The TaWRA Open Forum on June 17th was a chance for residents to meet representatives of various working sections of the community - the RNLI, the Beach Ranger Service, the Community Police, representatives of the Church, and local councillors. This was an opportunity to put faces to organizations and to forge more direct lines of communication. It was also a chance to brainstorm ideas for improving village life and to demonstrate that the village has a pulse and is developing new ways to disseminate information - not only to permanent residents, but also to second-home owners.
There are now two transport surveys (under 60s and over 60s) which are a PATCAG (Padstow and Trevone Community Action Group) initiative available in the village and we hope that there may be a shuttle service between Padstow and the outlying villages as a result. Residents were able to make suggestions to TaWRA committee members about future developments and concerns and we will be processing any other ideas left in the suggestions box as soon as possible.Bobby Renaud from the RNLI updated the village on lifeguard cover, and Steve Latham (Beach Ranger) gave a short presentation about litter and beach safety. Fortunately Trevone beach is, for the most part, frequented by responsible people who take all their litter home with them.A date for the diary:The PATCAG AGM is at Padstow School at 7.30 on Wednesday 24th June. All welcome.
