Innovative and Creative

I returned to live in Cornwall last year, it is still the innovative and creative place I've always know it it be. There is a long history of Cornish innovation and creativity lets use it, build on it, There is a can do attitude here that can be harnessed and directed if we are willing to come together and dream BIG.

Reading the comments here, there are so many good ideas.

I feel we need to be thinking beyond tourism, if we are looking to a sustainable future where all our residents thrive.

Reclaiming our communities, reclaiming our democracy - planning a transition from our current council structure to local assemblies, all of us being willing to put the time and energy into bringing about the change we want to see.

Fully resourced villages, and town centres that are pleasant places to be, where we can gather and play safely not just shop, car free zones that are full of plants, art and seats. Each community coming together, designing it's physical space and actioning it with the support of the council. Every community needs an outside gathering space, trees and food plants accessible to all.

Good free public transport, happening in other counties why not here?

Housing, we all know it's a problem, high levels of homelessness and high levels of second homes, have a tiered Council Tax system,

single property, full time occupancy - lowest tax,

multiple properties - part time occupancy - highest tax, perhaps twice or 3 times the lowest . there would be fewer households needing housing benefit.

Thank you for this space, for calling us to create the Cornwall we want.

dream big

We can do it
