CORRESPONDENCE Clerks & Councils Direct magazine this was circulated.

CCTV the Clerk had finally managed to contact the police officer in the Crime Commissioner’s Office who was responsible for the community CCTV scheme. He explained it depended on need and how the parish envisaged it working as to what scheme would be appropriate. For a smaller community if wished it could be installed and connected into the main system but on a record only basis. That way the information would be there available for police to view should they need to do so but people would not be bored out of their minds watching blank screens of nothing happening 24/7 in the control room. An even lower level option that they were planning was to buy several mobile cameras and target areas. These could be hired by parishes and moved about whereas once a camera was permanently installed it could not be moved to a fresh area if the crime moved elsewhere. The monthly rental for that would be £130.00. It was agreed that the recorded version sounded the most useful as the evidence would be there if required. More information on that system would be sought.

C’WLL COUNCIL It had been another busy month. The previous week Cornwall Cllr Julian Rand had attended the Cornwall Flood Forum when people were warned to expect extreme and that communities should consider preparing emergency flood plans. Manaccan did have an emergency committee already set up that was re-confirmed at each AGM in May. He had travelled to Exeter to meet DEFRA and the RPA about the Leader programme finishing and what would happen to farming payments post Brexit. He had attended a Strategic Planning meeting about a development in Camborne, but it would probably not go ahead. He had spoken with Nick Cross, the MD of Cornwall Housing, as both still had concerns over the way Coastline was handling its property portfolio in rural areas. With regards to the problem with schools funding in Cornwall; he was meeting George Eustice MP the following Friday. He, along with other Cornwall Cllr colleagues, was considering the highway salting regime and whether they were doing it where needed.

OTHER BUSINESS A sub-lease of 50% of Helford toilets site to the HRCST would be looked into with Council's solicitor.

RECEIPTS The following were paid into the bank:

Cornwall Council (Helford toilets refurbish) 12,000.00

NEXT MEETING The next meeting would be held on 28th January 2019 at 7.30pm. There being no further business, the Chairman closed the meeting at 7.49pm.
