It is NOT good enough to have pedestrians, kids, cyclists, parents with prams, risking their lives to shop around. This is not attractive or helpful for local shops, cafes and industrial facilities. Cornwall Council needs to grow a backbone to apply it's own policies.

Massively disappointed. A one in a decade opportunity missed for Penryn. We could have massively improved road safety and attractivity for shops. This anxiety to keep parking spaces (despite a pking study pointing that there's jo issue!) is dragging us backward. www.facebook.com/share/p/1CRK...

MK calls for a #Cornish Recovery Fund, to fund our services properly & deliver economic investment for all. It's unfair that Kernow is receiving no recovery grant funding at all, especially when we have too many deprived areas, which the recovery grant funding is meant to be for. #Kernow 1/2

Nowodhow splann! The Penryn Town Council decided to look into a community-lead project to weed out and plant instead of spraying glyphosate across the whole town like in past years. This means we will not spray pesticides on residents doorstep and near schools. A big win to achieve a safer Penryn.

This is the logical conclusion of what was always a political scam benefiting wealthy elites from England's Home Counties. This confirms that MK is the right solution for Kernow.

We were sold a Brexit who would supposedly solve all of our issues but only brought the end of funding to Cornish development and made business more difficult for Cornish exporters to the EU, including the fishing industry (!).

From 600 million of support to one of the most deprived nations in Europe to zero funding for economic, social and environmental support. Westminster is sending us a clear message: London and the establishment doesn't care about Kernow.

This will likely be discussed at our next Town council meeting and at a meeting in February with cultural venues in Penryn. In the meantime let me know what you think and what we could do either to make it a successful bid or with this funding!

A very interesting meeting as we have a wealth of cultural institutions, and a big artistic community but we could do so much more to make sure the community, particularly residents of deprived neighbourhoods, benefits more from this.

We appreciate that you have managed to do so in record time given the amount of trees who fell in this exceptional storm. We are now already looking at resilience. That is why myself and a few other councillors will request to review the town emergency plan at the next council meeting.

Many vulnerable households and care homes lost power during the storm & institutions worked with the community to support them. I also would like to extend my deep gratitude to utility workers, Cormac staff, tree surgeons and farmers who all worked v hard to clear the roads in difficult conditions.

After three days without power and one without water, my thoughts are going to the families that are still in the cold. We've seen heartwarming displays of solidarity in #Penryn where people have shared homes, lent supplies and taken care of vulnerable neighbours.
