Design Panel update

Thank you to everyone who expressed an interest in taking part in our new Design Panel.

We had a positive response to the invitation and have held a preliminary meeting of the Panel, with representatives of the main Town Councils, Community Network Panels and the Looe Development Trust (who were the originators of the Looe Valley Trails project). Members discussed the rules of the group as well reviewing the applications received from the wider community.

We have identified a number of new members to join the panel who will represent the communities in which they live. However it is vital for the Panel to represent all the communities the project will serve and there is currently a potential gap in the representation of young people and those with different needs.

To address this we have reserved two seats for these groups and are now actively seeking people to come forward to join. If you would like to get involved, please contact us at LVT@cornwall.gov.uk

The first full meeting of the Design Panel is due to take place during the next few weeks. This will start to look in detail at different elements of the scheme. We will be providing feedback on the meeting on the Let’s Talk site and in future newsletters.
