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.

To discuss and make any decisions or recommendations in relation to general Town Parking issues to include changes to transport infrastructure, car parks and on street parking.

To resolve that pursuant to Section 1(2) of the Public Bodies (Admission to meetings) Act 1960 the public and press leave the meeting because of the confidential nature of the business to be transacted.

Proposal:

To discuss and decide on the issuing of a formal statement from Newquay Town Council, regarding an article printed by the Newquay Voice, in which the Mayor and Clerk were named and publicly criticised. Both now wish to exercise right of reply, through an official statement issued by the authority after due consideration by Full Council.

Proposed: Cllr Towill
Seconded: Cllr Hannan
