Town Messenger Edition 17: January 2009 Message from the Mayor Dear Residents, It was wonderful to see so many family groups at the Christmas Saturday event. Shutting Fore Street in the afternoon certainly paid off and for five or six hours there was a good crowd of people coming and going. There was also good support for the Torchlight Procession and the carol singing. Flava, the dance group, were great and later, after a gap of 44 years, we had “Beatlemania” again outside My Rooms furniture store where Flava were having a photo shoot. Margaret and I talked to as many families as we could and they all thought the event was worthwhile. Thanks to all who helped, thanks to the Rotary’s Father Christmas and sledge and to the clubs and groups who helped make the day interesting. All finished now! A New Year beckons and we all have challenges to face. Ours on the Town Council is the imminent demise of Caradon District Council, which despite having its faults, had evolved into an efficient local council. “One Cornwall” otherwise known as “Cornwall Council” otherwise known as “The Unitary” is not the same as the County Council which also disappears on April 1st. An assurance for you: your services like housing, environmental, roads etc will carry on as much as normal, certainly for the near future. We are trying to get the best deal for Saltash and District and at the moment we are attempting to secure, against much opposition, a Community Network Area (CNA) based around PL12. A CNA is a sub-division of One Cornwall and this postal code area includes the local parishes and Saltash. The fight is on to prevent us being joined with Torpoint and the Rame Peninsula. We think this would be bad for PL12 because our area is already about 25,000 people and we are physically separated and distant from Torpoint. Also we do not have any significant historical, economic or social links and no public transport links at all. We will keep on fighting! A new “One Stop Shop” will open in the library to help people with queries and help such as you might have got from Caradon District Council. Information and help will continue to be available from the reception at the Guildhall of course so you can still pop in when shopping in Fore Street. Margaret and I wish you all the very best for the coming year. Derek Holley, Town Mayor SATURDAY 21ST FEBRUARY AT THE GUILDHALL – SALTASH SHOWCASE Following the success of the Showcase last year, another opportunity to find out what is going on in Saltash.

A representative from Digital UK will be at the next Town Council meeting on Thursday 19th February at 7.00pm if you have any questions about the switchover. Published by Saltash Town Council Printed by Caradon District Council Results of Police - Public Consultation - PACT process. As part of the desire of the Police to work more with their local communities the PACT process (Partners and Communities Together) has been devised to enable the Police to be more aware and more responsive to the local needs of the communities they serve. Towards the end of 2008 the Police (with the help of the local postmen and women) had delivered over 8000 PACT postcards to the residents of Saltash. These invited people to write down concerns they had which affects their local neighbourhood and impacts on their quality of life, and then return them via the post to Saltash Police. As a result of the many replies received they have been collated by area to identify the main concerns expressed by the respondents. Overall the main areas of concern were about the speed of traffic in specific locations, parking issues were raised along with anti social behaviour and criminal damage as areas of specific concern. The details of the results are shortly to be given to Saltash Town Council, and a consultation process will be undertaken and discussed at the PACT panel meeting in February with the Council and Partner Agencies to specifically identify our priorities. These priorities will then be publicly available on the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary web site via the Neighbourhood Links (Saltash) Thank you to everyone who replied to the cards, the process is still ongoing though so if anyone has any concerns the wish to raise with the local Police there are still PACT postcards available at Saltash police station, it is never too late to bring your concerns to our attention. Sergeant Andy Dunstan Saltash Neighbourhood Team Leader Messenger Walk number 5. (Three and one third miles of very muddy going in places) From Burraton Cross Traffic Lights go along Liskeard Road, past the Ploughboy Inn, Burraton Methodist Chapel and Latchbrook Roundabout: forking left, downhill, (passing the Public Footpath to Burraton Coombe), to the Public Bridleway (a lane) in front of Latchbrook Cottages. Go along the lane, across the Latchbrook, through a Field Gate, then initially keeping to the left edge of the field (here the way can be extremely muddy) continue to an uphill track. (Look out for Blue waymark arrows showing this is a Public Bridleway). Follow the track to another Field Gate. Then keeping to the right edge go around the field to the Lane in the front of (Wadgeworthy) Farmhouse. Continue along the Lane to a Road. Turn right, go uphill along the road to a Public Bridleway (the first lane) on the left. Follow the Signposted and blue arrow waymarked Public Bridleway to Forder. Take care passing Meadow Sweet Quarry. At the road in Forder turn right, then at the road junction at the Old Mill take the Public Footpath (yellow arrows) to the right along a well defined route that goes uphill behind the Castle, over a stile into a field with mill pond, up over the brow of the hill ahead to another stile leading onto the road at Castle Farm. Turn right and go along the road through Trehan past a Public Footpath to the left and straight on through the crossroads at Longlands and past another Public Footpath to the right. Continue on to another Public Footpath on the right, over a stile into a field. Then keeping to the right of the field continue through a gateway into another field to four gates. Go through the first and second gates. Keeping to the right of the fields continue on over stiles to a gate in the corner of a field that leads into a lane. Turn right over a footbridge then left to a stile and follow a sunken lane to another stile into a field and onto another stile. Soon after that stile turn right into a sunken lane going up to a gate into a field: keep to the left of that field to a stile into another field. Go diagonally across that field to a stile in the left hand corner then along the left-hand edge of the next field to another stile. Initially keep to the left of that field then go across the field, going increasingly downhill, to a stile leading to steps at the rear of Latchbrook Cottages. Merry Christmas, Welcome to Saltash! Did you see the new sign at the bottom of Fore Street? The sign was made for the Festive Lights Committee by apprentices from Babcock Marine and will be used as part of the assessment for their National Vocational Qualification (NVQ). The Festive Lights Committee would like to thank Babcock Marine, the apprentices and in particular David Wilde for making the sign. They would also like to thank all who supported the raffle which raised over £600 and the collection at Waitrose which raised over £400. Published by Saltash Town Council Printed by Caradon District Council Royal Albert Bridge - Celebration plans move on apace Since the last edition of the Messenger, Lynn Marsh and her Ashtorre team have been working tirelessly towards the celebrations. Awards for All, funded by the National Lottery have recently joined Saltash Town Council as funders for the whole celebrations. Saltash Town Council unanimously agreed to support this event, seen as one of the most important for our town. The opening of the bridge in 1859 brought prosperity and world renown for Saltash, and still gives Saltash a strong and unique identity today. We hope you will all find something to enjoy and that the town can benefit from increased visitors and publicity. While the list of events still grows there are some really important dates many will not want to miss. The celebrations have already kicked off with A Victorian Christmas celebration with Brunel School. To see the latest list of events then please visit the bridge and event website www.royalalbertbridge.co.uk or call Lynn Marsh on 844255.

