“Over the past few weeks we have been very busy at City Council. Most of our time we have tried to sort out the terrible situation that GLL and Cornwall Council have put us in.

GLL had four years to deal with the problem with managing Ships and Castles and we had six weeks to find a solution or lose our leisure services, that’s not fair, don’t you think?

“We held two town halls and collected over 1,600 surveys to hear from our residents. All of this was fueled by the findings of the City Council routes sent to Cornwall Council.

Falmouth Mayor Steve Eva:

I witnessed the plaque unveiling for Robert Were Fox, a famous inventor of the 1800s and inventor of the plunging needle to help ships navigate the world.

I witnessed the making of the mayor of the new mayor of St Austell. A most enjoyable night and best wishes to Richard Pears the new mayor, of course, Covid has ended a lot of events this year and last year and has been nice to catch up with the old faces.

Friday the 22nd I was at the Trafalgar Night celebration at the Greenbank Hotel, enjoying some great food, company, and some great speeches.

I held a special meeting on Monday 25 to gather and decide on the City Council’s response to all resident comments received regarding ships and castles.

On Thursday 28th I was invited to lay a wreath on behalf of the people of Falmouth to commemorate the 100 years of the British Legion at Trebah Gardens which of course played a large part in the start of the Normandy landings during WWII.

Several meetings on the future of Falmouth are taking place behind the scenes and hopefully will need a brighter future for the town.

Saturday morning saw the pose of the first poppy which marks the beginning of remembrance a time to reflect on the sacrifice so many have gone through so that we can enjoy our freedom now and we should never forget those we have lost and a reminder That Remembrance Sunday November 14th will see the city service at Kimberley Park at 11am there will be a parade from The Moor at 10:35 am assembled at the park at 10:45 am.

Although there was a service last year, Covid derailed the parade.

Covid is always with us, please hide entrances to buildings and respect other people’s space. ”

Deputy Mayor Kirstie Edwards

First of all, our apologies for our failure to report in recent weeks. Everything has been put on the bridge in the fight to save ships and castles.

For me, it was my first exercise in facilitating public meetings and real diplomacy! As many of you know, I’m pretty straightforward and I have strong opinions – I also have a long history of public protest and being passionate about many issues.

Obviously in my new role I must always be aware of the diversity of opinion within our board and our community – I should never speak for the community or the board without a mandate to do so.

This can make things tricky of course, but it also allows me to challenge my own ideas and opinions to make sure they are valid and representative of our people.

It was amazing to have such a varied and insightful engagement from our community – I learned a lot and was amazed along the way by the strength of opinion.

I can now understand the challenge of public roles a bit more – you are elected to represent the people and make sure their voice is heard, but you also have to obey the rules and regulations of the office. To that end, I will briefly refer to our letter to our MP regarding the sewage overflow.

I will always emphasize kindness and compassion – we as humans may have different opinions and be passionate about the topic at hand, but we all have a duty to ensure that everyone in our community feel safe and that this difference of opinion does not. spill over into hatred and abuse.

We are 16 advisers – we are diverse in origin, politics, age, gender and opinion – as we should be. These differences bring real debate and representation to the table and ensure that the many voices in our community are heard.

I am very grateful to my colleagues for their advice, questions, respect and support. It has been wonderful to see everyone come together on ships and castles and to see the voice of the community being heard loud and clear on the issues that matter to you.

We were also able to visit young people at King Charles and Falmouth Schools – to give out awards, talk about what a board does and how we can all play our part and do something important, no matter how small. that we sometimes felt. Yes, even me! It is such a pleasure to have the opportunity to become so involved in our community and to answer questions from our young residents.

It was also an honor to lay a poppy cross at my first official commemorative event on Saturday morning and to meet real heroes from our community. This role is incredibly varied and rewarding and I continue to be grateful to be able to represent our city at such events.
