Make a decision

Cornwall needs to decide what it wants before it will make any meaningful progress.

Does it want tourism or not? Does it want 2nd home owners or not? Does it want new industry or is it only willing to protect what it has?

Within limits it can do anything it wants provided it decides on a path and has leadership.

The very fact the questions above have not been answered fully suggest that current leadership may not be appropriate and that is not a political statement.

Lockdown has given people time to reflect but it has also provided a comfort bubble which has removed many from reality. Talk of being able to cycle everywhere and listen to birds sing is very unlikely unless you are prepared to move to the Channel Islands. People, not all, have had the comfort of the furlough scheme as well so when mulling over Cornwalls future its important you leave the comfort bubble to get to the starting point in your deliberations.
