Residents living in Falmouth, Penryn, and the surrounding areas will be able to have their say on planning and fly tipping at a meeting with Cornwall Council representatives later this month.

Anyone from the area covered by the Falmouth and Penryn Community Network Panel is invited to discuss planning matters with Cornwall Councillor Edwina Hannaford, portfolio holder for planning, and Phil Mason, head of planning and enterprise at Cornwall Council, at it's next meeting on Tuesday, June 28.

The meeting will take place in Penryn Town Council Chamber on Higher Market Street between 7pm and 9pm, and local people can discuss general planning matters as well as the local plan which sets outs how land is used and what will be built where.

They will also be able to ask questions, on fly tipping and littering in rural areas and an update on the Neighbourhood Plan.

Cornwall Councillor John Bastin, chair of the panel, said: “This is a great opportunity for any member of the public who would like to find out more, or has a question, about planning to come along and discuss them with Edwina Hannaford and the Cornwall Council planning team.”

If you cannot attend the meeting and would like to submit a question you can contact Mark James, community liaison officer for Falmouth and Penryn, by emailing mjames2@cornwall.gov.uk or telephoning 01209 615647.

The Falmouth and Penryn 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 nine Cornwall Councillors for the area and representatives of the nine parishes in the Falmouth and Penryn Community Network - Budock, Constantine, Falmouth, Mabe, Mawnan, Mylor, Penryn, Perranarworthal and St Gluvias.
