I also call residents to send us any ideas for small infrastructure improvements as we are discussing budget at this time of the year and how to spend CIL funds. I am currently pushing for secure bike storage, pavement parking enforct and maintenance for pedestrian paths.

This is only the start of this update process and we will call on the community to participate further. I plan to propose that Penryn TC updates its own Neighbourhood plan (now called Priority Statements) to have a voice of its own in this process.
