Major property projects in Liskeard and Looe are to be discussed at a meeting open to residents.

People are invited to their local Community Network Panel meeting on Monday, October 9 from 6.30pm to 8.30pm at Pelynt Village Hall.

Adam Birchall, Cornwall Council’s head of property, will tell the panel about some of the work that’s going on in and around the two towns.

There’s also an opportunity for local residents to join in speed dating style updates on policing, environmental growth, and CCTV. 

There will be a presenter for each topic who will provide a five-minute overview and then answer questions for 15 minutes.

In addition to this, Caroline Court, Cornwall Council’s service director for well-being and public health, will be attending. 

Each community network panel now has a member of Cornwall Council’s leadership team to give advice and aim to ensure strong links between the panel and the council. 

Cornwall Councillor Armand Toms, chair of Liskeard and Looe Community Network Panel, said: “Everyone is invited to come to the meeting and join in the discussion. 

“The speed dating style updates are always lively, and the presentation on major property projects promises to be very interesting with a lot happening in both Looe and Liskeard. 

“There will also be one minute updates from the local Cornwall Councillors so people can catch up on what’s going on in their area.”

Liskeard and Looe Community Network Panel meets quarterly to discuss matters that affect the local area and to progress these by working in partnership with Cornwall Council and its partners, including town and parish councils, the voluntary and community sector, and 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 highways issues. 

The panel includes all eight Cornwall Councillors for the area and representatives of the 18 parishes in the community network: Deviock, Dobwalls and Trewidland, Duloe, Lanreath, Lanteglos by Fowey, Liskeard, Looe, Menheniot, Morval, Polperro, Pelynt, Quethiock, St Cleer, St Keyne, St Martin-by-Looe, St Neot, St Pinnock and Warleggan.

The meeting is open to the public and everyone is welcome.
