Civility & Respect Pledge

At the Full Council meeting on 26th September, the members of Helston Town Council unanimously agreed that HTC should take the Civility and Respect Pledge.

The Civility and Respect Pledge is an initiative started by the National Association of Local Councils, working with partner organisations, to put civility and respect at the top of the agenda and start a culture change for the local council sector. Throughout the sector there are growing concerns about the impact of bullying, harassment, and intimidation on local councils, councillors, clerks and council staff.

Helston Town Council has signed the pledge to show its commitment to standing up to poor behaviour across the sector and its support for positive changes in relation to this issue.

A message from the Mayor

 

Hopefully everyone had an enjoyable Christmas holiday and has adjusted to all the excitement of entering the new year.

Obviously, everyone who has been involved with submitting the Levelling Up Fund application on behalf of Helston is bitterly disappointed at the news we received. The bid made it onto the shortlist, meeting all the necessary criteria, yet we were not selected. I wish to thank all the team who undertook thousands of hours work to enable the bid to go forward. The team are already working hard to find alternative funding streams to deliver some of these projects for the people of Helston.

We have an exciting year ahead of us. I look forward to a busy bank holiday period where the Coronation events will follow on from Flora Day. The planning for events in the town is underway along with preparation for our St. Pirans day events in March.

The Town Council is working with the Environment Agency to complete Helston’s specific flood plan. We are still in need of volunteer flood wardens who live or can easily get to the most likely areas to be affected, St Johns Road, Porthleven Road and Manor Way. This does not involve working through flood water or climbing into buildings. If you would like to learn more please contact us at the Guildhall.

In the meantime, can I wish everyone a belated Happy New Year and I look forward to seeing the town blossom throughout Spring!
