Truro to benefit
from new Changing
Places facility
Truro City Council is pleased to announce
that a new Changing Places facility will be
installed at the public toilets on Green Street.
The current provisions will be refurbished and
the new facility will be installed. A Changing
Places toilet is larger and more accessible,
which meets a number of additional needs
of disabled people and their carers. The
toilets are also fitted with specialised
equipment for support. Find out more at
www.changing-places.org.
The Green Street project, which is expected
to open in Spring 2023, is already in its
development stage and has now benefitted
from a government grant.
The Mayor of Truro, Cllr Steven Webb,
commented: “Changing Places toilets give
you peace of mind whether you are visiting or
are local to Truro. It means if you are severely
disabled you don’t have to go home to be
attended to by carers. As a severely disabled
Mayor of Truro, it’s nice to know we have
received funding to have such a facility in the
centre of our city.”
During the development, there will be public
consultations to give people the opportunity
to discuss the exterior design. More details
will be released in due course.

Ukrainian Aid and Support
The Cornwall Refugee Resource Network (CRRN) was
established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation
(CIO) in 2019, formerly known as the Cornwall Refugee
Resettlement Network.
It brings together like-minded and experienced
individuals across Cornwall to mobilise in
support of refugees and asylum seekers, both
within the county and beyond. They held a
Zoom meeting on 4th April. For full details:

Community Sponsorship
The Community Sponsorship Scheme enables
people to form groups to work together to
resettle refugee families in their local area.
It was launched by the government in 2016
and in the first five years, 150 community
sponsorship groups resettled just under 700
refugees across the UK.
Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children
Cornwall Council has agreed to provide
accommodation and support for up to 74
unaccompanied asylum seeking children. This
number is
determined
by the Home
Office as part of a national allocation scheme
to reduce the number of children under the
care of Kent County Council.
Cornwall Council are seeking people
interested in providing supported
lodgings for unaccompanied children
aged 16-17 years.

New tennis pavilion
at Boscawen Park
Work began in January this year on the
new tennis pavilion at Boscawen Park.
The steelwork, service pipes have now
been installed and foundations poured
The team at the time of writing this, have started
block laying and the project will hopefully be
completed by the second week of September.
Once complete Truro residents will see the
construction of a new cafe, changing rooms, office,
public toilets and a Changing Places toilet.
Richard Budge, Parks, Amenities and Facilities
Manager for Truro City Council, said: “We are
thrilled that this project is now able to get underway
and we look forward to welcoming the residents
of Truro to use the new facilities once work is
complete. It will be a great asset to the community
and we are excited to see people enjoy and use this
space.”
The existing cafe, Cafe in the Park, was temporarily
relocated in July 2020, which means it can remain
open throughout the duration of the work. It
currently sits to the side of the tennis courts, next
to the entrance to the park from the car park.
Following the completion of the new cafe, the
existing unit will be removed.
You can view the plans for the project via

Safe cycling Truro
to St Agnes
A ST AGNES TO TRURO
Sign our petition
for a safe cycle
route
Four years ago,
during the
consultation on the
A30 dualling scheme,
Truro Cycling Campaign gave voice
to local demand for a safe cycle route
between St Agnes and Truro. Our
campaign helped Cornwall Council
win national funding for multi user
paths in Mid Cornwall, known as the
‘Saints Trails’. These included a direct,
segregated path from St Agnes to
Threemilestone with a bridge at
Chiverton. This would link with existing
and future paths to provide a route
into Truro and connection at County
Hall with the Truro Loops project and
upgraded Newham Trail.

Construction has started in St
Agnes. However, we are concerned
that the route will suffer in a
counterproductive move to save
Council money.The segregated section
along Teagle Straight has already been
dropped from the current project and
replaced with a long and hilly detour
along back lanes. We also have concerns
that the cycle bridge at Chiverton could
be cut and people expected to use
the long, isolated and intimidating
tunnel currently being built by National
Highways as part of the main A30
improvement scheme.
A safe, segregated, direct, path along
a key commuter route into the capital

