St Teath Parish Council Meetings – The day of the Parish Council meeting has again changed and meetings will now be held on the first Tuesday of the month. This change has been made because every three months the Parish Council meeting was clashing with the Cornwall Council Camelford Community Network Meetings to which we are expected to send a representative.. Meetings will continue to be held alternatively between Delabole and St Teath and start at 7.00pm. Members of the public are welcome to attend and address the council in the public session, or just listen to proceedings. Notice Boards / Website – Two new notice boards have been ordered and these will replace the old board adjacent to the Post Office in Delabole and the board on the wall of the school at St Teath. Notices will no longer be placed on the other small boards. Information is also available on the Parish Council website www.stteathparishcouncil.gov.uk. We are aware that an old website is still active and this is confusing. The Council have endeavoured to get this site closed down and will continue to do so. Email – Following problems with our email hosting company earlier in the year a new email has been set up – clerk@stteathparishcouncil.co.uk. Please use this email to get in touch or give me a call on 01208 72789. Seats – I am pleased to report that memorial seats have now been fitted in both villages and plaques have been ordered to honour those who represented the parish during the First World War. The Parish Council continue to maintain the seats throughout the parish, and a new seat has been ordered for West Lane, Delabole. Delabole Cemetery – Plans are being made to extend the path in the cemetery and work should be completed before the summer to further improve the site. Housing Development – Many residents will have attended the recent pubic consultation event organised by Wainhomes on their proposals to build on land at Westdowns, Delabole. The Parish Council have made no comments or decisions on these proposals and will not consider the scheme until a formal planning application is submitted and sent to us as one of the consultees. To clarify public speculation, two gentlemen from Wainhomes spoke to Councillors prior to the January 2019 meeting but no offers were made to the Parish Council and the gentlemen attended following an invite from Cornwall Councillor Dominic Fairman. Cllr Fairman had suggested that land is made available for a village hall, but the Parish Council have not discussed or considered this and have not formally been approached on this matter. Trees – The Council have arranged for pine trees in Delabole Playing Field to be removed. Over the years these trees have grown in size and for public safety need to be felled. Play Areas - As the lighter evening approach and the weather improves the children will be enjoying the recreation areas . Over the last three years new equipment has been provided in both villages and we hope to build on this in the future with maybe some items for the older children or adult fitness. Please help to keep our play areas tidy by using the bins provided. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns. Jenny Hoskin (Parish Clerk) Telephone: 01208 72789 MAY 2019 This month’s Bible verse For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Matthew 16:26 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; Hebrews 2:3a King James Bible ShelterBox Delabole Women’s Fellowship had a truly informative and eye-opening visit to the Shelterbox HQ at Truro last month. Not only are they very organised as an organisation, they’re also spot-on with their guided tours - which are free. We learnt such a lot. When disaster strikes, they contact their partners based on the ground and establish the scale of the disaster and how they can help. They put together ShelterBoxes and ShelterKits that are customised, based on what would help families the most. They deliver these essentials that people need to begin rebuilding their lives and they give them the tools to self-recover and to keep families and communities together. If you’re in Truro and have an hour to spare, do pop into the Visitors’ Centre in Charles Street (behind Moorfield Car Park), Mon - Sat 10am - 4pm and have a look around. Calling Instant Readers Hope you’re an instant reader of ‘The Slate’, i.e. read it as soon as it drops through your letterbox. If you are, you’ll be able to consider dropping in to the Women’s Fellowship on Wednesday 1st May at 2.30pm at the Methodist Sunday School when it’s a games afternoon. Maybe you’ve got a favourite table top game at home that you’d like to bring along, And it’s all followed by refreshments. Our final session for the season is a Cream Tea and AGM on the 29th. That’s the time when we start collecting ideas for the next session in September. So, if anyone has any suggestions for topics that would appeal to them, let one of us know and we’ll see what we can do.
