  • Executive Summary of Library and One Stop Shop Service Consultation Report Background
    Executive summary of Library and one stop shop service consultation report Background Cornwall Council, like other local authorities, has to find substantial budget savings and further Government funding cuts have resulted in a required saving of £1.8 million from the Libraries and One Stop Shop £4m budget. Cornwall Council consulted, between 1 April and 10 June 2015, with stakeholders and the public on their views for how the future Library and One Stop Shop service could be delivered in the face of budget savings equating to approximately 40% over the next two years. The consultation and engagement programme aimed to provide the opportunity for everyone to comment on options and voice their concerns, views and ideas for future delivery of library and one stop shop services. The consultation responses have informed the recommendation for a preferred option for the running of library and one stop shop services. Two service models were outlined for consultees to consider and everyone was also encouraged to propose other models of service delivery identified within the report as model X. Model A: Transfer or ‘devolve’ the operation of libraries to other interested parties e.g. to a Town/Parish Council or community organisation Model B: Alternative whole service model e.g. transfer the operation of libraries to a trust, commercial organisation, or social enterprise, or through outsourcing A business case form was available on the Councils website and in hard copy for those groups and organisations interested in devolved service delivery models (Model A). A soft market test was undertaken and a notice was published on tendersincornwall.co.uk and Contracts Finder for companies or groups interested in the delivery of a whole service model (Model B).

  • ANNUAL REVIEW 2015/2016 Gwytha Ha Crefhe! 30 Years Preserving and Strengthening Our Cornish Heritage
    ANNUAL REVIEW 2015/2016 Gwytha ha Crefhe! 30 years preserving and strengthening our Cornish heritage In the early 1980’s there was a growing concern that too much of the Cornish heritage was under threat from potential private buyers. Two such sites were Land’s End and Lamorna Cove and there was no organisation in Cornwall with the ability to raise the funds required to save the sites. On the 19th February 1983 a group of people got together with the idea of forming such an organisation with the aim of saving buildings, ancient artifacts and important heritage sites. It was the irst of regular meetings, held at the Royal Hotel in Truro, and the Oficers elected were Acting Chairman The Honourable Robert Eliot, Acting Vice Chairman Mrs June Lander, Secretary Mr John Menhinick, Assistant Secretary Mr Jack Spry and the Treasurer Mr Tim Le Grice. At the meeting it was unanimously agreed that Mr Kenneth Kendall be elected as the irst Patron. Subsequent meetings eventually resulted in the Our Education portfolio includes projects with Primary appointments of The Honourable Robert Eliot as Chairman schools and the funding of transport for class visits to with Mrs Moira Tangye as Vice Chairman, The Hon. Treasurer heritage sites which many schools are taking advantage of Mr Carl Roberts and The Hon. Secretary Mr John Menhinick. due to the dificulty of funding in this area. Mr Jack Spry became the Membership Secretary and a We award bursaries to post graduate students who are solicitor, Mr Robin Bailey, was also appointed.

    Next Meeting: MARCH 3, 2018 First Presbyterian Church, 412 W. Pioneer Avenue, Puyallup, WA 98371 S Spring 2018 Editor: Alene Reaugh The fall meeting was well attended by a more than 20 people including several newly discovered Cornish joining us for the first time. Our Spring Meeting to celebrate St. Piran’s day will be: March 3, 2018. We will put together a nominating committee and discuss the election to be held at our Annual Meeting in July. We will also ask for volunteers to at- tend and represent the Cornish at the Celtic Highland Games held throughout the summer. The games will be in Belfair, Enumclaw, Portland, Salem, Eugene, McMinnville (replacing the Newport Games). Many of us have done this and found it a lot of fun. People stop at the booth with the question, Am I Cornish? And it goes from there. We have met many Cornish and other people who LOVE Cornwall. I have met many people since joining this group. July 2018, we will be celebrating our 20th year as The Pacific Northwest Cornish Socie- ty, a group formed to promote our heritage, history, culture, and genealogy to discover just what it means to be Cornish and who our ancestors were. We are planning a big Anniversary Celebration and hope that we can interest past members and welcome all the newly discovered Cornish. So please put the date JULY 21, 2018 on your cal- endar and join us at Fort Borst Park for a fun party to include balloons and cake, Celtic entertainment, memories, photos of founding members and past events PLUS a lot of good food.