Keeping safe using barbecues
It’s the time of year when we hope to enjoy
al fresco dining, including having picnics
and barbecues. Improper use/disposal
of barbecues causes numerous fires and
injuries each year.
The risks of distraction can also increase when
people are around you when you are cooking.
The typical British summer barbecue should be
safe and enjoyable for everyone and generally,
common sense preparation is enough to ensure
you have a safe and enjoyable time.
Following some basic barbecue fire safety
precautions reduces the risk of injury and
damage to property.
Barbecue Safety Tips
• Disposable barbecues, in particular, have
caused numerous fires and injuries in the
recent past. In some public areas you may
be prohibited from using barbecues. Ensure
you are permitted to use a barbecue at your
chosen location!
• Never use a barbecue indoors or in a tent
• The BBQ should be correctly set up on an
appropriate stand or non-flammable flat
surface away from anything that can catch fire
• Never use petrol or paraffin to start or revive
your barbecue; use only recognised lighters or
starter fuels on cold coals
• Always keep a bucket of water or sand
nearby for emergencies
• Never leave a barbecue unattended
• When having a barbecue, consider how the
smoke will affect others
• Keep children, pets and beach games away
from the cooking area
• After cooking, make sure the barbecue is
cool before moving it
• Do not dispose of the barbecue until
completely extinguished and cold, using
water or sand. Do not bury disposable
barbecues in the sand. Hot metal grill plates,
embers and hot sand can cause serious injury
• Do not put hot ashes in wheelie bins
Fire Safety Cornwall was formed by Jeff Hick
following serving 30 years in Cornwall Fire
and Rescue Service. Jeff, along with former
fire service colleagues, aims to provide high
standards of service in all aspects of fire safety.

Have you got
the bottle?
When the first lockdown began Andy was
desperate to find something to do to keep
himself occupied as his partner, Holly carried
on working as normal. Everyone was out
riding bikes etc but he wanted to obey the
rules and find something he could do on his
own.
He grew up near
Truro and always
loved playing in and
around the rivers
and on occasion he
had found old bottles
in the mud and
stashed them away
for safe keeping.
During lockdown
one day he found
one in the back of
a drawer which gave
him the idea of returning to the river to start his
search over again.
The Chacewater Brewery Collection which is the only
collection to exist but Andy bought almost all of them
apart from the one in the bottom left which his mum
found when he was very young
This was enough to get him hooked and it
wasn’t long before he was amassing quite a
collection and when the rules changed was
then able to extend his search to other rivers in
Cornwall.
They still walk the rivers but have also become
quite the collector and now look to buy bottles
too. They have turned their living room into
their own private museum!
The first visit went incredibly well and Holly
was able to join him which turned out to be
fortuitous as she was far more patient than he
was and although he had found the first bottle
she actually found the two best bottles of the
day.
These are the first three found. The Redruth bottle on
the right and Holly found the other two.
Treluswell Brewery in the middle and a Truro Falmouth
Carne bottle on the left.

Steven Webb -
Mayor of Truro.
Many of you will know Stephen Webb,
City Councillor and Mayor of Truro.
He was born in Truro on December 8, 1972.
When Steven was 18 - after a diving accident -
he tragically ended up severely paralysed
from the chest downwards. (see his website
stevenwebb.com) This has not stopped him
from being an inspiration to others through
teaching mindfulness and meditation; he hosts
podcasts called, Stillness in the Storms. He
has been a city councillor since 2017 and was
re-elected Mayor of Truro for a second year in
office.
The Mayor with Past and present crew from Cornwall Air
Ambulance
Despite his disability Steven ‘whizzes about’
attending meetings, visiting organisations, and
opening events. His recent visit to the Cornwall
Air Ambulance in April to celebrate its 35th
anniversary was an inspiration for all, and
he realised that it was likely that one of the
paramedics working on site flew him to
Odstock in Salisbury thirty years earlier, in
1991. Taking to the skies in 1987, Cornwall Air
Ambulance was the first in the UK. It has now
completed more than 31,000 missions, saving
countless lives. Given the county’s isolated
beaches, rural settlements and challenging
road networks, Cornwall Air Ambulance is
considered a lifeline by residents and visitors
alike.
Steven made Mayor of Truro in May 2021
Steven was shown the new helicopter they had
recently acquired which, he noted, had a lot
more room than the one he was flown in
in 1991! Cornwall Air Ambulance is called
to over 1000 seriously sick or injured people
every year in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
When every minute counts, they can be the
difference between life and death. As a charity,
they rely on the public to fund these lifesaving
missions and to help keep the helicopter flying
and more families together. Visit website:
www.cornwallairambulancetrust.org for
fundraising ideas and ways to donate.
We wish Steven the best of luck in his 2nd
year in office and we commend him on all his
positive actions, time and energy he puts into
making Truro a great city for all.

