Tolerance towards 2nd Home owners

******Emmets - Virus ridden money

Damage to vehicles etc etc.... All this underlines the serious amount of vitriol aimed at second home owners. We are blamed for spreading Covid, the rising cost of homes and much more. I get the resentment I get the fears I get it!

However, I urge ‘locals’ to consider that most 2nd Home owners are ordinary people just looking for a different life. We invest thousands into the local community through local tradesmen, we provide holiday accommodation for tourists and often rental accommodation for locals over the winter. I estimate this is £30000 + per house. Tourists spend £100+ into the local economy per day. The Cornish economy will unfortunately take a big hit this year and over the coming winter months . The tourists £ should be welcomed . Certain villagers are busy expounding hate on social media This does nothing to encourage tourists whom are made to feel unwelcome at the very least. Cornwall is a holiday destination- please face upto that fact as much as it’s hard and promote your wonderful county in a positive manner.
