION TIME Stefan Piasecki Mr Piasecki spoke in support of agenda item 12(i) South Parade Mews – yellow lines, and provided background information as a local resident of the area. - 60 - Penzance Council, 16 November 2020 Michael Rabbitte Mr Rabbitte put two questions concerning items on the agenda: 1. Whether the £12,000 proposed for upgrading the IT infrastructure at Penlee House was part of the existing budget and why the IT equipment had not been renewed for several years. – Cllr Axford responded that the proposed funds would come from the existing budget and that the move of the Council Offices to the Penlee Centre had highlighted the need for the Penlee House IT infrastructure to be compatible with that of the Penlee Centre. 2. Why were Golowan requesting additional funding when they had just received a £50,000 funding grant? The Mayor responded that the Council had previously resolved to provide funding to assist Golowan Festival CIC with a move to alternative premises and that, since Golowan would be staying in the original building (The Barbican), the organisers had requested use of the pledged funding to help them clear out the building and make it fit for purpose. Rachel Yates, Sustainable Penzance Ms Yates thanked for the Council for funding and support and provided an update on the activities of Sustainable Penzance. Miki Ashton – Gardeners’ House Project Ms Ashton provided an update on the proposed project and informed members that the project had now moved away from the Hypatia Trust and a new organisation had been established (Gardeners’ House Project Charitable Incorporated Organisation - CIO) to take the project forward and source funding. The proposal was for an independent Educational Study Centre in Morrab Gardens. 71. CORNWALL COUNCILLORS’ REPORTS Cllr Jim McKenna (The following written report had been submitted prior to the meeting) Unfortunately, due to a long-standing work commitment this evening, I will be unable to attend tonight’s Town Council meeting. I did however wish to make a small contribution, in my capacity as the Cornwall Councillor for Promenade Division, within which the Club sits, to the discussion regarding the future of Penzance Football Club. Like the Town Council, I would really like to see the Club thrive and be a great asset to the town once again. I am aware that the Town Council has set up a sub-group to look at potential future arrangements and deal with some long-standing issues existing between both parties. In the last couple of weeks, I have had a number of discussions with Club representatives, all of which have been positive; it is clear that with the introduction of - 61 - Penzance Council, 16 November 2020 ‘new blood’ to the Committee, there is a new energy and determination to get things moving again, in a way which benefits both the Club and also the Town Council as landlords. The election of Nick George as Club Chair and Godfrey Adams to the Committee is great news, as both are long-standing and successful local businessmen, with a lengthy history of involvement in sport in Penzance and West Penwith. I have known both of them for many years and am certain that once the future of the lease and arrangements for some remedial work are agreed, things will start moving quickly. I am aware that a number of different suggested resolutions have been put forward prior to this evening’s meeting. Having spoken to both Councillor Cliffe and the Club Chair today, could I suggest (via Councillor Cliffe this evening) the following: • That the Town Council agree the principle of a 15 year lease, with a 2 year break clause encompassing the Club House, Ground and Changing Rooms. • That subject to the above, the detailed arrangements regarding future arrangements be deferred to allow further discussion between both parties, with a view to receiving a joint report to the first available future Town Council meeting. Agreement of the above would allow for detailed discussions between Town Council representatives and those of the Football Club, with slightly less time pressure. Jim McKenna, INDEPENDENT CORNWALL COUNCILLOR, PENZANCE PROMENADE DIVISION Cllr Roger Harding • South West Water would be carrying out significant work to tackle the ongoing problem of sewerage in Mousehole Harbour. • Following the lifting of the first lockdown of the pandemic, the increase in visitors in the summer months had caused considerable traffic congestion in and around Mousehole. Also, the problem of congestion on Chywoone Hill was ongoing. • Paul Parish had now become part of St Buryan Parish and it was not clear which Parish should now have responsibility for St Clement Island (this fell previously to Paul Parish). • Redevelopment of Polvellan House in Mousehole - the building was being restored but concerns still remained over the proposed large extension to the building. Cllr Cornelius Olivier • The committee heading an enquiry into the private rental sector had unanimously agreed the recommendations that would go to Cabinet in February. If approved, the recommendations would be implemented, including a licensing scheme for private rental landlords in Camborne/Redruth, Newquay and Penzance. • Food poverty – Penzance organisations were currently providing food for 1200 – 1500 people. Grants were being provided and Cornwall Council were considering - 62 - Penzance Council, 16 November 2020 implementing the government report to extend free school meals more widely, e.g. to any family receiving universal credits. • Concerns over the £10,000 business grants provided during the first lockdown – these were also received by the owners of holiday let premises, many of whom did not live in the county. • Recent meeting with a youth worker based in Camborne who would like to get a youth project going in Penzance. It was hoped that this would be feasible in the near future. • Mounts Bay Academy / St John’s Hall project – Cllr Olivier hoped the Council would support this project but it was stressed that this needed to be a collaborative project involving other schools and it was hoped that a meeting with Mounts Bay Academy and Humphry Davy School could be organised. • Recycling – Penzance was one of the lowest areas for recycling in Cornwall which was itself one of the lowest areas in the country. 72. TO RESOLVE TO EXCLUDE MEMBERS OF THE PRESS AND PUBLIC To agree any items to be dealt with after the public (including the press) have been excluded as publicity would prejudice the public interest by reason of the confidential nature of the business to be transacted Public Bodies [Admission to Meetings] Act 1960 Due to the confidential nature of agenda item 16 Confidential Reports for Decision, it was unanimously RESOLVED – to exclude the public and press from the meeting when these items were discussed. Proposed: Cllr Dixon; seconded: Cllr White) 73. TO APPROVE WRITTEN REQUESTS FOR DISPENSATION No requests had been submitted. 74. TO CONFIRM THE MINUTES OF THE COUNCIL MEETING OF 1 OCTOBER 2020 The minutes of the meeting having been previously circulated, it was RESOLVED – to approve the minutes of the Council meeting held on 1 October 2020. (Proposed: Cllr Jackson; seconded: Cllr Elliott) For: Cllrs Axford, Baker, Bosworth, Broadhurst, Cliffe, Cordel, Davis, Dixon, Elliott, How, Jackson, Lambourn, Pengelly, Thomas, White, Young Abstained: Cllrs Mann, Waller 75. TO DEAL WITH BUSINESS EXPRESSLY REQUIRED BY STATUTE TO BE DONE There was no business to be transacted. - 63 - Penzance Council, 16 November 2020 76.