further facilities in
surrounding areas;
• CCTV;
• Night-time economy,
including the team of Street
Pastors;
• Sports facilities, including
cricket, football, and play
facilities.
Elsewhere, we also
contribute to a number
of other services, including
Truro’s Anti-Social
Behaviour Officer.
Of course, none of our
services would run without
the team behind them.
From the friendly faces in
the library and the Visitor
Information Centre, to our
street pastors, gardeners,
toilet operatives and
countryside rangers.
Not forgetting the support
team in the Town Clerk’s
department led by the
Town Clerk, Roger
Gazzard.
Also, we are very lucky to
have Lionel Knight as
our Town Crier. This is a
ceremonial role and Lionel
and his wife Carol will
often be seen around the
city undertaking their duties.
Upcoming Projects
We are currently working
on a number of exciting
projects that will benefit
residents of Truro. One
project that we have been
working on is the Boscawen
Park project.
As part of the Truro
Towns Fund, which
was announced by the
Government in 2021, we
have now submitted a
business case for this
project.
Plans include an all-weather
pitch, which will encourage
local sports clubs to
continue to use the area.
We also hope to develop
a sport and recreation hub,
which will feature new
changing facilities, a
restaurant, a sports
studio, and state-of-the-art
equipment.
Outside, facilities will be

improved so residents can
enjoy the open space and
connect with the wildlife we
have in our city.
In July, a series of public
consultations will take place
to gather your views and
help shape plans for the
space going forward.
Elsewhere, grants from
Truro Towns Fund helped
regenerate The Moresk
Centre. Working with
Truro Churches Trust, we
renovated the building,
which is now a thriving
community hub. Rooms
are available to hire,
with features such as IT
equipment and sound
systems. Find out more at
moreskcentre.org.uk.
Upcoming Events
Of course, as we welcome
the summer season, we
are preparing for the
return of a number of
events that we have so
sorely missed throughout
the pandemic.
Bandstand Concerts every
Sunday from 8th May
to 11th September; the
Mayor’s Charity Day will
take place on Lemon Quay
on Saturday 14th May; and
the allotment and garden
competition will take place
in June.

city, and as such all members
of the public are welcome

COMMUNITY NEWS
The Big Issue
in Truro
Meet Nick, you may have seen him standing
outside Marks & Spencer in Truro, Lemon
Quay selling the Big Issue with his faithful
dog, Briony. He lives in a converted horse
box with Briony (pictured here) and his cat,
Meow.
If you haven’t spoken to him, I suggest you
do, a friendly and interesting chap with a
very kind heart, helping others to start selling
the Big Issue and keeping an eye on other
vendors who you’ll see around Truro. Stuart
and Dean in Pydar Street and Steve who
works outside Wilkinsons. He’s not ashamed
to say he had had a hard time many years
ago and found himself on the streets
homeless. Nick started selling the Big Issue
with a broken leg in London but moved
to Truro and has been here ever since and
working for the publication.
If you want to support the homeless in Truro,
Nick wanted to give a special mention to
THAG - Truro’s Homeless Action Group.
Totally run by volunteers they do not get any
funding but provide a free invaluable service
daily each morning from 7.30am to 8:30 am,
providing breakfast and a Sunday lunch for
the homeless and anyone that needs
food. They are located in St John’s Hall,
Strangways Terrace, Truro. See below for
details on how you can help THAG.
Nick works hard selling but also connecting
and helping people six days a week. The
magazine is published every Monday and the
registered vendors sell it to the public for £3.
Help him, Dean, Steve and Stuart by buying
the Big Issue regularly and let’s hope we can
find a solution to help those that are homeless
be a thing of the past.
Truro Homeless Action Group
Providing free hot cooked breakfasts to local homeless and
vulnerable people every day of the year – except Christmas
Day and Boxing Day when we cook a Christmas meal instead.
If you would like to make a donation, please contact

over some sweet peas when I was 6 years old on a visit to Truro.

