ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Highlights of the year include:
We have continued to support three projects: towards establishing a Community Cemetery in Pendeen; providing a Skate Park in St Just and working towards improving the wider St Just Recreation Ground; providing sustainable homes for local people. The Land Transfer in Pendeen, for the community cemetery is now complete. The Skate Park opened on 10 July 2022. Progress is being made with Agile Properties, Cornwall Council’s Affordable Housing Team and LiveWest to enable surveys to be undertaken for a future planning application to be submitted.
We have continued to work with Croft Mear residents to maintain the shared open spaces and a resident taking over the day to day maintenance tasks has been helpful and much appreciated.
Financial Review
Croft Mear. We continue to own and manage the open space around the Croft Mear properties where the owners (including Cornwall Council) pay us to manage the area. We are also working towards a £10,000 contingency fund for when the access road and parking area may need attention.
Pendeen Community Cemetery sub group. Now the Land with Planning Consent for a community Cemetery is in our ownership, grant applications can be made to secure the necessary funds to open the cemetery and meet Pre-Planning Conditions.
St Just Skate and Recreation Park sub group. National Lottery and Sport England grants, along with local donations, have been used to complete the building of the Skate Park in St Just. Some funds have enabled on-going coaching sessions.
Local Housing. The Town Council grant obtained in the previous financial year enabled us to commission work by Agile Properties that has established the feasibility of providing 3 modular homes on a Cornwall Council plot in Lafrowda Close, St Just. Further grants are pending towards surveys necessary to progress towards submitting a planning application.
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 £5,000 of unrestricted funds, as a reserve, primarily for any works necessary to maintain the access road and parking area 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 manage the skate park facility and apply for grants to improve the wider facilities.
-
Work with Agile Properties, Cornwall Council, LiveWest and local people to submit a planning application for 3 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.
