In any society you need the rule of law and order. Cornwall Council has some role in this, for example the Council is in charge of all the roads in SE Cornwall, except for the A38, operated by National Highways.
In 2019, Cornwall Council declared a Climate Emergency. The Council has encouraged use of public transport, replaced its pool cars with electric vehicles, installed solar panels and planted trees. But some new Councillors don't realise economic benefits.
Fair, free and open society, preferring cooperation with neighbouring countries, rather than isolation. Jim tells of travel in Europe; how people feel about flags on lamp posts; and rebuilding trade with EU to boost our economy.
Teachers across Cornwall are telling me the same story: children are arriving at school hungry, tired or in pain because their families simply can’t get the support they need. A hungry child can’t concentrate, and a child in pain can’t learn.
Cornwall Councillors were invited by the National Farmers Union (NFU) to a farm visit. Farmers should be valued as they produce food and manage our landscapes. We aim to protect the County Farms and support Nature Recovery and Climate Change resilience.
Improving water quality in our lakes and rivers. More green spaces. Better support for hospitality industry.