DINING
Dining at The
Cornish Vegan
I cannot say that I am fully vegan but I am
more or less a vegetarian and definitely
enjoying being meat-less. When we moved
to Cornwall I was excited that Truro had a
100% vegan restaurant on our doorstep and
our first experience was so good that we
invited different sets of friends to return and
eat at The Cornish Vegan!
Owners, Rob and
Graham opened up
the restaurant and
both feel it is a great
honour to be based
in the county’s
capital, providing
their guests with
nourishing, heartwarming
and
delicious food.
Rob is the chef and
his aim is to serveup
plant based
food made with love and you can tell he does
just that. Where they can, they choose locally
and sustainably sourced products and most of
their menu is handmade.
In January this year they closed for a couple of
weeks to undertake some refurbishment of the
interior and exterior and with the opportunity
to review the place, we were delighted to find
out they also had a beautiful garden/courtyard
area seating up to 22 and housing heaters to
warm guests on cooler evenings.
When we arrived we were
greeted by Ann and her
super long eyelashes.
We had had a busy day
in the garden so were
pleased to be dining
out and we were hungry!
We viewed the menu
and there had been a
few changes but our
favourites had been kept
in thankfully. Hungrily, we
ordered some onion rings
Left to right: Rob, Ann and Graham
as an appetiser and
some water and
wine. My partner
ordered the
Mushroom Fusion
(my personal
favourite) and said
the taste had
depth and a good
amount of chili
heat, and was full
of texture with
crispy undertones.
I hadn’t tried the
Thai red curry before so opted for this which
I was delighted with. It was hot and spicy but
came with a good portion of whole grain
rice perfectly cooked. The portions are very
generous and beautifully presented and you
can guarantee your hunger will be satiated.
Don’t worry if you aren’t keen on spicy food,
there is plenty to choose from on the menu
including; Ch’ckn in a bun, Mac ’n’ sheese, f’sh
& chips and more....
Don’t forget to leave room for dessert! But if you
are full, you can always take some yummy cake
home with you for afternoon tea the next day.
The ambience is very relaxed, not overly fussy
but homely, which I think is the vibe they
wanted to create. We could also have a good
conversation without too much background
noise or loud music. We highly recommend a
visit for lunch or dinner.

St Petrocs
charity
news
St Petrocs is a charity that
has been working with
people experiencing
homelessness in Cornwall
since 1986.
They have 2 resource
centres, an outreach
team and 21 supported
accommodation schemes
across Cornwall, housing
145 residents. St Petrocs
also have a new Vocational
Development Project which
works with its residents to
help them achieve their
ambitions through a
combination of confidence
building activities and
training. The scheme aims
to make solutions for
people more sustainable so
that they don’t experience
homelessness again.
The numbers of
people experiencing
homelessness in Cornwall
are going up, so St Petrocs
has never been more
needed. In 2020 they
worked with 1,013 people
across all their services,
and in 2021 they worked
with 1,113 people, a 10%
increase.
Alarmingly, so far in 2022
they have seen a 21%
increase in the number of
people needing their help
compared to this time last
year.
The charity is completely
independent and funds
itself through its own
fundraising activities and
the support of the Cornish
community. There are many
ways people can help the
charity help those needing
its services. Volunteering,
financial donations, gifts
in kind (clothing, toiletries,
sleeping bags etc) are all
incredibly valuable to the
charity and those that
need it.
Donations can be
made on their website
www.stpetrocs.org.uk
Enquiries can be made to
their supporter care team
on 01872 260 948.

Riding For The
Disabled Chiverton
Group
RDA Chiverton (near Truro) is a pony
riding centre for children and adults with
all kinds of special needs both physical
and mental. We offer riding and carriage
driving sessions on Mondays and
Thursdays.
With a mix of tailored riding tuition
and mounted games, lessons are both
challenging and fun, a great workout and
brilliant confidence booster. With the aid of
specialist equipment and a team of trained
volunteers we give the opportunity for people
with many different special needs to be able
to access a safe environment to enjoy this
exhilarating sport. For those unable to sit on
a horse we also have the option of carriage
driving where wheelchair users can be loaded
on ramps into specially designed carriages,
and learn rein and voice commands to drive
ponies.
Horse riding can provide a valuable
physical therapy for many conditions, as
well as helping to grow confidence and a
sense of achievement. And being around
horses and ponies can help boost mental
health too.
All of this is made possible by our growing
team of volunteers who also get a great deal
out of helping. It can be an opportunity to
meet like minded people, get fit, learn new
skills and be around horses and ponies. From
meeting and greeting to side walking and
leading, tacking up and turning out to behind
the scenes admin, there are so many ways to
be involved.
Every volunteer gets all the training they need
whether they’re experienced with horses or
not.
And let’s not forget the real heroes, our 7 RDA
ponies who work so hard to keep our riders
and drivers safe to enjoy equine sports. All
our ponies also receive special training and
love the thank you pats and cuddles after their
rides.
If you would like to know more about RDA
Chiverton Group you can visit our website,
watch our video and meet our ponies.

non-touch, complementary therapy may help you. I am holding relaxed and
calm 1/2 hour sessions for those in need.
The Twin Hearts Meditation reduces stress and anxiety, increase memory,
focus and positive brain activity. Flush out negativity and achieve peace and
stillness in less than 30 minutes.
