The Parish Council met on Tuesday, 6th February and the meeting was attended by 8 Councillors and 9 members of the public. In the public session at the beginning of the meeting, local residents raised their concerns in relation to the proposed development of the disused garage at Longstone and the site adjacent to the busy road and dangerous junction. Residents also requested that a "dog bin" be situated in this area of the parish.
The Parish Council considered 4 planning applications and agreed to request a site meeting for the Longstone Garage application. Monthly accounts were approved and the Parish Council agreed to support the applications for grant funding being submitted by the Playing Field Committee to develop the old tennis courts into an all weather court area for the under 5s and 12-16 year olds. The two parish bus shelters will be re-painted over the next few weeks.
The next meeting will be the Annual Parish Meeting followed by a Parish Council Meeting and will be held in the St Mabyn Memorial Hall on Tuesday, 6th March 2007 at 7.30pm. The Annual. Parish Meeting is open to parishioners and everyone is cordially invited to attend.

The Parish Council met in December and welcomed newly elected councillor Barry Kent. A parishioner raised the issue of the muddy surface to a public right of way and the evidence of electric fence wire; the landowner will be contacted.
The minutes of the previous meeting were confirmed and three planning applications were supported. Accounts received were presented for payment and approved. The Council set the precept for the 2007/08 year with a slight increase from the previous year.
The Playing Field committee continue to obtain quotations for the development of a toddler play area and hard surface for basketball/football. Thanks are expressed to Mrs Angela Brown for her dedication, advice and input into this project.
The Parish Council have contacted the County Council requesting that safety measures are increased along the section of the B3266 at Longstone junction.
The January meeting was cancelled so the next meeting will now be held on Tuesday 6th February at 7.30pm in the Memorial Hall. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
