The Cornwall Park Home Forum is hosting another of its resident meetings and this time it’s being held in East Taphouse.

The meeting will be held on Thursday, April 27 at East Taphouse Community Hall from 11.30am to 3.15pm

The Forum committee, which is made up of residents who live on park homes sites across Cornwall, has organised the gathering so that residents can hear about important issues such as the latest on the ten percent charge on the purchase of new park homes and the importance of setting up a qualifying residents’ association.

Along with the main discussion topics, a number of services and organisations will be there to provide free advice, information and support and this will include representatives from Cornwall Council.

Forum Committee Member Kay Ray said: ’This is the first time we’re holding one of our meetings in South East Cornwall and we hope that residents in nearby parks, as well as from across Cornwall, are able to join us.

’Feedback from previous meetings has been really positive and we are keen to keep them going so that we make sure that park home residents in Cornwall know what’s going on.’

The day will start at 11.30am with registration and refreshments and there will be a number of interesting discussions and opportunities to speak to people during the day. A light buffet lunch will be provided for everyone attending and there will be plenty of tea and biscuits.

There are nearly ninety protected park home sites across Cornwall where residents live there as their permanent home.

The Forum, which was set up with the support of Cornwall Council’s Localism Team, was established to help provide park home residents in Cornwall with a way to engage with the Council and also meet residents from other sites so support and information can be shared.

The Forum currently has some vacancies on its committee, so if you live in a park home and want to find out more, please go to the meeting or email [email protected]
