Merry Christmas from St Just Town Council

The Town Council would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Peaceful New Year. The office will be open again on Tuesday 2nd January 2018.

The Mayor’s charity contribution

Cornwall Hospice Care and the Marazion Fundraising Group, have thanked the Mayor of St Just for his contribution of £100 towards the licence, from the recent shoot at Bosvargus Farm, held by Mr Paul and Mr Bernard Grose. The overall total donated was £350. These funds will be used to continue the work at St Julia’s Hospice and care for the patients. The photos show Mayor Brian Clemens presenting the cheque to Fran Phillips just before the Council meeting on 4 December 2017.

 

Neighbourhood Plan Meeting 17th January 2018

Following the Neighbourhood Plan meeting in St Just last month, we appreciate your expression of interest in being involved in taking the Neighbourhood Plan forward, and we are writing now to update you. We are sorry it has taken a few weeks, but we wanted to be able to tell you what is to happen next.

There will be a further public meeting on Wednesday 17th January 2018, in Pendeen Parish Hall commencing at 7pm. Please see the meeting poster. At that meeting, James Hardy (our Community Link Officer) will explain the detail of the four groups:

  • The Steering Group will be responsible for the Project Plan and management
  • The Built Environment and Natural Environment Groups will investigate and gather views on these topics
  • The Community Engagement Group will communicate and keep records of all that happens

Participation in the groups should be seen as a two-year commitment, to see it through.

We hope to have the Chair of another Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group in the west of the county come to give us a brief talk of how they got their neighbourhood plan going.

Then we will divide into four groups, to share thoughts and establish how each group will move forward.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting. We attach a poster if you are able to publicise this as widely as possible. Thank you. Meanwhile, if you have any queries or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us via the Locum Clerk, Mr Cas Leo, phone 788412 or call into the Council Office Monday-Wednesdays, or email townclerk@stjust.org

Best wishes

Councillors on the Team

The Neighbourhood Planning Public Meeting, St Just WI Hall

The Town Council would like to thank all those who attended the public meeting on 8 November 2017 who came to hear more about the planning process. Councillors collected the names of those who wanted to assist along with those who wanted to be kept informed with the plan’s development. The Council is planning the next themed event, and will place posters out and put details on this site once the date is agreed.

The plans’ development is at a very early stage in what could be a two year cycle to eventually get to a final Plan. Notes and presentation from the evening can be found on the links below.

Midsummer Bonfire Celebrations

The annual Old Cornwall Society Midsummer Bonfire celebrations took place last Friday 23 June, and this year the bonfire was lit by the Town Council’s new Mayor Brian Clemens (“Clemo” to all who know him).

Another successful event and the weather remained kind for those who braved the chilly conditions on top of Carn Brea.