    STANDARDS ISSUES ARISEN FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY Cornwall Council A Cornwall councillor who said disabled children “should be put down” has been found guilty of breaching the councillors’ code of conduct – but cannot be suspended. Wadebridge East member Collin Brewer’s comments were described by a panel investigating the claims as “outrageous and grossly offensive”. Cornwall Council said it received 180 complaints about Mr Brewer following the revelation that he said disabled children should be put down as they cost the council too much – and a subsequent interview he gave to the Disability News Service after his re-election on May 2 where he likened disabled children to deformed lambs. On Friday its findings were considered by the council’s standards committee in a behind-closed-doors session. Although Mr Brewer has been found to be in breach of the Code of Conduct, the council does not have the legal power to remove him from his position as a councillor. A council spokesman said: “The authority previously had the ability to suspend councillors following the investigation and determination of Code of Conduct complaints, however, following the Government’s changes to the Code of Conduct complaints process, this sanction is no longer available.” The council said that “given the seriousness of the breach” the council’s monitoring has imposed the highest level of sanctions currently available to the council. These include: • Formally censuring Mr Brewer for the outrageous and grossly insensitive remarks he made in the telephone conversation with John Pring on May 8 and directing him to make a formal apology for the gross offensiveness of his comments and the significant distress they caused.

  • Ambience Transport Interchange
    Due to the curve of the harbour and railway area there is plenty of opportunity for views of the backdrop as described in the Landscape and Setting section, and there are views from the north across the sea of parked cars to ships masts and the bottom of the Barbican area. From the south end the views are more fragmented, with the backs of properties on Market Jew Street, the Wharfside development and railway station all lost in a melee of cars, signs and traffic signals. The view of the Abbey Basin, although compromised by signs, some modern railings, poles and landscaping schemes, is one of the best known in Penzance, immortalised by Stanhope Forbes. Ambience Near to Wharfside and the bus & railway stations road traffic dominates, while at the southern end there is the added factor of this being a working harbour, usually bustling with workmen, cranes, forklift trucks, deliveries and boat movements. While outside the new development at Wharfside pavements are wide, it is often an intimidating environment for pedestrians, who are confined along Wharf Road to a relatively narrow pavement. Even around the Wharfside area where attempts have been made by local businesses to provide pleasant outdoor areas to eat, this is spoilt by constant traffic fumes. On a quiet day, though, there is opportunity to enjoy the historic structures, buildings and boats of the working harbour and the rhythm created by the tide. In the season the inner harbour, always kept with water, is host to visiting tall ships, one of the major attractions of the area.

PH has severe physical and learning disabilities and is without speech. He lacks capacity to decide for himself where to live. Since the age of four he has received accommodation and support at public expense. Until his majority in December 2004, he was living with foster parents in South Gloucestershire. Since then he has lived in two care homes in the Somerset area. There is no dispute about his entitlement to that support, initially under the Children Act 1989, and since his majority under the National Assistance Act 1948. The issue is: which authority should be responsible? 2. This depends, under sections 24(1) and (5) of the 1948 Act, on, where immediately before his placement in Somerset, he was “ordinarily resident”.
