Consultation has concluded

During 2019 and 2020 we undertook a review of the whole of Cornwall. The review had to be paused temporarily due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. When the review resumed, Cornwall Council was able to make final decisions in respect of most Towns and Parishes. Due to the complexity of the issues for the whole of Penzance Parish and the time constraints Cornwall Council agreed that the decisions about proposals for Penzance be deferred until after the May 2021 elections.

Since we last consulted on these deferred proposals (between December 2019 and March 2020) a considerable length of time had passed and some of the circumstances that are relevant to these proposals may have changed since then. We therefore provided a further opportunity to provide feedback on these proposals.

As no final decisions were made with regards to these proposals, we were seeking opinions on:

  • the Council’s draft recommendations from December 2019 that were the subject of the last public consultation; and/or
  • any subsequent recommendations that were made following the consideration of the outcome of the public consultation.

Boundary between Wadebridge and St Breock 

Background

Cornwall Council received a submission from Wadebridge Town Council that it wished to change its boundary so that the area indicated on Map 1.0 would become part of Wadebridge. St Breock Parish Council did not support this change. 

Cornwall Council’s draft recommendation was that the boundary change as shown in Map 1.0 would better reflect the identity and interests of the area and secure more effective and efficient community governance. 

Following the public consultation, the recommendation of the Electoral Review Panel was to defer the decision until after the May 2021 elections due to the lack of agreement between the parishes concerned, the complexity of the issues raised and time constraints. 

Full Council approved the recommendation to defer for the reasons provided by the Electoral Review Panel. 

Consultation

To help inform the Council’s final decision on the changes under consideration, we asked for any additional views and information about these proposals, particularly with regards to any relevant changes that may have taken place in the area since March 2020 that impact on the proposals under consideration. People did not need to re-submit any views that they had already provided to us during the original consultation, as these would still be considered.

To provide their additional views, feedback or evidence with regards to these draft proposals, people were invited complete a feedback form, which was available online on this page or as hard copy on request. A printable reference copy is provided on this page. People were also able to email or post their response to us. The deadline for responses was 29 April 2022.

Outcomes

The feedback from this public consultation was considered at Constitution and Governance Committee meetings on 6th September 2022, 1st November 2022 and 12th January 2023 and informed their recommendations, which were raised and discussed at an Extraordinary meeting of the Council held on 31st January.

With regards to the proposals on this page, the decision was made to make No Changes to the current arrangements.
