Parish Council Votes Unanimously To Object To The Cabin Proposal
The Parish Council received over 35 letters of objection to the proposal to develop the cabin, as well as a list of well over 60 names registering an objection. It was agreed that the proposal was inappropriate, over development and that it would have a seriously detrimental effect on the community, as well as a negative effect on the environment. I will keep you posted with news of this application as soon as I am aware of any development. Thank you to everyone who gave their opinion. What a great community!

Important Update - Plans For The Cabin
This planning application for the Cabin has now been withdrawn
I have copied Pippa's latest comment in a new post to make sure everyone gets to see it.
All those for and against need to express their views as soon as possible.
Pippa's Comment:
I spoke to Lesley yesterday and today and with her permission I would like to make sure that everyone knows that:
THE EXISTING PLANS WILL NOT BE WITHDRAWN.
Amended plans may be prepared, but at this moment it is not certain when they will be available, or what changes will be made.
Anyone who wishes to express their views should do so based on the plans which I still have available for viewing at Churchtown House.
The parish Council have to make their recommendations before July 1st and will be discussing this issue on 25th June.

Good News For Church Room
Great news - last night the Parish Council kindly approved the £622.23 we requested and this morning Jon Teague from CRCC has approved the Village Hall application. Combined this means we have a commitment of £2k to pay for the construction of a storage shed & path clearance at the rear of the property. This money cannot be spent on anything else.
Please don't buy anything yet until we have all pieces of the funding package in place - the B&Q Manager returns from leave on Monday when Mum is going back for their decision on the furniture.

Church Room Update
Following Februarys Church Room consoltation event all the ideas, problems, solutions and potential activities from members of the community relating to the Church Room have been gathered together.
A project development group consisting of both Church and Community representatives have worked hard over the past 4 months to thrash out which of the ideas from the consultation day are feasible and a consensus has been reached!
There was a high level of support for some sort of shelter at the front of the building so that the outside space can be used without the fear of sun stroke. These items were requested as a high priority by our community and so we would like to address them quickly in a small, affordable project this summer.
The project group went away and did some extensive research into awnings and gazebos but it soon became clear that these would not be suitable for a number of reasons e.g capital cost, repair and maintenance, weather resistance, planning issues. It was felt that a simple set of parasols will suffice but we would need new tables which had a central hole for a parasol and it was also noted that lightweight tables outside would be much easier for the helpers to carry.
Therefore the project group has applied for three grants to help with the cost of the following;
Purchase 6 sets of Acacia hardwood garden furniture. Lightweight. Each set comprising 1 square dining table and 4 dining chairs. Hole in centre of each table for a parasol.
Purchase 6 Sun-shade parasols
Purchase 2 cantilever shelters – one to cover the book stall and one for the cake stall
Dig out and concrete the rear pathway and construct a "Dry Store" (to accommodate the 6 Tables and 24 chairs and parasols) with a pitched roof & lockable entrance.
Gutters near the entrance to rear will be revamped to ensure improved drainage.
Purchase anti-slip trays to reduce the risk of spilling hot drinks and melamine ramekins for very small quantities of cream and jam and a cool bag to keep the food fresh in line with food hygiene recommendations.
[At the February consultation event there were a lot of comments relating to the use of the kitchen – overcrowding, health and safety etc. One sensible suggestion put forward at the consultation event was ‘Teas need a meeting of those involved to organise it a bit more without loosing the lovely atmosphere’. This point was taken on board and a meeting was duly held. Lots of good suggestions about improving ways of working came forward at this well-attended meeting and the non-slip trays, tiny ramekins and cool bag were requested to make the serving safer & hygienic.]
We will have to wait to see if the applications have been successful or not. Hopefully we'll know by the end of next week in each case.
Information will be posted on here as soon as it becomes avaiable.

The event is free of charge / donations for hall hire & the musician's bus fare!
Enjoy.

Village Dog Gets Bitten By Adder
Jake, a retired Greyhound was bitten by an adder while out on a walk with his owner yesterday. They were on the coastal path, Cudden side, when the incident happened.
Jake's owner, Karl said,
"I was walking on the dirt track and Jake was walking right beside me on the grass. He suddenly let out a yelp, I turned to look at him and he was holding his back leg off the ground. First I thought he had trodden on something but it then became obvious it was more than that. He laid on the floor and started kicking his back leg out as if he was trying to get something off. I inspected his foot and leg but could see nothing ."
Karl took Jake to an emergency vet in Truro where he was given a cocktail of drugs which includes Steroids, Antihistamine, Antibiotics and an Opiate based pain killer. He was kept in overnight and this morning has been transferred to a vet in Penzance where he is being kept on a drip to help flush out any toxins left in his body. Although distressed and in some pain Karl said Jake is doing fine and he looks forward to picking him up later today.
The adder is not an aggressive snake, it strikes only in self-defence when it feels threatened. They have a pair of fangs which inject an efficient and fast-acting poison. In an emergency they bite and flee so the victim may never know what bit them.
Adder venom is extremely unpleasant and can be very damaging to the affected area so any suspicion of an adder-bite should lead to medical attention as soon as possible.
For smaller animals like dogs and cats any inexplicable pain or swelling, especially in spring when adders awake from hibernation, should be seen by a vet as soon as possible.
Adders are very sensitive to vibration so the best way to make sure your path is clear is to carry a stick and occasional beat the ground in front of you with it.

Update - Plans For 'The Cabin'
Please see Pippa Young's new comment below this article
Planning Number 09-0573-P (MNR)
Some concern had been expressed with regard to The Cabin and plans that may be in place for it in the future.
In respect of this I contacted Lesley (the owner) and she has replied with the following;
The Cabin is 17 years old now and falling apart. I am planning to have it rebuilt. The new build will consist of a wooden structure, much the same as is already there, with the addition of a disabled toilet and some inside seating. As I am having to rebuild anyway it seems sensible to incorporate the changes that are desperately needed for food preparation, cooking and serving as well as being able to accommodate customers whatever the weather!
Jenny and Lisa have done a wonderful job of running The Cabin for the past two seasons and they will stay for this summer and through to the October half term after which I will be running it myself. This is exciting for me as I have missed it greatly and cannot wait to get back to it.
I hope to start rebuilding in November and be ready to open early in the new year. As soon as I have a planning application number I will make it available for publication on this website so that anyone interested can take a look at the plans.
I have always loved the peaceful, family atmosphere of Perranuthnoe and will make sure The Cabin retains it's friendly, family structure as well as offering an efficient service to local people and visitors alike.

Blooming Good News
Bearing in mind these days of 'shop local', back in January of this year Val and Kevin of Village Crafts, put a request out via this website for ideas on what local people would like them to stock.
After consideration of all requests received they are now pleased to announce that as from Friday 10th April (Good Friday) they will be selling bread.
Kev said, "We will be selling an Organic White Bloomer (400g), an Organic Brown Bloomer(400g) and an Italian Focaccia Loaf (that's a loaf made with Olive Oil and Herbs).
As this is an experiment we will only have small quantities, so it will be first come first served, however we will take orders either by phone on 711808 or by e-mail via our website http://www.perrancrafts.co.uk/
Our initial retail price for all loaves is £1.95 each"
Along with the other items they stock, milk, eggs, stamps, tea, coffee and sugar this is good news for the Village giving us all less reason to take the car out saving on fuel, the environment and supporting local business all at the same time.
