Monthly Report from Cornwall Councillor Chris Batters:- Cornwall Councillor C. Batters reported as follows as per email circulated:-

1. Noisy/Nuisance Neighbour Issue at Lamorrick - He has been in discussion with certain people locally. Sarah Dunden of Cornwall Council has insufficient details to take forward. Hopefully if he gets elected on the 6^th May he would arrange a meeting with parish council, senior police office and residents to try to sort the problem out. It could escalate and someone could get hurt in the future which is a great concern. Councillor A. Barnaby had concerns that this cannot really continue until the 6^th May 2021. He regularly hears abuse and loud blaring music. He is concerned that local people are going to take into their own hands soon. This person is just a liability. He also has concerns about this person even parking his car on other people’s property and issues this could cause. Cornwall Councillor C. Batters appreciates all these comments but advised this situation is not easy to deal with. Chairman will visit Councillor A. Barnaby to establish where this person lives as he has been receiving a lot of emails recently, he would attend as a dispassionate attendee.

2. Lady at Rectory Road had considerable trouble getting her waste bins collected. He has arranged re-collection under assisted collection scheme.

3. Roots of Trees in Woodland View needs to be reviewed as it appears no-one owns it.

4. He said it has been a pleasure working with the Parish Council for over the years and can only hope he would be able to continue.

Chairman thanked Cornwall Councillor C. Batters for his monthly report.
