Our Parish Futures 2050

As part of OUR future plans for the parish, we're also helping Cornwall Council prepare THEIR new plan that will come in from 2028. The starting point for this is an online survey. Can you help us (and them) by taking a few minutes to answer their questions?

You don't have to give your name (or address) and you don't need to answer every question.

We'll be publishing our own parish survey in the August Informer. Look out for it and for your parish councillors at local events.
