Village walk

At the parish council meeting on 20th June 2013 it was apparent that there are a number of issues that would benefit from being viewed so that a priority list could be developed. The Clerk suggested and the councillors agreed to organise a village / parish walk where they could gather information for this list to inform future debate.

The walk will be on the evening of Wednesday, 3rd July 2013. Are there any particular items you want the parish council to look at? Do you have any suggestions on how items on the list below could be best managed?

There are a number of options open to the council such as; talking informally to landowners, asking Cornwall Council or Councillor for advice or support, informing Highways and other services of outstanding works, organising local volunteers, or budgeting for works. Some issues may, on further investigation, may not be felt to be important, or just need a visual inspection to see if there is anything that needs to be done, but the council hopes to at least discuss them.

The list of items mentioned at recent meetings and an itinerary drawn up by the clerk include:
  • Muddy patches on the Fal Footpath
  • Surface waters near the house Miranda next to entrance to recreation ground, at the bottom of Old Hill, and on Creed Lane
  • Fore street step down for path on to Moor View
  • Mill Lane footpath
  • Flowerbeds on Fore Street
  • Weighbridge (not in our Parish) but certainly part of the village
  • Welcome to Grampound signs both ends of the village
  • Bus shelter, Bermondsey
  • Seat on Fal bridge, outside school, outside Treglines Cottage, and outside Town Hall
  • Overhanging trees near Lobbs garage / road crossing
  • Notice Board outside school which belongs to the Parish Council
  • Granite cross outside Town Hall
  • Town Hall - inside and out
  • Telephone Box
  • Various areas of poor road surface in Creed Lane, Pepo Lane, Mill Lane and Nantellan Road
  • High kerb steps in Bosillion Lane
Please get in touch with the parish council if you have any comments and they can be added to this list for consideration.