  • Georesources Cornwall Working Paper
    VERSION 15 August 2019 WORKING PAPER Version 10 October 2019 Georesources Cornwall Recommendations for development of the Georesources sector in Cornwall 1 VERSION 15 August 2019 REMIX project The aim of this Georesources Cornwall document is to advise Cornwall Council and Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership on the mining and related opportunities in Cornwall and how best they might be encouraged and facilitated. It is an output of the REMIX project. REMIX was funded by Interreg Europe to encourage resource efficient and environmentally and socially acceptable production of raw materials by working with regional policy instruments. It brought together partners and stakeholders across nine European regions, at different stages of the mining cycle, to share knowledge and develop best practice guidelines. Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter was the partner for the region. In Cornwall we brought together stakeholders, especially Cornwall Council and the companies in the Cornwall Mining Alliance for workshops on specific topics and facilitated travel to European partners to a series of peer review meetings to learn from their activities and experience. A peer review visit of European partners to Cornwall was held in May 2018. Various interviews were also held with individual businesses. Expertise external to the university was used to help compile information, especially on mineral rights, mine water geothermal energy, the Cornwall Mining Alliance business cluster and potential economic development through growth of this sector. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents Summary recommendations 1. Georesources Cornwall: An integrated approach 2. Technology metals and minerals in Cornwall 3. Geothermal energy 4. The mining life cycle 5.

In keeping with Penzance’s wonderful location our theme this year is “Golowan – All at Sea” - a tongue in cheek invitation to celebrate our amazing maritime heritage, and reflect it in a blaze of nautical imagery. However, “All at Sea!” couldn’t be wider of the mark, as the focus of everyone has been to ensure that, while cherishing established traditions, new things are tried, new partnerships secured and Golowan goes from strength to strength. All the elements for a great weekend are here - the mid-summer torchlit procession, serpent dancing and fireworks, the manic Mock Mayor of the Quay ceremony, music and market stalls, parades… and so much more… Golowan’s Quay Fair offers all the fun of the fair on Battery Road from 21st – 25th June and – last, but not least – Golowan 2017 sees the return of the marquee in St Anthony’s Car Park where Big Tow Productions will host a range of events – including the Mock Mayor election.

  • Devon Day and Patron Saints
    Procedures Committee 17 November 2020 Devon Day and Patron Saints Report of the County Solicitor Please note that the following recommendations are subject to consideration and determination by the Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: that the Committee notes the mechanism by which St Boniface is honoured in the national church calendar on 5th June and the Council’s ongoing support for the Boniface Link Association in working towards the adoption of St Boniface as the patron saint of Devon. 1. Summary 1.1 At Procedures Committee on 15 September 2020, Members agreed to consider the matter of Devon Day, how the current date of the 4th June was chosen, the link to St Petroc's Day and also St Boniface and asked that research was undertaken and a Report be brought back to the Committee at a later date. 1.2 This report provides information on the matters highlighted above. 2. Introduction 2.1 A saint is usually defined as a Christian who has shown heroic virtue in some respect. A ‘saint’, is a Christian whom the Church knows and agrees has lived and died faithfully. A ‘canonized’ saint, recognised by the Church, does not differ really from many unknown saints except in recognition and therefore, the feast of All Saints’ Day (November 1st) honours not only the canonized saints, but the countless men and women of faith who died in obscurity. 2.2 The Roman Catholic Church has an elaborate, formal, canonization process for investigating claims of sanctity, yet for the Eastern Orthodox and Anglican Catholic Churches the process of canonization is much less formal.
