Thank you to whoever decided to remove one of our lovely Palm trees at the recently renovated and planted beds in Jubilee Circle. We are unsure if this was anti-social behaviour or if it has been stolen for re-planting. The Town Council do not enjoy posting negative things but occasionally we are left with no choice due to the actions of inconsiderate people.

It is very disappointing as the feedback on these beds has been greatly received by our Parks team who spend lots of time making this a lovely area for all to enjoy.   The trees were also very kindly donated to us by an ex Councillor (and Wadebridge resident).  Whoever took the palm tree also enjoyed pulling out and destroying the lovely begonias too – perhaps you need some gardening advice to understand that time and effort that others spend making our parks so nice rather than just ruining it with your thoughtless actions.

This has been reported to 101 and hopefully the CCTV in the lower car park catches the culprits.  we will update this post with the crime reference number as soon as it’s been provided in case anyone has any information.

The grass cutting of this section in the cemetery has been a contentious issue for many years. 

As previously advised by the Town Council, this section of the cemetery was officially closed, and due process followed with the maintenance and upkeep being transferred ultimately to North Cornwall District Council (NCDC).  Documentation shows that NCDC confirmed authority as from 5 April 1988.  It has always been the Town Council’s understanding that Cornwall Council, as the unitary authority for Cornwall, has responsibility for the services previously provided by the District Councils.  Town Councillors and staff of the Town Council are very much aware of the distress that the grass cutting issues have caused, and continue to cause, to those visiting their loved ones in this area due to Cornwall Council's position that they were not responsible for the maintenance of this area.  The Town Council have continued to pursue this matter with Cornwall Council and after the consideration of documentation presented to them, Cornwall Council agree that they are responsible for the maintenance of this area.  

As Cornwall Council now accept this part of the cemetery is their responsibility the Clerk will be meeting with them shortly to discuss how best to approach the immediate maintenance required and going into the future.  We hope to see an improvement in the area very soon.
