Cornwall Cllr Grant for Grit (Feb 2011)

The Parish Council is delighted to report that they have been successful in their application to Cllr Jim Flashman for the Cornwall Councillor Community Grant. Each Cornwall Councillor has £2,195 to put towards schemes that contribute to the Council’s priorities.

The Parish Council had applied for £500 to pay for a supply of grit for the parish as part of an initiative called ‘Keeping the Community Mobile and Safe’. The Parish Council will also be working up an action plan on how to distribute the grit when the need arises.

Although the Parish Council doesn’t have the resources of Cornwall Council Highways, it looks to try and help, as much as it practically can, reduce the impact of snow and icy roads in the parish.
