ST VEEP & ST WINNOW PARISH COUNCIL’S
PARISH PLAN
PUBLIC CONSULTATION EVENT
THE MEMORIAL HALL, LERRYN
THURSDAY 16TH SEPTEMBER 2010, from 3 - 00 p.m to 9 - 00 p.m
What is a Parish Plan ?
A Parish Plan is a statement of how the community sees itself developing over the coming years. It:
* reflects the views of all sections of the community;
* identifies which features and local characteristics people value;
* identifies local problems and opportunities;
* spells out how residents want the community to develop in the future;
* prepares a plan of action to achieve this vision.
Why produce a Parish Plan ?
It is Government policy to increase individual participation in public life and for public bodies to consult communities about the delivery of services. As part of this policy the government wants to give more power to parish councils to decide what’s best for their communities. It will give the parish council the evidence to help inform policy-making by a range of organisations, from the local planning authority to the police and health service. It will also help them to develop and maintain effective working relations with those outside bodies that provide services to our community.
Who should be involved ?
The parish council takes responsibility for producing and endorsing a Parish Plan, with everyone in the community having the opportunity to contribute their views and their skills, energy and experience to produce the plan.
We would welcome all members of the community to this consultation event and would welcome your views on;
Planning , Housing, Transport & highways , Environment, Energy,
Business, Recreation & Leisure, any other items you feel strongly about.
RWB RNLI Open Golf Competition SuccessAugust 30th 2010 Lostwithiel & District RNLI The RNLI Open Golf Competition organised by the Lostwithiel Branch in association with the Lostwithiel Golf Club, and held on Sunday 29 August, was a great success. Over £1100 profit was made, which will go towards the funding of Fowey Lifeboat. Thanks are due to the members of the RNLI committee and the Golf Club who worked so hard to make it such a memorable day. RWB Last Night of the PROMSAugust 30th 2010 The Bank Holiday weekend is soon coming to an end and, no doubt, you are already making plans for September. If you enjoy good music, good food and good company, why don't you join the LAMA committee in the Lerryn Memorial Hall on 11th September? The Last Night of the PROMS will be shown on the big screen in the Hall and we will be serving a delicious supper : homemade soups, breads and puddings.
Doors will open at 7.15pm. Entrance is free and the buffet tickets cost £6.00. They are on sale in the Lerryn Village Stores and to help with catering, we kindly request that you buy them by 10th September 5.00pm. We will serve tea and coffee but, as we will not have a licensed bar, you will need to bring your own wine and beer.

Llama facts quizAugust 28th 2010 Visitors to the annual Trewether Fete will know that LAMA (Lerryn Area Minibus Association) has a stall and that our main attraction is a llama (sometimes accompanied by her baby) brough by Sue Carter from Lostwithiel. We always appreciate Sue's generous support. Every year, we run a quiz based on llamas and this year was no exception. We had a llama facts quiz with five multiple choice questions and a tie breaker. Mr D Lloyd, who won the quiz, generously donated his £5.00 prize to the Alzheimers' Society. We promised to all those who took part in the quiz that we would publish the answers on the website:
Tie breaker: a llama is pregnant for 350 days
Kill CordAugust 28th 2010 You may well have heard about the accident at Pentewan Sands, near Mevagissey, yesterday. A father and son suffered serious leg and head injuries when they were thrown out of their Dory. Because a kill cord had not been attached correctly, the engine of the boat kept running and the boat continued to circle, running over the two people twice. This shows the importance of using a kill cord with your outboard motor. It should be attached to the engine at one end and to the body of the helmsman at the other. In the case of an unfortunate accident, resulting in the person being thrown overboard, the cord will detach from the motor and the engine will cease to run.
