Residents of the Falmouth and Penryn area are invited to attend a meeting of the Falmouth & Penryn Community Network Panel next week. 

The role of the Panel includes:

Discussing current issues affecting the Community Network Area

Agreeing local priorities with a view to influencing Cornwall wide strategies

Working together to promote the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of communities

Cornwall Council is committed to giving Panel's greater control and influence and recognises that we can't solve all the issues that communities face on our own. 

The meeting takes place on Tuesday 7 May, between 7pm and 9pm, at Budock Village Hall, Budock Water, TR11 5DN.

Cornwall Councillor John Bastin, Chair of the Network Panel, said: "The Falmouth & Penryn Community Network Panel meeting is a great opportunity for residents to find out more about local issues and to have their say. We would encourage everyone to come along."

The Falmouth and Penryn Community Network Panel meets every two months to discuss matters that affect the local community and to agree priorities that can be delivered by Cornwall Council and other agencies including the police and health services. Some of the areas that community networks focus on include anti-social behaviour, economic development, the environment, community planning, regeneration, conservation, community safety, transport and highway issues.

The panel comprises all nine Cornwall Councillors for the area and representatives of the nine parishes in the Falmouth and Penryn Community Network - Budock, Constantine, Falmouth, Mabe, Mawnan, Mylor, Penryn, Perranarworthal and St Gluvias.  

More information about the Community Network Panels and dates for future meetings can be found on the Cornwall Council Community Networks webpage.
