Hayle River Community Project
Cornwall Council is working with the Environment Agency to create a plan for the future of the Hayle River. We will look at current footpaths and think of ideas for flood protection and habitat creation.
You may have noticed sections of the footpath have been closed due to erosion. This is because the river is now starting to follow its natural route again.
We need options to protect these footpaths and look for alternative routes if needed. We will also look at flood defences on the river.
Within this project we'd like to work together effectively across the Cornwall Council, Environment Agency, Parish Councils and the local community. To review the project so far, Cornwall Council is holding a 2nd workshop to present the vision plan and gather feedback from the local community. All welcome; please come and hear from the project team and share your thoughts.
Date: Wednesday 29th June | Time: 2pm – 7pm
Location: St Erth Methodist Hall, Chapel Hill, St. Erth Postcode: TR27 6HL
If you were unable to attend the first workshop, the presentation and resources from the workshop are available on the right hand side of this page.

Boardwalk/raised path at the lower section of river for continuous path through to the causeway/tidal barrage. Impassable at high tide.

Make the river path between village bridge and Causeway walkable at all times of the year and tides, especially where it floods a high tide.
Ensure at the same time there is a better easier access up the bank to eventually join up with Hayle cycle path/footpath and place a bus stop and shelter preferably with bike rack on the Causeway road for villagers and visitors to have safe level access to mainline buses and thus the wider world rather than reliant on an extremely sparse poor bus service (ostensibly 2 return journeys a day widely spaced out). This would encourage healthy exercise and greater use of public transport.
