Proposed motion: Newquay Town Council believes that the way Cornwall is governed is extremely important to our local residents. We note proposals for a possible change to a powerful Mayor of Cornwall with their own staff, budget and choice of Cabinet. We believe that such a system should only be implemented Only if the people of Cornwall support it. We call on Cornwall Council and our local Cornwall Councillors, to ensure that there is a referendum of all voters in Cornwall on whether to introduce this significant change, as set out in the relevant legislation.

Proposed Motion: I propose that I, Cllr Drew Creek fill the vacant seat on HR committee which had been left by the resignation of a previous conservative Cllr. This particular committee is currently made up of only Conservative voting members, this does not reflect the makeup of the council given the greens and other parties and independents hold 13 of the current 19 seats.

Proposer: Cllr Creek
Seconder: Cllr North
