COUNCIL CORNER Delabole Parish CouncilAt their April meeting the council received feedback from the Camelford Community Network Panel meeting on 29thMarch. This included a report from the Police who are experiencing a serious lack of manpower due to Covid, an updateon local health services from The Veor Group, two road updates about Community Network Highways and the Camelfordby pass. Good progress is being made on the 20mph scheme across all the villages in North Cornwall.The Parish councillors discussed -• The cost of maintaining the public toilets due to vandalism and misuse, repairing the lights and hand washingfacilities and the possibility of introducing a charge for the use of the toilets. This is under review.• The invitation to send a PC representative to the Jubilee parade in Truro was declined. The arrangements forour village Jubilee celebrations were noted.• A request from the Christmas Lights group to facilitate the erection of poles along the inside wall of the playingfield extend the lighting programme was approved.• It was agreed to continue with the Traffic Warden contract for another year.• To purchase and adopt a ‘Scribe’ cemetery management programme which will help the Clerk to maintainrecords, manage requests and produce the necessary funeral documents.Full minutes from April 12th meeting can be viewed on the notice board.The Annual Parish Meeting will be on Tuesday 10th May at 6.30pm before the regular PC meeting at 7pm.

Mrs Moore wasmy teacher at school and Idistinctly remember herteaching us Folk Dancing -which was a BIG THING inDelabole in the 1950s. It wasso popular that there was aweekly session held at theLiberal Club, where you paid3d (thrupence) to be taught byMr Warren and, I think, MissLloyd (another teacher at thePrimary School). I could wellbe wrong. If I am, please writein and correct my recollections.Back to the tailor’s shop -there was a long table insideon which bolts of fabric couldbe unrolled and a large pair oftailor’s shears used to cutrequired amounts or patternMoore's shop (on the right, with the overhang) in 1927pieces. I think wool andwhen the Prince of Wales came to Delabole.sewing accessories were alsoPhoto courtesy of Brenda Burnardsold but the thing that intriguedme most about the shop was the overhang and frontage - it was unique in the village and it had a name: Under Moore’s.At one stage there was a village notice board on one of the walls where people booked the date that they intended touse for their event so that there was no overlap with other organisations. However, when Tricia and I were putting togethera booklet about the village for use at a Flower Festival, we interviewed Mrs Norah Hore about her memories of the spotand she said, ‘It would be full of boys from Camelford and P.C. Ebbett, who lived opposite in the Police House, wouldcome across the road and find out what was going on. You’d hide away in behind so you couldn’t be seen!’There have, of course, been many more occupants of the shop since those days. How about someone taking up thestory from the 50s and bringing it rather more up to date?HH
