Yo and nicely put @The Chef

Keep Cornwall beautiful

Support local businesses and local farmers. To stop concreting over the countryside with huge amounts of housing, especially if it’s likely that these will be bought by out of county families.To encourage wild flowers as much as possible and plant bee/butterfly flowers. Stop cutting verges or limit it.

Homes

During the lockdown we have loved walking around more but have been struck by how many vacant properties there are, assumed to be mostly second homes.Tourists are valuable to our economy but not second home owners who arrive with everything they need for the week and then leave.I’m sad that so much building is taking place on greenfield sites when so much housing is empty for most of the year.This needs addressing. Homes should be for residents of Cornwall.Let visitors come and stay in hotels and campsites, spending money locally, and return the housing stock to residents please.
