Residents of the Helston and the surrounding area can put their questions to a representative of the Police and Crime Commissioner at an event on Wednesday, December 2.

The public are invited to the the December meeting of the Helston and South Kerrier Community Network Panel to discuss both local and force-wide policing issues, from 6pm to 8pm at Cury Village Hall.

Also on the agenda is a presentation from Cornwall Council’s Public Spaces Team who will explain the work which the council has carried out around setting maintenance standards on assets such as public spaces and parks.

The new standards aim to provide a consistent and affordable service across Cornwall for public spaces managed by the council with regards to environment service standards and how these can be standardised across the county.

The Helston and South Kerrier Community Network Panel meets quarterly to discuss matters that affect the local community and to agree priorities that can be delivered by Cornwall Council and other agencies including the police and health services. Some of the areas that community networks focus on include anti-social behaviour, economic development, the environment, community planning, regeneration, conservation, community safety, transport and highway issues.

The panel comprises all seven Cornwall Councillors for the area and representatives from the 18 parishes in the Helston and South Kerrier Community Network: Breage, Crowan, Cury, Germoe, Grade-Ruan, Gunwalloe, Gweek, Helston, Landewednack, Manaccan, Mawgan-in-Meneage, Mullion, Porthleven, Sithney, St. Anthony-in-Meneage, St. Keverne, St. Martin-in-Meneage and Wendron.
