Should open fires be banned on Falmouth’s beaches?

A consultation has been launched, and we're asking people to share your views on a proposed ban at Gyllyngvase, Maenporth, Castle and Swanpool beaches.

Thank you Falmouth Town Council for organizing and paying for the new signs that show the location of the footpath on the Golf club. Thanks also to the land owner.
This path has made such a difference to people in the Goldenbank area but the visitors didn't know it was there and were continuing to use the road to get to the beach.
Hopefully visitors will now know how to get to the beach safely, great work by the grounds team from the town.

Easter fun on the Village green at Goldenbank. Painted egg rolling down the hill, the Mayor and I were given two beautiful painted eggs to roll.
The Mayor was also there to receive the deeds for the green which was purchased by the residents and then gifted to Falmouth Town Council. The council team will look after the green and the two play areas so that it is safe for the whole community.
This was a lovely afternoon and shows what can be done when people come together.
Thank you to the residents association for all their hard work and the invitation. My egg roll was very poor but the egg was intact 😊

What a very busy morning at the Princess Pavilion for Falmouth Town Councils Caring for our Coast morning.
We have Swanpool and Maenporth beaches which are both impacted by our changing weather.
Some in-depth conversations with the officers from the Coastal protection team, the Environment agency and Climate Vision.
It was great to get an early visit from Jayne Kirkham for Truro and Falmouth and Councillor Loic Rich CC portfolio holder for the environment.
Get in touch if you missed this drop in, I'm happy to talk further about how our Coast is changing and what we can do to protect ourselves.

Brilliant news for all the residents of Swansreach and the wider area. Fantastic work from the residents team to get this over the line and so generous of everyone to give their time and money to secure these green areas.
It is very disappointing though that it got to this point, developers need to offer these areas to Cornwall Council as they were supposed to rather than auctioning them off to the highest bidder. Town and parish councils are often keen to take these areas on for residents but that can't happen if the original process isn't followed.

What a fantastic community effort! 👏

Cornwall leading the way with the first electricity produced today

An update on the flooding by St Francis School on Mongleath Road.
The drain has been inspected by the Highways team and unfortunately it is not connected to any onward system. It is currently only a soakaway. Inquiries will be made regarding a proper connection but it is some distance away and with budgets set it may be some time before it can be rectified.
Hopefully the appalling weather will stop soon and it won't be such a problem in the short term.
Long term I will be pushing for the proper connection when funds allow.

This is a catch up to discuss the effects of the storm, what we can learn for the future and how to deal with the continuing impact. I’m inviting councillors too.
Do come along.
