ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Highlights of the year include:
We have continued to support two projects; one working to establish a Community Cemetery in Pendeen, the other providing the St Just Skate and improving the St Just Recreation Ground. The completion and official opening of the Skate Park is in sight, although delayed by the Pandemic and weather. Legal complications over the Land Transfer halted progress with the Community Cemetery, in terms of it starting and fund raising; Land Transfer is a pre-requisite to most large grant applications, which will be needed.
We have also continued to work with Croft Mear residents to maintain the open shared spaces, with a resident taking over the day to day maintenance tasks.
We are again looking towards providing housing to local people and early feasibility work is ongoing with Agile Properties for Modular, off site built sustainable homes, as a small pilot project in St Just. To succeed, this pilot will require Cornwall Council to transfer land to us at social rather than market value and for LiveWest to cooperate with us to allow foot and construction access over their land and to facilitate increased parking.
Financial Review
Croft Mear. We continue to manage the open space around the Croft Mear properties where the owners pay us a maintenance and administration fee. This is also to provide a contingency fund for when the access road and parking area may need attention.
Pendeen Community Cemetery sub group. Although the Pendeen Community Cemetery Project transferred to the local community centre (Centre of Pendeen) adjacent to the field for the cemetery in July 2020, a change in their committee led to the Group returning to us in October 2021, transferring £6623.57 into our Project Account.
St Just Skate and Recreation Park sub group. National Lottery and Sport England grants have been secured and will be drawn down as the Trust is invoiced; the first invoice and draw down took place at the end of our financial year.
Local Housing. A Town Council grant enabled us to commission work by Agile Properties to assess the feasibility of providing modular homes on a small Cornwall Council plot without vehicular access. Agile will also support our access to funding. This work is ongoing.
Reserves Policy. Three years ago we set up a £1000 reserve fund with some of the proceeds from the fee we received when one of the Croft Mear homes was sold. We now have £4,500 of unrestricted funds, as a reserve, primarily in case of remedial works being necessary at Croft Mear.
Priorities for the coming year:
-
Continue to work with Croft Mear residents to maintain open areas in-line with their wishes.
-
Support the St Just Skate and Recreation Park subgroup to deliver the skate park facility and then consider appropriate improvements to the wider facilities.
-
Work with Agile Properties and others to develop a plan for the delivery of modular homes for local people.
-
Listen and support other community led groups wanting to secure land or buildings for community benefit but only take on financially viable schemes.
