54. Correspondence

Penryn Neighbourhood Plan Referendum

The Administration Officer informed the members that correspondence had been received from the Head of Planning and Policy at Cornwall Council in regard to the town council’s Neighbourhood Plan referendum which was scheduled to take place alongside the local elections on the 6 May. However, due to the following reasons the referendum will be deferred until early summer this year.

  • The community governance review means that there will be parish boundary changes, which affect several parishes where a neighbourhood plan referendum must also be held. This may lead to confusion as some residents will receive polling cards for one parish in the local election and another parish neighbourhood plan.
  • This will happen at a time when Cornwall Council offices are not open and it will be harder to respond to queries from the public.
  • There will be multiple ballot papers for voters which will increase the amount of time spent in the polling station, making it harder to maintain Covid secure operations.

Saracen Place, Penryn – Resurfacing Work

The Administration Officer informed the members of the urgent road closure of Saracen Place on Tuesday 16 February due to remedial resurfacing work taking place following a material failure. The closure will be from 7 pm and is expected to last for approximately 4 hours. Traffic Marshalls will be in place to assist residents needing access.
