St Teath parish council met on 17th September, 9 members attended.

Anyone who is an allotment holder, or who would like to become one, is invited to the next meeting of allotment holders to be held on Monday, November 26th at Delabole in the chapel schoolroom at 6.45pm. There are currently several vacant plots and these need to be filled.
Imagine, you could be picking and eating your own homegrown produce next summer.

Parking on the corner of Pengelly continues to be a problem and on the spot fines for illegal parking are now being issued. For the sake of your licence and for the safety of pedestrians and other drivers, please think before you park.

The next meeting will be on Monday the 26th November, after the allotment holders meeting, at 7.30pm at Delabole chapel schoolroom. Members of the public are welcome and may put any points they wish to raise in the open session from 7.30pm to 7.45pm. Why not come along and get involved in the running of our villages?


Parish Chairperson Retires

Group photograph of parish councillors

The chair of St.Teath Parish Council, Mrs. Patricia Molloy, recently announced her retirement:
she has been a member of the Council for twenty-four years and has held the position of Chair since 1991.

Members of the council who have worked with  Mrs. Molloy during her last term of office,held an informal social evening on Thursday last at the Poldark Inn.
Ann Hopkins spoke for the Council and paid tribute to Tricia’s outstanding service both to the Council and to the community. She said that Tricia had conducted  the Council meetings with wisdom, diplomacy and gentleness. She had always been mindful that the parish of St Teath had two wards and she ensured that those ‘below the tree line’ in St Teath  had equal consideration to the larger community of  Delabole.

Mrs Molloy had previously led the Council in persuading the National Trust not to close the access to Tregardock Beach, negotiating  the acquisition of land for a village green in St. Teath and  recently planning the long awaited resurfacing of  the access to Delabole Cemetery , Vell Lane .

Ann made reference to Tricia’s apprenticeship: her father, Ron Thomas, had been Clerk to the Council and she had thus continued the family tradition of service to the community.

Mrs Molloy was presented with an ornamental tree, a selection of patio pots in full bloom and an indoor plant arrangement.
She thanked the councillors, saying how much she had enjoyed her terms of office, and she wished the new Council well.

District and Parish Councillor, John Lugg, said Tricia would be missed immensely.
He thanked her for her long service and wished her a happy retirement, with the opportunity to spend more time with her family.

Mrs Molloy continues to Chair the Board of Governors of Delabole School and is the Senior Steward of Delabole Methodist Church so it will not be tea and slippers just yet !

The Annual Parish meeting was held in St. Teath Community Centre on Tuesday 9th May, unfortunately only one member of the public attended. A very interest­ing meeting was held with Sally Lewis from the Rural Transport who attended to give a very informative evening.
The Monthly Parish Council meeting was held on Monday 15th May at Delabole School.
One planning application was considered and reported back to District Council.
The future Delabole meetings will be held at the Sunday School in the Methodist Chapel on the third Monday alternate months, next one being July.
Vell Lane (Cemetery Lane) is going to be resurfaced the Parish Council are just working out the legalities but this will be done sooner rather than later.

We would like to thank Jason for all his hard work in the parish and his dedication to the job. We would ask people to make his job a little easier by putting rubbish in the litter bins provided around the villages.

Your parish councillors are:
Mrs P Molloy Chairman. Mrs A Hopkins, Mrs P Hicks, Mrs S Theobald, Mr W Arnall Mr J Lugg,
Mr A Stacey, Mrs L Henderson, Mr S Sandercock, Mr E Jones, Mr T Livingstone.
We still have one vacancy for St Teath Ward - if anyone would like to come forward please contact Mrs Jayne Stark
email jaynestark@aol.com

The play equipment for Delabole will be sited in June, this equipment is for the younger children and our thanks go to Kelly and the committee for their continued fund raising events and hard work to get the funds availa­ble to purchase the equipment. The parish council have contributed towards the equipment, but we must add that the safety surfacing is almost as expensive as the equip­ment, so please respect both the surfacing and the equip­ment, so that it may be used for many years to come.

There are funds available for some new equipment for St. Teath Village Green and one request we have had is for some small goal posts. So we will try to get at least these in place for the summer.

The next meeting is to be held in St. Teath Community Centre on Monday 19th June 7.30pm.
