St Ives Town Council Moanwatch

A recent contributor to Ask Ephraim asked what St Ives Town Council is for.

Ephraim, though nonplussed by the question, promised that The St Ivean would post occasional reports on the council's performance.

This week we can report no less than FOUR decisive thumbs down from the council:

NO to the Alfreso restaurant's plan for permission for an outside seating area.
NO to hanging shop signs.
NO to tree felling.
NO to the removal of a chimney by Coasters in St Andrews Street.

The council did reluctantly give a thumbs up to some tree thinning at Tregenna Castle.
