Tell us what you think about discounted parking tickets and an overnight motorhome parking trial.
We want your views on proposals to make parking more affordable for those who need to regularly park in a Council car park.
A consultation has been launched on plans which will cut the cost of seasonal parking tickets by 50% for Cornwall residents.
Available for drivers who live in Cornwall for at least six months of the year, the Resident Season Ticket can be bought to cover a six, seven or 12 month time period. Tickets are valid for use in one specified car park and beneficial for people who regularly need to park during the week.
We're also looking to trial overnight motorhome parking at The Crescent car park in Bude. Read more.

Keep an eye out for flyposting
There is no formal definition of flyposting, but it is generally taken to mean the display of advertising material on buildings and street furniture without the consent of the owner.
Unauthorised flyposting on both public and private property is a criminal offence. It can result in fines being given out by the Magistrates Court, or a fixed penalty notice up to £80 being issued by Cornwall Council or the Police.
Please advise local residents of this if you are approached for advice. Also, if you are aware of examples of flyposting and can identify the perpetrator, you can report this to Cornwall Council for investigation using these links:
We are aware of lots of people coming down with coughs and colds and feeling generally unwell. Help stop the spread of germs by taking simple steps to protect yourself and others:
- Use tissues to trap germs
- Wash your hands often with warm water and soap
- Put used tissues in the bin as quickly as possible.
Catch it. Bin it. Kill it.
If you don’t feel well enough to go to work or carry out your normal activities, please try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people. For more information visit People with symptoms of a respiratory infection including COVID-19 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Launcells Parish Defibrillators
The first defibrillator is located at Launcells Parish Hall in Grimscott - EX23 9LS
The second is It is located at the Red Post Inn, by the post box - EX23 9NW.
As before, should you need access to this "self-guiding" piece of equipment, just phone 999 and follow the instructions on the cabinet. You will then be given the access code to open it. The machine then tells you how to use it.
We would hope to arrange another set of training for the use of a defibrillator, once we return to normal, but in the meanwhile, attached is the note that was in the Parish Magazine a while back.
