d) Boundary Review Update

It was reported that CC had engaged CALC to guide town and parish councils through the
process for the potential programme of community governance reviews. CALC’s annual
conference on 16 February would address the issue. It was noted that it was only a matter of
registering an interest in a review, and there would be further opportunities to review HTC’s
position.

Some councillors were worried about the new CC divisions of Hayle West with five town
councillors and Gwinear-Gwithian (GG) and Hayle East with ten town councillors. It was
noted that at an earlier full council meeting it had been resolved to invite a CC officer to attend
a meeting to give advice regarding a parish review and how changes could be made to the
warding arrangements; this continued to be important to give members an understanding of
what would be possible to review and if a review would be to the town council’s advantage or
not.

It was, however, also noted that CC officers might not be able to attend an HTC meeting as
there would potentially be more than 200 town and parish councils wanting such input and it
was suggested that the CALC workshops had been set up to avoid such attendance at individual
town and parish council meetings.

It was reported that a few residents of Angarrack had expressed a desire to redraw the boundary
so that the village would be included along with Connor Downs in the GG parish, but when
informed of the fact that GG had no grant scheme and they would get no money from them
their desire to change the boundary was somewhat tempered.

It was agreed that members still wanted to invite a CC officer to an informal meeting of as
many councillors as possible to discuss the implications for HTC and to delay responding to
the email of 24 December 2018 until as close to the 8 February 2019 deadline as possible and
for the subject to be included on the agendas for the next two council meetings.
