WEST DOWNS ROAD >
Wainhomes Residential Development – Treligga Downs Road, <strong>Delabole</strong><br />
Notes Relating to the Proposal<br />
Wainhomes is proposing a residential development of approx. 65 homes, including: 2-4 bed open market dwellings; 2-3<br />
bed affordable dwellings for local people; and a number of accessible bungalows. Originally these accessible bungalows<br />
were proposed as age-restricted but from feedback there are some in the community that require these below the age<br />
threshold, including residents with disabilities.<br />
The aim of the scheme is to address local need. In order to achieve this aim we have included provision for:<br />
- Affordable homes for local people;<br />
- Land set aside for the Parish Council to be used for community use;<br />
- A 20 space car park that could be used for school drop off / pick up, future residents & visitors;<br />
- An education contribution towards the expansion of the primary school; and<br />
- Further S106 contributions to be discussed with Cornwall Council and the Parish Council.<br />
Two key considerations which has led the design process from the beginning has been the traffic and the primary school.<br />
To ensure that the scheme would not have an overly detrimental effect on the village Wainhomes have been working<br />
with our Highways Consultants; whose technical input has assured that the design of the current scheme would not have<br />
a major impact on the existing roads. In relation to the primary school, Wainhomes have worked closely with Aspire<br />
Academy Trust to ensure all necessary contributions would be in place for the Trust’s plans to expand <strong>Delabole</strong> Primary<br />
School.<br />
Notes Relating to the Public Consultation (28 th & 29 th April)<br />
We were really pleased with the amount of involvement of residents and representatives in our event. We had 86 people<br />
sign our register, including representatives of: the local community; the Parish Council; Cornwall Council; Cornwall Rural<br />
Housing Association; and the Aspire Academy Trust. Due to the high number of people engaging with the event, we<br />
were unable to keep an accurate record of attendees but anticipate that over 100 people attended over the two day<br />
consultation.<br />
We will be going through all the feedback provided at the consultation in the next week or two, and we look forward to<br />
the additional feedback we receive from the forthcoming publication. Once we have collated this information Wainhomes<br />
will provide a summary of the feedback to the Parish Council and any interested members of the community.
To extend the opportunity for public consultation, please use this form to feedback your views<br />
concerning the proposed development by Wain Homes.<br />
Place your completed form in a sealed envelope, addressed to Wain Homes, and post into one of the<br />
<strong>Slate</strong> boxes at the Post Office, Lugg’s Garage or the Spar shop by 10th <strong>May</strong>.<br />
These will be forwarded to Wain Homes on your behalf.

New Heli Appeal<br />
Thursday April 4th was the<br />
day for <strong>Delabole</strong> to raise<br />
money to contribute to the<br />
county’s New Heli Appeal.<br />
A goodly number gathered<br />
at the Methodist Sunday<br />
School to eat bacon baps<br />
(well done Jo and Mel), drink<br />
coffee and eat cake - such<br />
a hardship! But we all did our<br />
bit and rose to the occasion.<br />
Thanks to all those who sold<br />
raffle tickets, baked,<br />
donated, did the selling and<br />
tidied up afterwards.<br />
Kenny Bray, a stalwart volunteer at the Air Ambulance<br />
Centre, thanked everyone and £645.42 was raised for<br />
the Appeal so far.<br />

