www.communityenterprisespl12.co.uk 4 Fore Street, Saltash PL12 6JL Report to Saltash Town Council: January 11 2018 Our news this month: 18 Belle Vue Road The recent refurbishment work has been completed. The building looks much better from the outside, and the working environment on the upper floors is much improved. I would be delighted to arrange for Council members to have a look over. We now have a vacant room, because Groundwork has decided to base its operations in Liskeard. It was good to have an innovative voluntary body based there during our initial two years of managing the building, and we are sorry to lose them. We will be delighted to hear of any similar organisation or private business who might benefit from accommodation there.

On the horizon too are the possible local consequences of funding cuts for Citizens Advice Cornwall. I do hope that we can work creatively with Saltash Town Council to keep a local call point at Belle Vue, whatever happens countywide. Community Transport Directors have agreed a Business Plan for Community Transport to take us over the next two years. Demand has been very high in the last two months - the buses did 81 trips in the month of November alone. We are now also working with Waitrose to provide a bus service from Torpoint and outlying areas into the town; and we are doing the practical management of the local Age Concern bus. The Hub at 4 Fore Street is the lynch-pin of all this increased activity. We have a dedicated team of volunteers and volunteer drivers, providing a responsive community service. The immediate hurdle is a review of the Derriford service at our next meeting. The Transport team is trying to keep it going but the service continues to be loss-making despite the subsidy we receive from Cornwall Council, and the financial benefits of our recent VAT registration. Thoughts and ideas welcome from the Town Council. Health and Care I would just like to mention that we are about to enter a key period of discussion about the future of health and social care locally. The key questions for us, as ever, will be: 1. When and how are the lost beds from St Barnabas going to be reprovided in the

town? 2. When will the Surgeries be financed to provide an enhanced Minor Injuries service? Cornwall Council, Kernow Commissioning Group and all NHS Providers are about to start trialling an Accountable Care System, aiming for a radical fully integrated service - which is desirable. The detail of this has been worked out without formal public consultation, and the basic idea has been subject to criticism and occasional protest demonstrations by people who see it as a stealthy prelude to privatisation. We are bound to hear more on this. Watch out too for a second round of public consultations on the long term plan for NHS Care in Cornwall, after the debacle of last year’s STP. Other Enterprises and Activities We had a very busy Christmas period all round, including an evening meal out for all our many volunteers which went very well and was greatly appreciated. Things are ticking over elsewhere, and we are trying to have our Hub at 4 Fore Street open six days a week for 4 hours or more. We are still working on updating our administration.

-----Original Message----- From: Matthew Coot [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 5, 2018 1:07 AM To: [email protected]; Townclerk <[email protected]>; enquiries <[email protected]> Subject: Reference: CCN002/17/18 - Breach of Code Action Required Dear Sir/Madam, It is with regret and frustration that I write this email. As of 5th January 2018, I have not received a written apology as required from the findings of a complaint which was assessed on 16th August 2017. The reference for this complaint is CCN002/17/18 and the complaint was against Cllr John Brady of Saltash Town Council. Please can you advise what can happen from here? This behaviour, which the complaint was about, was one of the reasons that I felt unable to continue in my role as a town councillor and I fear this type of behaviour is continuing - especially after reading in the press recently about the pressure Cllr Brady is putting the mayor under despite the mayor following the actions required of her when she was found to have broken the code. I am sending this to both the Standards Committee (Cornwall Council) and to the Town Clerk of Saltash Town Council to ensure that this cannot be brushed aside. Town Clerk, please ensure that this communique is read out at the next available Full Council Meeting so that all councillors and members of public/press are aware of this disappointing situation. Yours sincerely, Matthew Coot
