Quiet start to night meetings

A trial scheme, of holding evening meetings to enable the public to take a greater interest in Caradon council affairs, began extremely quietly on June 9 with a meeting of the LATED committee.

The scheme is to last six months, and meetings of the east and west planning, the full council and several regular sub committees will have a 6.30pm start.

However, just one person attended the inaugural session on Wednesday evening. It turned out the visitor had come to meet a Caradon staff member.