Termyn Gwari Fleghes<br />
(children’s playtime, in Cornish)<br />
Its <strong>May</strong>, so we should be able to be outside quite a lot we hope, as the weather gets<br />
warmer and the evenings are lighter. This month I have included some activities to<br />
make and do outdoors. For more ideas of things to do outside, look at<br />
www.woodlandtrust.org/naturedetectives<br />
Activity 1 – How to make a nature loom<br />
When you go out for a walk, make sure you have some wool or string with you. Find<br />
a Y shaped forked stick and tie the wool or string to it to make a loom of<br />
crisscrossed strings. On your walk collect leaves, grasses, feathers, bark, twigs and<br />
any other interesting or unusual things, then weave them into your twig loom – you<br />
will end up with a stick weaving as a memory of your walk. You can do this in any<br />
season, the things you find and collect will be different each time. You can tie on<br />
things like snail shells and holey pebbles which you can’t weave. Just make sure<br />
there is nothing living in anything you add to your weaving! – it will die!<br />
How many things did you find to include in your weaving?<br />
Activity 2 – Lets go on a scavenger hunt!<br />
This is another activity to do anytime you are out for a walk, in the woods, on the<br />
moors or at the beach. You can do a scavenger hunt on your own or with a group of<br />
friends. Each person needs an eggbox and a list of six textures you are trying to<br />
find. I have included two grids of texture words which you can copy and then cut up<br />
and put one word in each section of your eggbox. When you find something that<br />
matches one of the words, put it in the right section. The winner is the person with<br />
the most found things. You can make up your own list of things to scavenge for.<br />
Ideas for things to look for could be : white, prickly, hard, holey, as well as the ones<br />
on the grids below….<br />
soft smooth sticky<br />
yellow bendy nibbled<br />
fluffy tickly flaky<br />
rough delicate weightless

St Teath Parish Council<br />
Meetings – The day of the Parish Council meeting has again changed and meetings will now be held on the first Tuesday of<br />
the month. This change has been made because every three months the Parish Council meeting was clashing with the<br />
Cornwall Council Camelford Community Network Meetings to which we are expected to send a representative.. Meetings will<br />
continue to be held alternatively between <strong>Delabole</strong> and St Teath and start at 7.00pm. Members of the public are welcome to<br />
attend and address the council in the public session, or just listen to proceedings.<br />
Notice Boards / Website – Two new notice boards have been ordered and these will replace the old board adjacent to the<br />
Post Office in <strong>Delabole</strong> and the board on the wall of the school at St Teath. Notices will no longer be placed on the other small<br />
boards. Information is also available on the Parish Council website www.stteathparishcouncil.gov.uk. We are aware that an<br />
old website is still active and this is confusing. The Council have endeavoured to get this site closed down and will continue<br />
to do so.<br />
Email – Following problems with our email hosting company earlier in the year a new email has been set up –<br />
clerk@stteathparishcouncil.co.uk. Please use this email to get in touch or give me a call on 01208 72789.<br />
Seats – I am pleased to report that memorial seats have now been fitted in both villages and plaques have been ordered to<br />
honour those who represented the parish during the First World War.<br />
The Parish Council continue to maintain the seats throughout the parish, and a new seat has been ordered for West Lane,<br />
<strong>Delabole</strong>.<br />
<strong>Delabole</strong> Cemetery – Plans are being made to extend the path in the cemetery and work should be completed before the<br />
summer to further improve the site.<br />
Housing Development – Many residents will have attended the recent pubic consultation event organised by Wainhomes on<br />
their proposals to build on land at Westdowns, <strong>Delabole</strong>. The Parish Council have made no comments or decisions on these<br />
proposals and will not consider the scheme until a formal planning application is submitted and sent to us as one of the<br />
consultees. To clarify public speculation, two gentlemen from Wainhomes spoke to Councillors prior to the January <strong>2019</strong><br />
meeting but no offers were made to the Parish Council and the gentlemen attended following an invite from Cornwall Councillor<br />
Dominic Fairman. Cllr Fairman had suggested that land is made available for a village hall, but the Parish Council have not<br />
discussed or considered this and have not formally been approached on this matter.<br />
Trees – The Council have arranged for pine trees in <strong>Delabole</strong> Playing Field to be removed. Over the years these trees have<br />
grown in size and for public safety need to be felled.<br />
Play Areas - As the lighter evening approach and the weather improves the children will be enjoying the recreation areas .<br />
Over the last three years new equipment has been provided in both villages and we hope to build on this in the future with<br />
maybe some items for the older children or adult fitness. Please help to keep our play areas tidy by using the bins provided.<br />
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.<br />

This month’s Bible verse<br />
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain<br />
the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or<br />
what shall a man give in exchange for his<br />
soul?<br />
Matthew 16:26<br />
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and<br />
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse<br />
us from all unrighteousness.<br />

