I enjoyed going to the Cornwall conference at Bodmin at the weekend. With a new unitary council scheduled it is important to start looking at Cornwall's future and priorities. We had some very stimulating debates on environment, housing, and the structure of delivering services in Cornwall. The latter item doesn't sound very inspiring but unless the structures are right we won't get the delivery.
I chaired a meeting on affordable housing. Kate Tregunna from Cornwall needs Affordable housing was also on the panel. I liked her comment that really the words 'second home' are wrong. A second home is really an accessory. Like a 4x4. She works full-time at Treliske doing an essential job but cannot even register for 'affordable housing' as she doesn't earn enough!
