The Parish Council continue to work to provide improvements to facilities across the Parish. Recently they have installed new goal posts in the Pengelly Meadows Recreation Area and there will soon be a new goal in Devoran Recreation Area, replaced a number of awkward stiles on our footpaths with new kissing gates to make them more accessible, improved signage on the public rights of way, have agreed to continue and fund the helpline service and MyFeock wellbeing website which has been put in place from our HAIRE Wellbeing Project (more about this in the HAIRE update in the April Connect newsletter) provided a Warm Hub for residents over the winter months,  installed new grit and litter bins across the parish as well as co-ordinating the installation of memorial benches. 

 

The Parish Council are mindful that they need to keep enough funds in reserve to cover the large increase they will have this year in energy costs and have tried hard to keep the precept increase to a minimum as they are aware of the cost of living crisis affecting residents.
