One and All

Our Cornish moto 'One and All' should be a guiding force for the decisions that are made about our counties future. At the moment this does not seem to be the case. Local planning committees take decisions on developments and if they say no, the decision is taken to a higher power out of county and we end up with the development anyway. This approach is ruining our county.

We desperately need more political and planning powers to make the decisions that affect our communities without those decisions being overridden.

We need less tourists and we desperately need to control the quality of the way in which seaside villages develop - Perranporth is being ruined, whilst St Ives prospers due to a better quality of visitor

We do need a tourist tax and lets make it a high one

No more second homes, give our children a chance to stay in Cornwall

Get the £10,000 grants back from the second home owners who pretend they are running a business, this money could then go to improve the education of our children.

Work to get the government to close the loophole which allows second home owners to avoid both council tax and business rates. Why should we be paying for their bin collections etc.

If the above is enacted the environment would be better cared for which is critical for the health of our children.
