Does Anybody Know

I am very curious about the church in Perranuthnoe and can't find exactly who to ask so here I am.  When I visited the church, I noticed the small door cut into the main entry door.  I remember someone saying or maybe reading that the door was for farmers to bring their dogs in, sheep dogs?, and would tie them up during services. 
I'd love to know:
1.  If that is true
2.  When that door dates from.  When was that little inset door installed?

I thank you so much for reading through this and for any help or direction you might be able to give me.

Closure Of Public Toilets

On Saturday 9th November local people gathered in Perranuthnoe car park to show Cornwall Council how strongly they feel about the closure of the public toilets during weekdays for the winter months. The Perranuthnoe Peeathon event was created on Facebook with around 70 people, several dogs and a horse turning up.

 

 

Local people and businesses are feeling let down by Cornwall Council. Comments such as 'we are the ones paying the most council tax yet we are not allowed use of the toilets in winter!' and 'they (Cornwall council) are urging small businesses to stay open all year round yet they themselves are closing the amenities, what sort of message are they trying to send out?'
What's the Cornish motto, ah yes Onan hag Oll - One and all. Cornwall Council showing true Cornish spirit (not).

There is also a petition which already has almost 1000 signatures.
If you would like to see our toilets remain open please sign the petition which can be found in;
The Cabin, Village Crafts, The Peppercorn, The Victoria Inn, The Cowhouse Gallery and 'Kernewek KY Professional Dog Grooming' located in Lynfield Craft Centre.

If you would like copies of the petition to gather your own signatures and help the cause please click here.

You have until Sunday 17th November to sign the petition.

You can also complain yourself via email envmanagement@cornwall.gov.uk

Your comments are more than welcome.

Closure Of Public Toilets and The Peeathon Update

Bryan Griffin has been awarded a new lease for the car park starting from April 2014 at which point he will have total responsibility for the public toilets. It is his intention to keep them open throughout the year with help promised by village businesses to keep them clean.

Unfortunately he has no control over them this winter so The Great Perranuthnoe Peeathon will be going ahead.

The intention of the Peeathon is to gain some sort of control over the toilets for this winter so that they may be kept open for everybody's convenience.

The hope is for as many people as possible to assemble in the car park tomorrow morning at 11am to show the Council there is support for keeping them open. The Cornishman will be invited. A full bladder is NOT required :-)

Update On White Waxy Substance Found On Beach

Cornwall Council have issued an update to the substance found on beaches in our area. It appears to be cooking oil which has turned rancid.

Cornwall Council has advised that while the degraded oil is not harmful to human health, it could still be dangerous for dogs if they eat a large amount of the substance.

Parking In Perran - Idea

The Parish Councillor who has taken interest in our difficulties has given me a street map of Perranuthnoe and asked me to mark on it where I think double yellows, single yellows, residents parking bays -or no changes should go. Chris ball and Jack Trewhella who both attended the last Parrish council meeting also have been sent a map each to do likewise.

However, I think that 3 people deciding for the whole village will leave us open at CC level to them saying that 3 views are not representative and therefore give them an excuse to do nothing.

If I photocopied the map for everyone to have I suspect that there will be as many views as there are copies and therefore again CC will say we cannot make our minds up and still do nothing.

So how about this idea for a compromise - text me 07980 313739 or email me kwall@btconnect.com with what you think should happen in your road where you live (ie - yellow x2 yellows x1, res parking or no change) . Also tell me what should happen to the roads where there are no houses ( ie Perran Hill out of the village).

If you are happy for me to do this then I will transcribe your views onto the one map and enclose it with a list of names of the people who have contributed. I will mark the map democratically and have no axe to grind as the only bit of road that affects me is coming down Perran Hill and wanting to do a right turn towards the church.

I will give what responses I have to the Parrish Council at their next meeting which is on Thur 3rd Oct

If anyone has a better idea then I will go along with that

Thanks for your time Karen Wall

How Do You Feel About The Parking Problem In Perranuthnoe?

Dear Perranuthnoe

 

There was a meeting of the Parrish Council last evening and one of the topics up for discussion was the parking situation in Perranuthnoe. As everyone knows, this summer the parking has varied from the diabolical to down right dangerous.

 

The Parrish Councils take on it all is that Perranuthnoe was offered yellow lines before but none of the villagers could agree so nothing was done at all.  Their second take on is that it has only been bad this summer because the weather was nice,  (previous years have been fine !) Their other point of view is even if the village was agreed it would join the pile of things  for the CC to do and could take another two years………… unless a case could be made for health and safety – either for traffic, pedestrians or 999 emergency within the village itself. I think the village could make a case on all three counts.

 

So what to do about it? Apparently a petition counts a just one letter, so the Parrish Council advised that as many people as possible write with their concerns to the following people;-

 

Mr Bert Biscoe Cornwall Council( Portfolio holder for highways)

Cornwall Council

County Hall

Treyew Rd

Truro TR1 3AY

 

Arthur Hooper Managing Director Cormac Solutions

c/o Western Region,

Radnor Rd,

Scorrier,

Redruth

TR16 5EH

 

You must include a Health & Safety element and I would suggest that you bullet point the issues.

