Today Wadebridge Town Council said farewell to Jenny Curtis who retires from her role as Town Hall cleaner after 18 years. 🌸

Jenny has been a joy to work with and an absolute breath of fresh air as she carried out her role effortlessly and with her contagious humour. We will all miss her but send her our best wishes as she sets off on new adventures with her husband Rob. 🏵️

Farewell Jenny - it has been a pleasure.🫶

Wadebridge Mayor & Mayoress, Cllr Ian Welch and Gill Welch were delighted to visit local parishioner Mary on her 100th birthday. They took a lovely bouquet for Mary and to mark such a wonderful and special birthday.🎈

A small celebration was held at Mary’s home with friends and family popping in throughout the day including Mary’s only nephew Steve who is pictured here with the birthday girl herself and the Mayor.🎂

Long time friend Gaynor undertook all of the arrangements and had contacted the town council to see if the Mayor could attend - Ian and Gill would like to thank her for this invitation giving them the opportunity to meet Mary – Gaynor is also pictured here with Mary and the Mayor.

Happy Birthday 100th Mary.🍾

The Town Council are disappointed that they were unable to acquire the woodlands at Trenant Vale in Wadebridge which were sold yesterday.  After several weeks of negotiation and making a bid prior to auction (which was rejected by the seller) the woodland area was sold at auction in London yesterday for £24k.  There were also further costs of £4.5k in addition to the purchase price.  You may recall that the woodland has been subject to previous planning applications for 9 dwellings.  Planning permission was refused by Cornwall Council and the owner then took this to appeal where the original decision to refuse was upheld by the Planning Inspectorate.

We had informed the auctioneers that the way in which the current sale of the woodlands was being promoted was disingenuous as it was still being suggested that it could be split into 9 building plots.  If you recall the reason for the refusal of planning permission at this site was that:

The site comprises part of a green, vegetated, undeveloped, broad leaf woodland, which forms an important part of the wider sylvan character in this part of Wadebridge. The site represents a green wedge between the St Matthews Hill residential estate and the housing estate of West Park and makes a significant contribution to the visual quality and amenity of the town. The proposed development of the site would result in the direct loss of further woodland, the removal of hedgerows and the loss of undeveloped green infrastructure and would materially harm the character and appearance of the area. 

Links to the REFUSED planning applications are shown below as is the link to the Planning Inspectorate decision.

PA17/08484 - PA17/08484 | Outline Application with all matters reserved for proposed residential development of up to 9 dwellings (resubmission of PA17/02074) | Land South West Of Trenant Mill Trenant Vale Wadebridge PL27 6UJ (cornwall.gov.uk)

Planning Inspectorate Refusal - Heading 9 (cornwall.gov.uk)

We wish the new owners’ good luck with their purchase.  We trust that they will protect and preserve this green corridor which is bursting with flora, fauna and wildlife for future generations to come and ensure that the safe access which our community has enjoyed for so many years is maintained.  Green space in our town has never been so important.