ShelterBox<br />
<strong>Delabole</strong> Women’s Fellowship had a truly informative and<br />
eye-opening visit to the Shelterbox HQ at Truro last month.<br />
Not only are they very organised as an organisation,<br />
they’re also spot-on with their guided tours - which are<br />
free. We learnt such a lot.<br />
When disaster strikes, they contact their partners based<br />
on the ground and establish the scale of the disaster and<br />
how they can help. They put together ShelterBoxes and<br />
ShelterKits that are customised, based on what would help<br />
families the most. They deliver these essentials that people<br />
need to begin rebuilding their lives and they give them the<br />
tools to self-recover and to keep families and communities<br />
together.<br />
If you’re in Truro and have an hour to spare, do pop into<br />
the Visitors’ Centre in Charles Street (behind Moorfield<br />
Car Park), Mon - Sat 10am - 4pm and have a look around.<br />
Calling Instant Readers<br />
Hope you’re an instant reader of ‘The <strong>Slate</strong>’, i.e. read it as<br />
soon as it drops through your letterbox. If you are, you’ll<br />
be able to consider dropping in to the Women’s Fellowship<br />
on Wednesday 1st <strong>May</strong> at 2.30pm at the Methodist<br />
Sunday School when it’s a games afternoon. <strong>May</strong>be<br />
you’ve got a favourite table top game at home that you’d<br />
like to bring along, And it’s all followed by refreshments.<br />
Our final session for the season is a Cream Tea and AGM<br />
on the 29th. That’s the time when we start collecting ideas<br />
for the next session in September. So, if anyone has any<br />
suggestions for topics that would appeal to them, let one<br />
of us know and we’ll see what we can do.
Scott Mann MP<br />
With Members of Parliament in the spotlight and the news filled with Brexit stories, the last few weeks in parliament have<br />
continued to be both challenging and tough. At the time of writing the biggest issue of Brexit is regrettably no closer to<br />
a conclusion but I am still positive that the deadlock can be broken, and a positive conclusion can be reached.<br />
I was pleased to hear about the emergency plans that Joe Bischler, Emergency Management Officer at Cornwall Council,<br />
has put into place should a large emergency ever occur in the surrounding area. These plans include contingencies<br />
should the weather turn harsh and snow or ice cover the roads. Given the disruption that occurred in North Cornwall in<br />
the winter after the snow storms, it is essential that a clear plan is devised to ensure residents can stay safe in hazardous<br />
conditions. The hard work in creating this plan must be commended, and I firmly believe that an emergency plan is key<br />
to saving lives in emergency situations. I would like to see this plan replicated in the area to ensure everyone is prepared<br />
in the future.<br />
I have also been busy working on some of the initiatives which I hope to bring to North Cornwall. Recently, and after<br />
taking part in the parliamentary debate on autism, I had a meeting with the National Autistic Society Cornwall. They have<br />
kindly offered to give my staff and I a training session in autism awareness, and I'm hoping we can make Bodmin<br />
Cornwall's first autistic-friendly town. Businesses and shops which sign up would turn down music and dim lights to<br />
support autistic customers for a period each week.<br />
The coast is close to my heart and I am very keen to see my Bathing Waters Bill included in the wider Environment Bill,<br />
which will set the benchmark for our environmental and water quality standards after Brexit. With that in mind I jumped<br />
at the chance to get take part in a community beach clean at Sandymouth Beach in Bude. The event was hosted by the<br />
Pennon Group as part of the ‘Great British Spring Clean’ campaign organised by Keep Britain Tidy in partnership with<br />
the Daily Mail. Other clean up events took place across North Cornwall and I very much enjoyed seeing the pictures<br />
posted online.<br />
Finally, I am proud to be one of 41 MPs who have written to Ofcom, on behalf of the all-Party Parliamentary Group on<br />
Rural business, to highlight the need for annual monitoring of mobile operators’ commitments on increasing rural 4G<br />
mobile coverage. Ofcom has recently made moves to maximise 4G coverage across the country including here in North<br />
Cornwall. Having more access to 4G across North Cornwall is firmly in everyone’s interest with greater coverage allowing<br />
for better communication access for both constituents and local businesses alike.<br />
I know how important this is for many of my constituents and we continue to fight for better coverage.<br />

