Yes "The Cornwall we Want"

Well the Cornwall we want depends on who you ask. For Cornish people, most I would agree, are fed up with the continuing construction of apartments and houses, which are not for the benefit of the Cornish people. Therefore the Cornwall I want is:

1. Before being able to buy a new property in Cornwall, you must reside full-time in Cornwall. The rise of second homes has pushed property prices to rediculous levels, such as in Mawgan Porth. Furthermore more people want to move to Cornwall and end up buying the new properties being built. All new builds must only be built if there is local demand and are for local people (resident in Cornwall for a minimum of five years).

2. Cornwall County Council to include local people more when there are requests for new developments. This is to ensure there is representation from the community at all planning stages. This is to ensure there is a formal discussion on whether there is a true demand.

3. Current second home owners should contribute more to the Cornish economy and pay a higher council tax charge. Due to Covid-19 it became apparent on the number of second homes empty in Newquay.

The county is being destroyed by the continuing development of accommodation which does not meet the needs of Cornish people but the needs of people wanting to buy a holiday home in Cornwall. This does not support the communities in Cornwall at all.