  • Message from the Mayor Hello All This Is My First Town Message and I Hope It Keeps You up to Date with Town News and Events
    Edition 28 : July 2012 Message from the Mayor Hello All This is my first Town Message and I hope it keeps you up to date with Town news and events. Good Times It was marvellous to see virtually all our Town out to say farewell to the Olympic Torch after a fabulous day of sporting and music activities. This was followed, 2 weeks later, by the Queens Jubilee celebrations with 15 street parties (some overcoming torrential rain), Beating the Bounds, a picnic in the park and 2 tree planting ceremonies. The Mayfair in its new location was hailed as a success and the Regatta too was a resounding success, despite the weather. A new theatrical and music group Page2Stage started in late June. Chris, Andy, Paul and Niall from the Cecil Arms who while breaking a Guinness record for playing darts for over 41 hours raised a staggering £3000 for Parkinson‟s Disease UK. Two new shops opened – More than Art and the Original Factory Shop. Our shopping centre is thriving and has only 4 empty shops which is a very different case to many other towns in Cornwall. Not so good We live in an area with an extremely low crime rate, so it is sad to note that in June we have some less sociable members of our town who feel emptying and stealing grit bins is enjoyable. What it means for us is we have to pay more taxes to put things back to ensure we are ready for winter. Getting better Our Town Council has regained its Quality Status.

  • Chapter Six Anti-Poverty Strategies
    CHAPTER SIX ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGIES: CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WEST CORNWALL INTRODUCTION The first three chapters of this report looked at poverty and deprivation in rural areas in the United Kingdom, in Cornwall and in West Cornwall. Chapters four and five focused on housing and ill- health and their links with poverty and deprivation in Cornwall and West Cornwall. These earlier chapters looked at how and why, in spite of clear evidence and local knowledge of multiple deprivation among Cornish households, this has not been reflected either in government statistics or in the allocation of Revenue Support Grant and other monies from central government to enable councils to meet local needs. Policies aimed at counteracting the effects of poverty have been part of local government activity for many years. Professor David Donnison cites the first poverty relief - provision of affordable decent rented housing and the first foster care for children - as reminders of the ground-breaking role which local authorities have historically taken in tackling problems of poverty and other 'social ills' (Donnison 1995). In the introduction to her novel about local government in the 1930’s Winifred Holtby identified local government as 'in essence the first line of defence thrown up by the community against our common enemies - poverty, sickness, ignorance, isolation, mental derangement and social maladjustment' (Holtby 1936). While Cornwall has been struggling to reverse longer-term industrial decline, with its attendant 'social ills' - high unemployment, job insecurity, poverty and low wages - this has to a large extent been in isolation with little central government support or recognition.
