CCC C/Cllr.
Brown
Budget cuts of £13m need to be made by Cornwall Council. Free swimming for
the over 60s has been scrapped and a concessionary rate is available at
Camelford of £2.30. Schools in West Cornwall will be affected by the cuts
in funding for renewal of secondary schools.
Discussion took place about the salaries of Chief Officers at Cornwall
Council. Cllrs. Dyer and Flower expressed concern about the salaries of
officers bearing in mind the low wages generally throughout the county.
Grass cutting has been carried out at The Butts and it is hoped the service
will be more streamlined next year.
Noisy manholes have been corrected at Rocky Valley/Bossiney Hill.
PCSO Groves asked about replacement of the direction sign at the bottom of
Bowithick Hill.
The Clerk asked about the 40 mph signs through the Allen Valley. The 40s
have been blanked out by Cornwall Council as the speed limit is not in force
when there is no work being carried out. The Clerk and all members present
expressed concern at what had been done to the signs bearing in mind the
limited amount of funds available for replacements.
Cllr. Wickett expressed concern about the poor workmanship on grass cutting
and felt the first cut should be carried out earlier.
Cllr. Dangar expressed concern about the lack of presence of the Civil
Parking Officers. He also mentioned this to PCSO Groves who advised that
unless an obstruction is caused the police cannot take any action.
Cllr. Dyer reported letters missing from the sign at the bottom of
Molesworth Street.
Playing Fields Cllr. Menhenick
attending a recent meeting. It is understood work will be carried out on
the skate park next week.
The Youth goalposts had been broken and removed and the police called.
Camelford Community Network Meeting - 8th June - Cllrs. Heath/Wickett
The Clerk read out the notes of the meeting provided by Cllr. Heath. The
Highways Dept. will be attending the next meeting on the 14th
September and questions need to be sent from the Parish Council to be put to
them before the meeting. Councillors should forward any questions they feel
need to be asked to the Clerk over the next 6 weeks. Cllr. Hodge felt there
may be some points raised in the Parish Plan Highways Section which would be
forwarded. It was also felt that the meetings are not being held often
enough.
Christmas
Lighting Committee Cllr. Smith
Cllr. Smith was not at the meeting. The Clerk had received the Minutes of
the last two meetings. It was felt that she should ask the Lighting
Committee to carefully consider the lighting across Molesworth Street
bearing in mind past problems with connections. The lighting referred to
for the Spar Shop should actually be referred to as Trevena Square and the
lights could be erected on the banner poles as a temporary measure.
Mention had been made at the meeting that there were lights to repair. In
fact all faulty lights had been deemed irrepairable and had been scrapped.

Accounts
2009/2010
The accounts had been signed off by the Auditor.
Trevalga STW
Cllr. Heath had received a call from Mrs. Foley regarding noise and odour
issues. A generator has been running and causing a low drone. Cllr.
Wickett had had a conversation with a representative from Bam; the system
has been operating for 2 weeks and effluent is being discharged at
Bossiney. Emissions are deemed to be almost as good as that from a tertiary
system. Cllr. Wickett had made a site visit following Cllr. Heath’s email
and on that particular occasion no noise could be heard. Cllr. Heath
confirmed that the generator was no longer be used.
Cllr. Brown advised that the system was fully operational from the Tintagel
end. Additional lagging had been carried out. He had visited 3 times and
there was no noise, again one visit was the day after the complaint by Mrs.
Foley and on the other two occasions the wind was blowing in the opposite
direction.
Cllr. Wickett felt that support should continue to be given to Mrs. Foley as
necessary.
Cllr. Heath advised about Trevalga as a whole being up for sale. He felt
this was a sad outcome of the sewage works being sited at Trevalga. Cllr.
Wickett felt the publicity over objections to the siting of the sewage works
had also made Marlborough College aware of just what there was at Trevalga.
Cllr. Wickett felt a speedy decision was needed on the application
regarding Condition 15 of the Planning Approval. Cllr. Brown had spoken
with Ellis Crompton-Brown and no report was forthcoming at the moment.
Trevena Square
The Clerk advised that the additional War Memorial was to be built in the
square over the next two weeks with a dedication ceremony to be held on the
31st July to which all Parish Councillors were invited.
The Clerk had received information from Mr. Hart with regard to architect’s
fees.
Cllr. Heath felt that the wall needed to be knocked down first before any
other plans were made and Cllr. Hodge felt a sketch of ideas was needed.
The Clerk advised that the architect would draw plans and someone different
was needed to create an “artists impression”.
It was agreed that no plans would be requested to be drawn up until the wall
had been knocked down and the entrance made good.