Now do you remember two years ago and the Great<br />
Cornish Cake Bake which was held in memory of Mary<br />
Scarrett at the Methodist Sunday School? The room (and<br />
the stall) was packed and an amazing £652 was raised for<br />
Cornish Hospice Care. It was repeated last year and guess<br />
what’s going to happen in <strong>2019</strong>?<br />
The original fundraiser was such a success (I clearly<br />
remember Barbara saying that she thought she was<br />
clearing the cake stall when a new round of cakes and<br />
goodies arrived to be sold) that it’s been decided to revisit<br />
it this year.<br />
So <strong>Delabole</strong>’s Great Cornish Cake Bake Day will be on<br />
Friday 17th <strong>May</strong> between 10 a.m. and noon - again in<br />
the Methodist Schoolroom and again we’re hoping for your<br />
support in generously baking and hungrily devouring.<br />
Remember, it’s in aid of Cornwall Hospice Care and the<br />
morning won’t be the same without you.<br />
Family Breakfast<br />
Family Breakfast happens on the first Sunday of each<br />
month at 9.30am in the Methodist Sunday School.<br />
I am always the pessimist and mosey up to the kitchen<br />
to tell Barbara and Marie that there aren’t many there so<br />
no need to cook too much bacon or boiled eggs. Was I<br />

Dominic Fairman Cornwall Councillor - St Teath, St Breward & <strong>Delabole</strong><br />
All three of my larger villages have on-going development matters that have the potential to impact on them and so I thought<br />
it would useful to highlight the different issues that there are for each, and the different ways of approaching them.<br />
In <strong>Delabole</strong> there has been a high-profile public event regarding a potential development off Treligga Downs Road of 65 houses<br />
by Wainhomes. The pre-application advice from the Councils planning department has specifically stated that any application<br />
will need community support. This will be judged in the main by the view of the Parish Council who will have the difficult job of<br />
weighing up potential benefits such as affordable housing, highways improvements and extra school capacity against the<br />
overall impact on the village. I hope that residents will seek out their local councillors and make their views known remembering<br />
at all times that your councillors are volunteers doing a difficult job on behalf of the community. I would also welcome any views<br />
and opinions<br />
In St Teath another potential proposal for 24 affordable homes in a field opposite the school has caused concern. This site is<br />
compliant with current policies and with a proposed 100% affordable units is more likely to attract support from the planning<br />
department. The access onto North Road is an issue as the incoming carriageway is often restricted by parked cars especially<br />
during school hours. One of the key considerations is assessing the need for affordable housing in the village for people with<br />
a connection to the parish. With one permission already granted for affordable housing off Trehannick Road people might<br />
query this – however many sites across Cornwall that already have permission are never built due to commercial reasons.<br />
I strongly believe that St Teath village would benefit from a Neighbourhood Development Plan, which would allow the community<br />
to have a greater say in future developments. This has now been successfully done in many villages in Cornwall but does take<br />
a committed dedicated team of volunteers to work alongside the Parish Council to see it through to completion. If this is<br />
something that would interest you then please get in touch with me.<br />
Finally, in St Breward the recent development of 21 houses in Chyryn Drive has generally been well received. All the rented<br />
properties have been filled with local families – however four of the shared ownership units remain empty at the time of writing.<br />
Whilst shared ownership can be a good option for some families – it does have drawbacks, and it is a matter of debate as to<br />
whether these are truly affordable homes. The houses are set at full market value and a sizable deposit is required for the<br />
owned percentage which puts these beyond the means of many local families.<br />
I have urged the Parish Council to investigate promoting a Community Land Trust for the village which could develop small<br />
sites of truly affordable housing for rent or at discount purchase that will be for local people in perpetuity. If you live in St Breward<br />
and would like to be involved, please do get in touch with me. Once again it will require a group of community driven volunteers<br />
to work alongside the Parish Council to achieve this.<br />

