Contact details for me. Thursday, 23 July 2015. The Cornwall Devolution Deal and the continuing centralisation to Cornwall Council. What do the current plans entail? To turn first to the Case for Cornwall, as readers are probably aware this is the document put together by Cornwall Council asking the government for more powers. (available here. This is where the term double devolution comes from as the document explains:. Here there is a great deal on principle and mighty fine it is too. There isn't a...

Rob's blog: Devon and Cornwall Police relocate their helicopter to Cornwall
http://robscornishblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/devon-and-police-relocate-their.html
Contact details for me. Wednesday, 14 September 2011. Devon and Cornwall Police relocate their helicopter to Cornwall. Only joking it's nowhere near Cornwall, it's moving further away. Devon and Cornwall Police's EC-145. Map of the force area, not the helicopters location (the airport symbol to the east of Exeter). So I wondered why is the helicopter based in Exeter and funny enough this is answered on the police website:. Weather conditions are better in the Exeter area; it would be more difficult to fl...

Rob's blog: Cornwall and the blight of second homes
http://robscornishblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/cornwall-and-blight-of-second-homes.html
Contact details for me. Monday, 15 August 2011. Cornwall and the blight of second homes. So what can we do about 2nd homes in Cornwall? Abolish second home discounts:. Stop second home owners pretending to run their houses as a business:. Ban new second homes when 5% of that area is already non-residential. This idea comes from Dick Cole, leader of Mebyon Kernow in his own words:. Http:/ mebyonkernow.blogspot.com/2011/07/action-on-second-homes.html. I think this is a good idea, for too long councils in C...

Rob's blog: Devolution for Cornwall a nod in the right direction
http://robscornishblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/devolution-for-cornwall-nod-in-right.html
Contact details for me. Thursday, 16 July 2015. Devolution for Cornwall a nod in the right direction. Today David Cameron will come to Cornwall and outline a devolution deal for Cornwall (Council). As always the devil will be in the detail and we have to be cautious of what is said and what actually comes to pass. It is at least a great deal more than the government's deal which hasn't even had the pretence of public consultation and wasn't even discussed by Cornwall Councillors in public session. Devon ...

Contact details for me. Thursday, 30 April 2015. Statement on the need to pause the privatisation agenda in Cornwall. We the undersigned recognise that:.

Contact details for me. Thursday, 6 August 2015. Penzance 400 over spend report. After much mud slinging, hand wringing, press coverage and the like. The report into the over spend for the Penzance 400 celebrations has been published and placed in the public domain. It is clear cancelling the event at such short notice was not a practicable option available to the Council or the Director of the event, without causing serious damage both to the reputation and financial standing of the Town and the wider a...
