Recycling Banks

Chacewater Parish Council has received a letter from Charlie David, Strategic Waste and Landscape Manager, Environment, Planning & Economy, Cornwall Council informing us that the recycling banks in the car park will be removed before the end of March.

Although these are well used it is believed that, as the whole parish benefits from roadside collections, it is not necessary to spend extra Council Tax payers’ money on these bins.  We would suggest that those who still prefer to take their recycling to bins should start to get used to taking this to bins at supermarkets.  Note: the clothing bin will not be removed.

One advantage of having the recycling bins moved away from the car park is that we will have more desperately needed car parking spaces.  You will note that we had thee spaces marked out when the car park was resurfaced.

Is This Bus Shelter Needed?

Last year Chacewater Parish Council was asked about a bus shelter at Cox Hill.  Our first task was to obtain quotations, as without these we would not be able to apply for a grant.  The quotations were finally received so we could then go ahead with the grant application.  This also turned out to be a lengthy operation as we had to obtain the approval of County Highways, and then get the landowner’s permission for the erection of a bus shelter.  We have now been informed that a grant has been approved, but we do not know what proportion of the cost will be granted to us.

During discussion it was mentioned that a previous article in What’s On generated no interest in having the bus shelter, and also that the cost would be approximately one third of our precept.  As this is tax payer’s money, it was agreed to place an article in the next issue of What’s On to ascertain if there is sufficient interest for us to go ahead with this project.

If you think it is, please contact the Parish Clerk, Mrs Glenys Johns, Kerling Farm, Chacewater Hill, Chacewater, TR4 8QE
