PEOPLE in the Camelford area can learn about plans to improve local air quality and proposals to transform health and care in Cornwall at the Community Network Panel meeting on Tuesday, December 13, in Camelford Hall.

Eloise Travis from Cornwall Council’s Public Protection team will provide an update on the latest air quality monitoring results for Camelford and the recent public consultation on declaring the town an ‘Air Quality Management Area’.

Representatives from leading health and social care organisations will brief the panel on the draft sustainability and transformation plan — a five year plan to improve local health and wellbeing, the quality of services and financial stability.

There will be an opportunity to discuss the draft plans, share views and help shape the proposals. Full details on the proposals and engagement opportunities are available at www.cornwall.gov.uk/shapethefuture

Cornwall Councillor Rob Rotchell, chair of Camelford Community Network Panel, said: “This is a good opportunity to come along and find out more about some of the big issues for Camelford and for Cornwall. We know that Camelford will need to be designated as an Air Quality Management Area and once that happens we can look at an action plan to improve the town’s air quality, which could include some of the suggestions people put forward in the recent consultation.

“We also know that there are big changes planned for local health and care services, and this meeting gives people a chance to find out about what’s proposed and have their say.”

Camelford Community Network Panel meets quarterly to discuss matters that affect the local area and to agree priorities that can be delivered by Cornwall Council and partners such as the police and health services. Some of the areas that community networks focus on include anti-social behaviour, economic development, the environment, community planning, regeneration, conservation, community safety, transport and highway issues.

Camelford Community Network Panel includes the Cornwall Councillors for the area and representatives of the following parishes: Advent, Camelford, Davidstow, Forrabury and Minster, Lesnewth, Michaelstow, Otterham, St Breward, St Clether, St Juliot, St Teath, Tintagel, Tremaine, Treneglos, Tresmeer, Trevalga and Warbstow.

The meeting takes place on Tuesday, December 13, from 7pm to 9pm in the committee room, Camelford Hall, Clease Road.
