Invitation to members of the public to speak prior
to meeting regarding items on the Agenda (10 minutes allowed for this item)
Mr. David Flower spoke about the problems with
surfacing to Bowithick Hill and shared photos of particularly bad areas of
surfacing which have been in existence for many years. He has been in
contact with Cornwall Council’s Solicitor who has advised him that at the
last inspection on 21.9.09 no actionable defects were noted. The Chairman
advised that the Parish Council have written to Cornwall Council many times
about surfacing/pothole problems in the Parish. It was agreed that the Clerk
should once again write to Cornwall Council regarding this issue.
The proprietor of the new Fresh and Local advised
that his shop will be the site for Post Office services from 19.4.10. He is
awaiting a response as to whether a transport service can be provided to a
neighbouring post office during the period of closure from 1.4.10 - 18.4.10.
The Clerk had received correspondence from the Post Office confirming the
period of closure and also that vehicle licensing would not be able to be
carried out. This was different information to that received by the
proprietor.
A gentleman spoke about the problem of dog fouling
at Trebarwith whereby many holidaying families bring their vehicles down to
the top of the gully to unload, thereby letting their dogs run on down to
the beach with many fouling in the gully. He felt more dog waste bins should
be provided both in Trebarwith and on Glebe Cliff.
Ian Kemp, National Trust attended and agreed that
the National Trust would be happy to provide more bins on Glebe Cliff.
Chris Jarvis spoke on behalf of Forrabury and
Minster Parish Council and as a resident of Trevalga regarding the
application to vary the noise levels on Condition 15 of the planning
approval for the sewage treatment works. South West Water have advised that
the application has arisen from an error made by the Planning Department but
Cornwall Council have advised that no error was made. He had asked many
questions at the recent Liaison Group meeting which had remained unanswered.
The Clerk read out short emails from both Trevalga
and Forrabury & Minster Parish Councils advising that they intended to
object to the revised Condition 15 of the Planning Consent.
Cornwall Council Dog Warden - Mr. R. Downing
attended the meeting at the request of the Parish Council.
Richard advised that during the winter period he
is the only Dog Warden employed by Cornwall Council to cover the whole of
the ex-NCDC area. In the summer a further Warden is employed but the beaches
from which dogs are banned have to be patrolled on a regular basis during
this time. He is also responsible for investigating complaints of barking
and stray dogs, therefore patrols to identify dog fouling problems are
limited. He stressed that anyone who sees an offender must report them to
either his office, the local PCSO or the Parish Clerk. Reports can be given
anonymously in which case only a written warning can be sent or if you wish
to give your name, a Fixed Penalty can be issued even leading to Court.
Cllr. Dangar felt there was a problem with Trevena
Square where people often let their dogs off the lead to run down through
the nature area and foul. If anyone witnesses this they are urged to report
the offenders. The fixed penalty is £80 reduced to £50 if paid within 7
days.
He updated on the new The Fouling of Land by Dogs
(Cornwall) Order 01/201 which basically states that offences can be
committed on "all land which is open to the air and to which the public are
entitled or permitted to have access, with or without pavement, within the
County of Cornwall other than land which is placed at the disposal of the
Forestry Commissioners".
The Chairman opened the meeting at 7.35 p.m.
Minutes of the previous meeting 3rd
February 2010 and Matters Arising
The Clerk advised that a site meeting was to be
held at the proposed site of the development in Molesworth Street on Tuesday
9th March. The Chairman would attend.
The letter from Cornwall Council regarding highway
repairs reported to this meeting was mentioned and as previously agreed the
Clerk would write to Cornwall Council again.
It is was proposed by Cllr. Dorman and seconded by
Cllr. Dyer that the Minutes be signed as a true record of the meeting. All
in favour.
REPORTS
Police
Geoff Squires
attended the meeting and reported one domestic crime in Tintagel within the
past month. A member of the public asked about whether road traffic
accidents are reported to Cornwall Council by the Police and it was
confirmed they were.
CCC C/Cllr. Brown had nothing to report other
than the date of the site meeting next week at Molesworth Street. He also
mentioned the letter later on the Agenda regarding car park charges.
Cllr. Flower asked Cllr. Brown about highway
repairs. Cllr Brown advised that he understood a deeper coating was put on
the recent patching works to Bowithick Hill.
