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.
