Planning Future Cornwall - OUR Preferred Approach for a Core Strategy.
|
|
CoSERG, 2 March 2012
Preferred Approach for a Core Startegy: It is very difficult too reconcile the housing targets with the statement ‘achieve a leading position in sustainable living’. A strategy that will result in Cornwall having a population of around a million by 2100 is clearly unsustainable. Full CoSERG response (pdf 290Kb)

Time to be serious about the unemployed
|
|
CoSERGinfo, 23 February 2012
A number of news headlines and reports have highlighted the issue of rising unemployment, particularly amongst the young. The response of the Government has not exactly been helpful – a central belief in continuing austerity does not create the demand that is essential if jobs are to be created. More...

Fear that the local infrastructure would not be able to withstand a Cornwall population increase of 100,000 people
|
 Camborne Community Centre was packed on Friday 10th February evening when around 150 people attended a public meeting organised by the Trelawney Alliance group to discuss what the Alliance say is the mass house building programmes proposed for Camborne, Pool, Illogan and Redruth.
Jean Charman, Trelawney Alliance Chairman and organiser said, " We have been aware for some time that members of the public in general know very little about the recently published Core Strategy. This is because the document and the public consultation meetings have been very poorly advertised and consequently the consultations poorly attended. Whilst paying lip service to public consultation planners have not sought thoroughly enough to bring this document into the public domain. TA want to give local people the opportunity to have their say in the future development of Cornwall and in particular their area". Full press release...

With a public meeting coming up on Friday evening, we thought it would be useful to look at the Camborne-Redruth area in some detail.
The proposals for the Camborne-Redruth area give a target for the whole
Community Network Area of 7,000 dwellings, 6,500 in the urban area and 500 elsewhere. With an estimated 26,700 dwellings that’s an increase of 26% in twenty years. In fact in the ‘urban’ area, the increase equals 30% over twenty years!

The rotten core of the Core Strategy: unsustainable population growth
|
|
We’re familiar with corporate politicians, who talk one way and walk completely differently. There are those at the top who parrot about ‘fairness’ while putting the boot in on the disabled and the homeless yet moving at a snail’s pace to curb the greed of the super-rich. ...more
