Last summer the “Under 16 Swim Free” Scheme was trialled within the Penzance Parish. You may have heard about it – your child’s friends may have been spending lots of fun filled days at the Jubilee Pool – for free!

Thanks to funding from St Just Parish Council, this summer Under 16 residents of the St Just Parish are now eligible for a free season main pool swim pass at The Jubilee Pool.

As you are aware the Council Tax Bills are now arriving either by post or email and you will notice that the St
Just Precept has increased by 26%.

To put this into perspective you are looking at a 70p per week rise to a Band D property, an overall rise of
£36.40 per year.

Last year Cornwall Council devolved the toilets to St Just Town Council along with the car parks.

The Town Council had long since agreed to take on these services and with them comes increased costs.

We now have to pay Business rates on both sets of car parks, toilet cleaning contracts, and on-going
maintenance costs, and with these extra services comes a need for more staff.

As a council we have to try and look at the bigger picture as if we did not take the car parks or toilets from
Cornwall Council, the car park would now be a pay and display and the toilets could have been shut.

If you are struggling with bills please contact Cornwall Council: Apply for council tax support – Cornwall Council
