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.

The next scheduled Full Council meeting will take place on Wednesday 05 April 2023 at 7pm in the Council Chamber, Municipal Offices, Marcus Hill, Newquay.