Cllr. Dyer asked Cllr. Brown to defend the
proposed closure of the library at Camelford and urged him to fight to keep
it open.
Trevalga Construction Liaison Group meeting
Clerk/Cllrs. Hodge & Wickett
Copy correspondence from Nicholas Pearson Associates re: Planning
Conditions 2, 5, 13 & 16
Cllr. Hodge updated members on the proposed
changes to the above planning conditions. The Parish Council had not yet
received consultation from Cornwall Council on this issue. Cllr. Dangar felt
the building at Castle Road should be stone faced and asked that this be
raised at the next Liaison Group meeting.
Cornwall Council - Consultation re: Variation of condition 15 (Noise
(Operation))
Cllr. Hodge gave an outline of what these changes
meant. He had asked many questions at a recent meeting with SWW about
attenuation, frequencies and how and where measurements were made none of
which he considered were answered satisfactorily. He proposed that Tintagel
Parish Council object to the application and that South West Water be made
to adhere to the limits previously set under Condition 15. He had asked the
question of SWW at a recent meeting that if the application was turned down
by Cornwall Council could the limits set out in the existing condition be
achieved and neither a yes or no answer was given.
Cllr. Wickett had been unable to attend the last
Liaison Group meeting but was not reassured by South West Water that
incorrect levels were set. These noise levels affected people of the parish,
residents of Trethevy and those living near the pumping stations in Back
Lane and Castle Road. He also felt that the Parish council should object to
this application.
Cllr. Heath had copies of the Cornwall Council
Planning Policy Guidelines 24 containing advice and guidance from the World
Health Organisation of levels of 55 decibels during the day and 35 decibels
at night. He asked Cllr. Brown if he would back parishioners in objecting to
this application but Cllr. Brown advised he had received no information at
present to enable him to decide on this issue nor had he received any phone
calls about this. Cllr. Flower asked for a show of hands and all those
present, both councillors and members of the public objected to the
application. Cllr. Heath stated that as Cllr. Brown had been voted by the
public he should support them. Cllr. Hodge felt that after 16 months of
discussion between Cornwall Council and South West Water on this issue the
information should be readily available to Cllr. Brown. Cllr. Hodge also
felt that Cllr. Brown should not vote on this issue due to personal
circumstances.
The Clerk read out two emails from Trevalga and
Forrabury and Minster Parish Councils advising that they were objecting to
the application.
It was proposed by Cllr. Heath and seconded by
Cllr. Hodge that the Parish Council object to this application. All in
favour.
The Clerk had received a response from South West
Water about the speed of the blue tractor being used to carry out work.
Cllr. Wickett had received complaints about muddy
footpaths in the parish - path at bottom of Back Lane and the path from
Gavercombe Farm across golf links. Clerk to report these issues to Cornwall
Council (Chris Monk).
The Clerk outlined the purpose of the first
meeting attended by the above Councillors. It was agreed that members should
think about the three top Local Operational Issue priorities for their
parish which had been requested at the Network Meeting. Councillors to think
about any issues prior to the next meeting.
Cllr. Dangar felt that the issues raised on the
Draft Local Operational Issues list were mainly Camelford based and the
Clerk stressed that unless the Parish Council raised issues to be considered
for the list they would obviously not form part of it. Issues to be taken to
the next meeting of the Network Group would be discussed at the next
meeting.
Christmas Lighting Committee - Cllr. Smith and
Clerk
The Clerk read out an email received from Mrs.
Goldsmith following the Christmas Lighting Committee meeting. Councillors
were sorry to hear of her feelings and decision to have no further part in
the Committee and it was agreed to write and thank her for all her hard work
over the last 4 years.
The Clerk and Cllr. Smith gave a short report on
the meeting and the formation of an enlarged Committee and it was hoped that
with the help of more Committee members the Christmas and fund raising
events could become even more successful.

We
never thought we would be hunting seals in Tintagel but we are!
The ancient seal of the Borough has
disappeared. This seal was last heard of in the possession of Mrs. Symons of
Bossiney about 100 years ago. The seal was used to impress sealing wax on to
documents and the mark was as shown.The handle
consists of two acorns and oak
leaves.
To see a copy of the actual charter look in 'Royal
Charter'.
Has anyone seen the seal?
The inscription of the
Seal reads 'SIGILLVM MAIORIS ET BVRGIENSIV BVRGI DE TINTAIOEL'.
