Following on from the report in the Cornishman on the 31st January regarding Hayle Town Council’s Precept, the Council has again decided to hold two sessions where members of the public can receive further information relating to the Precept and the proposed increase.

The first of these will take place on Thursday 21st February 2013 from 4pm to 7pm and the second will be held on Thursday 4th April 2013 following the delivery of the demand at the end of March.

Open days were held last year as the Council went about explaining the need to make financial provision for the maintenance of a number of amenity sites in the town owned by the Town Council and which are in the process of being handed back to the Council having been maintained by Cornwall Council under a lease arrangement.

The sites include the Recreation Ground, The King George Memorial Ground, The Plantation, Station Hill Gardens and The Millpond with an estimated annual cost for care and maintenance of £100,000 per annum.

In addition the Town Council has agreed to take over the operation of toilets from Cornwall Council to prevent some closures and which requires an increase of £10,000.

Finally, provision has also been made for the possible acquisition of the Frank Johns Centre for community use requiring an increase of £12,500.

No appointment is required and Councillors and staff will be available to meet with members of the public at the offices at The Community Centre, 58 Queensway, Hayle TR 27 4NX. Telephone no. 01736-755005.

Safer Cornwall Website

The Town Council has agreed to help promote Devon & Cornwall Police’s community safety surveys to help officers to gauge local issues. There is a new internet based survey process set up through the Safer Cornwall website: - http://safercornwall.co.uk/surveys/. The surveys will help Police and other partners understand and address local concerns. It is hoped that local residents will spare a few minutes to complete the survey.

Following discussions with local businesses about the Discover Hayle Map, Hayle Town Council has decided to give the maps to businesses and local organisations for free distribution to their customers as they so wish. However, the Council is offering a sponsorship package for £45.00 inclusive of VAT which includes the following:

• Inclusion in a list of sponsors on the Hayle Town Council notice boards.

Hayle Harbour Traffic Management

Following complaints from harbour users regarding unregulated parking on East Quay, which is restricting access to vessels and that of delivery vehicles, the Harbour Authority has taken the decision to bring in

a local parking enforcement company Llawnroc to manage the problem.

Local businesses situated on the quay and harbour users will be issued with parking and visitor permits

by the Harbour Authority;  any vehicle not displaying a permit will be issued with a parking notice.

Well Done Hayle

Here we see Councillor Nick Farrar putting up the final flag on the Memorial Walk after installing flags and bunting along the entire length together with Cllr. Dick Horwell.

I hope his MBE is in the mail!

The Blooming Hayle Celebration was a huge success with thousands of people thronging the Memorial Walk to enjoy the parades, marching band, choirs and dancers.

Stall holders reported brisk business - many of them raising money for charity.

Congratulations to the Hayle in Bloom team particularly Female Citizen of the Year Margaret Tanner, Bob Mims who organised most of the events and Cllr. Anne-Marie Rance who managed the stalls and a lot more. Cllr. Clive Polkinghorne was the chief marshal and Cllr. John Pollard was the excellent Master of Ceremonies.

And the weather was ok without any serious rain all afternoon.

Proper job!

Following a demand from Cornwall Council for very high charges to keep west Cornwall's CCTV operational, most of the towns involved decided to pull out. Thanks to an initiative of Hayle Town Council, the towns were brought together and a new funding model agreed to.

After a period with the CCTV system unmonitored, we are pleased to announce that we are back to operational status. As before, Remploy has the contract to supply the monitoring staff and they are already trained to use the Police radio system.

There is a plan for an Emergency Services Hub in the near future and the CCTV system will be monitored there when it is up and running. In the meantime the cooperation among the towns will enable the CCTV system to continue to protect our citizens.

The towns currently part of the agreement are: Hayle, St. Ives, Camborne, Redruth and Helston. It is hoped that Penzance will join soon.
