Lewannick Parish Council Lewannick Parish Council met on Wednesday 19 October at Polyphant Village

Hall.

We were pleased to welcome Chris Simms our Community Link Officer,

Cornwall Council, to explain the process of producing a Neighbourhood Plan.

Members of the public were encouraged to attend and we were pleased that

residents joined us.

Following the overview it was agreed that the whole of our parish boundary

would be included within the neighbourhood plan.

The plan would be driven by the parish council but it is important that the

residents within the parish are involved from inception.

If you would be interested in taking part please contact the Clerk -

elainepolyhant@gmail.com

We would form a steering committee if there is sufficient interest and would

like to see residents from all sectors of our community taking part.

Following the Neighbourhood Planning introduction there was an

opportunity for light refreshments and discussion prior to our ordinary

meeting which commenced at 20.30.

Boundary Commission Review - Initial proposals for the South West region

The Boundary Commission for England has published its initial proposals for

the South West region.

There's an opportunity to give your views via the consultation website and to

attend the public hearings and speak (but you will need to book a place). Two

days of public hearings are scheduled at the Council Chamber, New County

Hall, Truro on Thursday 10th November (10am-8pm) and Friday 11th

November (9am-5pm) . Please note that the Boundary Commission is asking

for views to be submitted on its proposals by no later than the 5th December

2016.

The reason for the review is for the Commission to deliver electoral equality

for voters across Cornwall.

New division boundaries and council size are scheduled to be implemented

at the local elections in 2021.
