Many excellent suggestions
I have read the comments and agree with most -
Yes, we need more political power in Cornwall, devolution etc, call it what you will
Yes, more limits on tourism which has caused massive destruction and inconvenience to those who live here - less numbers, better quality, less pollution, less traffic jams etc
Yes, a tourist tax is desperately needed
Yes, a control on second homes which also cause huge damage in our locale
Yes, more care for the environment
Yes, a better planning department, not the out of control development now ongoing and permitted by a dysfunctional planning system
Yes, faster internet access and encouragement to better quality employment either dependent on traditional industry or modern hi tech industry
Yes, an encouragement to elected councillors to listen more to what local people are asking for
Yes, a reduction in parking fees to encourage town centre footfall
Yes, a control on out of town shopping centres and the associated MacDonalds takeaways which do none any favours
Yes, a better quality local news source better than what the current press offers
Yes, more respect for local heritage, history and culture
So, a whole load of 'yeses' from me!
The coronavirus has been horrible and I expect will continue to cause deaths in future but it has revealed a better Cornwall than what we have witnessed before. Quieter, less pollution, cleaner, more respectful and so on. Pity it won't stay that way.
