Fore Street Rank meeting Weds 13th Sept 2017

Mark Formosa and I attended this meeting with Chris Matta, Julie Flower, 2 representatives from highways, Jez Bayes from ‘Public Health’ (the source of this issue) and Sgt Honeywill from Newquay Police. Please first take a moment to read the report from Jez Bayes on this matter here. We put across the impracticalities of the suggestions within the report, and strongly pointed out that at no time was there any mention within the report of our safety, and also pointed out that it really comes down to lack of Police presence. However, the Police are short staffed and that does not appear to be changing in the near future, but the conclusion regarding the rank at Fore Street is to proceed to consultation with a view to ‘extending’ the current rank toward the Alma Place junction by 25-30 metres, which could translate into an additional 5-6 bays. It was also discussed as to the possibility of ‘Town Marshalls’, we’ll have to wait and see, but for now and all being well, Fore Street rank will remain in place?!
