In the run up to Christmas and new year it is more important than ever to follow the rules in Cornwall.
There was good news recently – we're in the lowest tier of restrictions and early progress is being made with the vaccine roll-out.

Improvements to the car park surface will soon be undertaken at the car park. This year Hayle Harbour Company has donated the gravel and will assist with the work. Thank you.
When the work has been completed a car parking meter will be installed and users will be required to pay to park between the hours of 10.00am and 6.00pm. People using the Swimming Pool facilities will be able to claim their payment back and the carpark will be free to everyone after 6.00pm daily. The fee for the first hour will be 50p. The ‘No Overnight Parking’ rule will still apply.