 

One of the associated issues was the cost of the car park at £3.50 regardless of whether you are there for the day or ½ hour.  This is up for re- tendering this month. As you know CC reduced its cost of the parking in Penzance and Longrock CC car park is only £1 for the day. Does CC have to accept the highest tender? Is it something the village could run themselves on a rota basis? Could there be a sliding scale of prices ie/ £1 for 1-2 hours for example. The person (another letter to write) who is responsible for this is Lizzy Hibbard, Property Manager and the rest of the address is the same as County Hall. Her number is 01872 324876 . The loos in the village will be part of the car park contract otherwise they would have been closed.

 

At the end of the day we will all have a slightly different opinion as to where double yellows, single yellows and residents parking areas go.  If we do nothing - nothing will happen, if we all write -something could happen.  And perhaps we could all agree to the common denominator to try to ease the situation next summer.  That is to say, get the main trouble spots sorted and the others can be reviewed again. If you know a neighbour who would support this but is not connected to a computer could you print this off or jot down the addresses so they can have their say too.

 

Over to you

Best wishes Karen Wall

Signs At The Top Of Boat Cove Lane

Dear Perranuthnoe,

Some of you may have noticed some additional signs at the top of Boat Cove Lane and so I would like to clarify the situation.

Boat Cove Lane has for a very long time been designated a Bridleway with access permitted to only those who own property (fields or homes) or who have business at those properties. All the property owners will have the access written into the deeds.  In January the wooden post with the Bridleway sign fell down and was lying on the tarmac at the bottom of the hedge. A few days later it disappeared altogether. I contacted Cornwall Council to ask for a replacement. They said they would do so in the new financial year. By July of this year (when nothing had happened) I prompted them again. My reason for persisting is three fold; - one Sunday at the beginning of July there were 14 cars parked at the end of the Bridleway that we could not get our car out even if we wanted to, secondly the owner of the dog that killed my goose had parked her car at the end of the lane end let the dogs run free with a disastrous outcome, and thirdly we have to pay for the upkeep of the lane which is being eroded by car users who should not be there.

It would seem that some don’t know (or choose to overlook) what Bridleway means- it is a route for pedestrians or horse riders. Under the Road Traffic Act 1988 Section 34 it stipulates that it is an offence to use “mechanically propelled vehicles”

I asked the Council for additional signage (a red circle with a car and motorbike) to reiterate what a bridleway means. However they said funding was in short supply but if we purchased the regulation signs they would provide the post and the fixing straps for it. This has now been done and the signs are now donated to Cornwall Council as their property. The Parish Council are also aware of the situation. There may be some of you who think the Lane should be a Public Byway. If there a grounds for changing it to thus you need to contact Cornwall Council.

This past week we have been able to get out of our driveway freely and haven’t encountered another vehicle coming down at breakneck speed to get to the beach.  Dog walkers and families will be able to walk down the lane to the beach without having to dive into the hedge as something whizzes past. Hopefully it will be pleasanter for everyone.

Macmillan Event Cancelled

Due to lack of ticket sales the 'really good night in' for Macmillan, on Friday 10th May, has been cancelled

Sorry for any inconvenience

Defibrillator For Perranuthnoe

The Cowhouse Gallery and Peppercorn Kitchen Cafe are hoping to fund a defibrillator for Perranuthnoe.

We feel that Lynfield Yard would be an ideal site for this life saving equipment and we will ensure that there is at least one person trained to use it. If anyone would like to contribute in any way; either by donating or planning a fundraising event - we should be very grateful. Perhaps one or two members of the village feel that they too would be prepared to fund their own training ( about £35)?

We all feel that this would provide a vital piece of equipment for us all - and could save lives.

Please do let us know how you feel about the idea.

Local Lodgins Wanted

Kif and Jean are looking for lodgings for our Canadian nephew, David Douglas, (approx 19) for April/May this year as we have no-where to put him in our tiny shack! He is very keen to come and learn the art of guitar making at the feet of the master. Dates to be confirmed.

We thought that it would be great for him to be with a local family rather than go the more formal B&B route. Contribution to board and lodging, paid by his father, to be discussed.

We would be very grateful for any offers. Please contact us on 01736 710608 or email at kifwood@clara.co.uk

On a separate note, Kif and I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been so thoughtful and kind during my recent illness, and recovery. I will soon be well enough to resume my gradual return to work at the therapy department in Camborne and Redruth Hospital.

Help Required - Do you know any nanny candidates?

Our current nanny leaves us at the end of February and her replacement has just let us down.  Therefore, we need to find a nanny urgently. 

We live in the village and have twins (a boy and a girl) aged 18 months old. We are looking for someone to live out (ideally) but we can have a live-in nanny again. We need someone who is a qualified driver. 

The children do a variety of activities (including swimming and nursery two mornings a week). 

The role is full time (weekdays only). 

If you have any possible candidates, please contact us on 01736 711516

Thank you
Theresa
