Some Cornish news

  This year, the unitary authority of Cornwall council ran a consultation in regards to car parks managed by the authority. This consultation was designed to allow for members of the general public to comment on proposed tariff changes for the car parks. Now this consultation has ended, we now have the results and the decisions of the council.     The new tariffs will begin their usage at the end of may. Many car parks with change their “Zone” which will change their price based on.  An example of this can be the Castle green car park having it’s zone changed to “c”, or Riverbank and Killmorth car parks moving to “B” in summer but the cheaper “c” in the winter. Many prices of have decreased, for example Zone A prices have decreased by 50% and Zone B have decreased in price also. In addition to these zone changes, the Council have confirmed that Blue Badge users can still use the Cornwall Council car parks for free. 

  There are many forms of neglect. From economic - where a person’s money is misused by another - all the way to human trafficking and slavery. Often when someone is concerned about the well-being of an individual, they may not know the best steps to take. Safeguarding is of course the task, but many outside the health and social care fields may not be sure how to report their concerns.   Cornwall Council has launched a new method to complete this task. The council has created a simple safeguarding form that you can complete on their website. Once filled out this will notify the social care team and the appropriate investigations and steps can be taken. When filling out this form, it is important to fill out as much information as possible. Members of the public are still able to call the Council to report their concerns in addition to this form. Safeguarding concerns can appear anywhere. It may be sighted by a carer or a family member. It might be caused by a carer or family member. E
