Listening to you 2025

New date for Penwithick event: 27 February, 7pm - 8.30pm

Cllr Linda Taylor is the Leader of Cornwall Council.

Linda leads Cornwall Council’s Cabinet – which is the group of councillors responsible for making most of the decisions at Cornwall Council.

Linda has been holding public meetings, to meet and hear from Cornwall's residents. Linda will be visiting more communities during January and February 2025 to hear from local people.

Linda will be holding very informal daytime events in Camborne, Newquay, Launceston and St Agnes, during February.

You are welcome to come along and chat with Linda, ask her a question about local issues or Cornwall Council services and priorities.

The next phase of Linda's public engagement begins in January 2025

As well as visiting Camborne as part of her informal chats, Linda was invited to visit the Camborne Deaf Community Centre, where there were British Sign Language interpretation for people who are deaf or have hearing loss. Linda has also been invited to meet with the Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change (CN4C) Co-design team.

Hearing directly from people helps Linda, and her Cabinet colleagues, to understand what is on people's minds. Linda wants to meet as many people in as many communities as possible.

You do not have to agree with other people's opinion but we ask you to be respectful and considerate.

Please let us know if you have any specific accessibility needs - as we want everyone to be able to take part.

Linda has already been to Bodmin, Bude, Callington, Falmouth, Helston, Penzance, Perranporth, Redruth, Saltash, St Austell and Truro. You can read the questions asked and responses given at each of those events, in the summary reports section.

Linda has really enjoyed meeting people and hearing from them about what's on their mind.

"I want to really listen to local residents, businesses and community groups and hear what they see as the local priorities and how we can work together to make Cornwall an even better place.

I also hope to hear from them about how we can work with communities for a Carbon Neutral Cornwall, where everyone can start well, live well and age well."
