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.
