Make Cornwall you first priority

I believe that Cornwall Council should start by recognising the Cornish people and the people of Cornwall more.

My emails to my Cornwall Councillor or to the Council are rarely answered.

We are placed below the damaging demands of tourism even though the bulk of us derive no benefit from it. My own work is not related to tourism nor is that of anyone I know, yet we are often overlooked.

We have witnessed immense destruction caused by over development and housing estates and second home for the wealthy have dramatically altered Cornwall.

Cornwall, its history and heritage, environment and culture needs far greater attention.

Cornwall need more power locally so creating a bottom up democracy rather than a top down. We are well overdue proper devolution.

This needs to be done sooner rather than later. The Cornwall that so many love and feel an affinity with is being taken from us.
