"Falmouth For Orders" Dredging A Deep Water Channel In Falmouth Harbour

Responsible department: Department for Energy and Climate Change

FALMOUTH FOR ORDERS CAMPAIGN We want the government to fully support the dredging of Falmouth Harbour. This will secure the future of the Ship Repair Yard, and will also bring new opportunities into the harbour i.e.;- renewable energy, cruise line business, cargo handling. It will also help Cornwall as a whole, with the Cruise liners bringing tourists to the area. And safeguarding employment, and creating opportunities for Apprenticeships in the Ship Yard.

Premier Inns Planning Application causes Controversy

Premier Inn Planning Application Causes Controversy

There is also some concern regarding the proposed planning application for a Premier Inn to be built in Falmouth. I agree with the town manager Richard Gates that the proposed injection of capital by a major multinational is to be welcomed as it shows that Falmouth is a good place to do business in. Likewise I remain concerned on the impact it will have on existing traders and businesses in the locality. If it creates much needed jobs this will be a major bonus to the community as a whole. However, this must not be at the risk of harming local businesses which will result in profits moving out of Cornwall. If as a result of, increased footfall more tourists and businessmen visit Falmouth provided local goods and services are used. It is also vitally important that the local residents opinions are canvassed,  as unlike many others Falmouth town centre is heavily populated and as such any proposed development will impact on their lives with the increased traffic noise and loss of parking spaces in the area.    
If you have any objections to the application please visit the Cornwall Council website to make your opinions known.

Chairman
