Residents of Falmouth, Penryn and their surrounds are invited to attend a meeting of the towns' community network panel tonight.

The meeting takes place at Temperance Hall in Lower Market Street, Penryn, from 7-9pm.

Andy James, Head of Highways and Environment at Cormac, will be giving an update on the delivery programme of road schemes, including the Community Network Panel Highways scheme.

Cornwall councillor John Bastin, chairman of the Falmouth and Penryn Community Network Panel, said: “The meeting is a great opportunity for residents to find out more about local issues and to also have their say. We would encourage everyone to come along.”

The panel meets every two months 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.