Butterfly Bunting<br />
The Palliative and End of Life Care Team at Royal<br />
Cornwall Hospital are asking the knitting and crochet<br />
enthusiasts of Cornwall to help them create a string of<br />
butterfly bunting to reach around the Royal Cornwall<br />
Hospital in Truro, West Cornwall Hospital in Penzance<br />
and St Michael’s Hospital in Hayle.<br />
To mark the start of Dying<br />
Matters Week, starting on<br />
Monday 13th <strong>May</strong>, the team want<br />
to wrap the hospitals in a big<br />
butterfly bunting hug.<br />
Hilary’s already produced more<br />
than 40, so if you’d like to<br />
increase the number, here’s the<br />
knitting pattern below. If you<br />
prefer to crotchet the pattern’s on the Royal Cornwall<br />
Hospital’s website.<br />
However, the downside is that we need the bunting by<br />
<strong>May</strong> 6th but they’d like us to join the butterflies together<br />
to speed up the stringing of them around the buildings. If<br />
anyone’s happy to join the butterflies together (6th - 8th<br />
<strong>May</strong>), give me a ring on 212558 PLEASE!<br />

A <strong>Delabole</strong> Resident<br />
It’s coming to something when one of <strong>Delabole</strong>’s greatest<br />
assets is allowed to become overgrown with weeds, litter,<br />
graffiti and peeling paint and the Landlady of The Bettle<br />
and Chisel feels the need to don overalls and clean up the<br />
outside of the public toilets, wash down the paint and<br />
repaint the whole outside.<br />
To her and her helpers I would like to say a big thank you.<br />
What a smashing job you have done, it looks great.<br />
To the Parish Council that runs these toilets I would like<br />
to say, ‘What do you spend our money on?’<br />
Nowhere can we find out where our Council Tax goes.<br />
Under the rules of transparency this information should be<br />
on the Council web site, available for all to see, but it is<br />
not! In fact the new web site they had created, (and what<br />
did that cost?) has nothing on it apart from occasional<br />
minutes, which do not show how much they spend each<br />
month, and agendas!<br />
All they seem to have done is cut down what few trees we<br />
had and put up notices telling us we will be fined for doing<br />
all manner of things.<br />
Why don’t they clear the lay-by of commercial vehicles<br />
and vehicles ‘for sale’ so people could park there to use<br />
the toilets and go to the shop, instead of having to block<br />
Pengelly and adjacent roads?<br />
They have even pulled up the Hornbeam hedge in the<br />
cemetery that two widows of the Parish paid for so they<br />
would have had a sheltered area in which to sit when<br />
visiting their husband’s graves! St Teach Parish Council<br />
is not fit for purpose.<br />

A Methodist Minister’s View<br />
He’s got the whole world in his hand<br />
He’s got the whole world in his hand<br />
He’s got the whole wide world in his hand<br />
He’s got the whole world in his hand<br />
I recently used this hymn at the start of a morning Service which<br />
included a baptism. We went on to sing ‘He’s got the little tiny<br />
baby’ and ‘He’s got everybody here in his hand.’ Through singing<br />
the hymn we were reminding ourselves that we live alongside<br />
other in God’s World, and that God cares for each of us.<br />
There is no known author to this hymn, But it comes to us from the African -American spiritual tradition and is a<br />
hymn or song that has passed through the generations over, perhaps, 250 or more years. Its origins are a reminder<br />
to us that we live in a world where each one of us contributes to the experience and well being of people around<br />
us, and across the world.<br />
I have become really conscious of the fact that we live on a World map and part of the World Village over recent<br />
days as the publicity for Christian Aid Week has arrived in the post. Christian Aid Week this year runs from 12 th<br />
– 18 th <strong>May</strong> and during that week we will be encouraged to think of the plight of many of other brothers and sisters<br />
in our countries and contribute something to aid their well-being. Christian Aid as an organisation is one of our<br />
leading overseas development agencies whose work makes a difference to the lives of many people through their<br />
on-going project work. Additionally, they are one of the bodies who run the National Disasters Emergency<br />
Committee which responds to emergency situations when they arise. Hopefully like me, you respect the work<br />
which they do.<br />
My thinking about us living on a World map and contributing to the welfare of each other also came to the fore as<br />
I have listened to the news bulletins which have reported on the ‘racist comments’ being made at some football<br />
matches toward some of our talented players. Some of our premier league teams include players from various<br />
nations whose skills are marvelled week in week out. Amidst their experiences of hurtful comments, they contribute<br />
to our well being in our world village. – God’s World. Indeed, many people from many nations contribute to our<br />
well-being.<br />
All of this gives us food for thought and reflection as we experience God’s love and goodness day by day.<br />
