The ParishManaccan parish is one of four parishes bordering the southern bank of the Helford River. Manaccan sits within a natural amphitheatre in the landscape in a peaceful and sheltered part of the Lizard Peninsula and is a designated area of natural beauty. In the �800s Manaccan parish consisted of the hamlets of Helford, High Lanes, Churchtown and Carne with several isolated farms. Today Helford and Manaccan Churchtown have grown into small villages each with its own shop and Post Office, and village pub. The Church and School are in Manaccan and the Methodist Chapel is at High Lanes. The church is famous for the ancient fig tree growing out of the tower wall and local superstition insists that the tree should not be harmed or it will bring bad luck to the village.

The parish attracts many summer visitors, particularly walkers and boating people. The number of small farms has been greatly reduced and much of the land is now being used for the growing of spring flowers.

Helford is a picturesque village of quaint cottages nestling around the creek. The village is on the coastal footpath offering access to a number of breathtaking walks. In the �8th century, Helford’s small harbour exported tin from the nearby mines to London; now it is popular with yachtsmen and anglers and has its own small fishing fleet.

St Anthony parish has a delightful church and wonderful coastal scenery. Gillan, which lies to the south of Carne creek, has the main share of the population.

This Parish Plan aims to set out a vision for this community to guide its future development. All community projects need to demonstrate that they cater for local need and that they will be used by the local community. The Parish Plan will serve as a stepping stone towards meeting these needs.

Everyone in the Parish had the chance to contribute towards this plan; first by attending a planning event held on Saturday, 10th July 2004, called ‘Have Your Say Day’. On the day a 3D model of the four villages of Manaccan, St Anthony, Gillan and Helford made by the children of Manaccan School was on display, giving everyone a bird’s eye view of their neighbourhood. Displayed alongside the models were sets of pictorial colour coded suggestion cards, and blanks for people’s own ideas. Local residents were asked to browse through these cards, select those covering issues that were important to them and to place them on the model. At the end of the event it was clear to everyone present – because of the dominance of a particular colour and/or the sheer volume of cards placed down in a particular location – what the most important issues were and the areas causing the most concern. All suggestions placed on the model were recorded and the main issues raised were presented to the community at a second event, a Prioritisation Day held on January 15th 2005. Local residents were given eight sticky dots to stick on the issues they felt most strongly about.

This plan is a result of this consultation with the community. It provides an action plan as to how this vision of the future might be achieved. This document can be used to lobby other authorities that affect the parish and can also be used as a tool to assist with grant applications for funding. Communities are about people, not places. It is about those of us who live and work in this community caring about the area and about the people in it.

The Parish Plan Steering Group is extremely grateful to everyone who has taken part in this process. Your contribution has been vital.

HousingVision… Limited housing development ensuring that houses that are built provide affordable accommodation for local people.

The development of affordable homes for local people is of key importance to the parish, starter homes for the young people in the community being a main priority. Affordable housing is, however, likely to require a volume of market housing to help fund its development, which many residents are not in favour of. Economies of scale may be achieved through joint working with neighbouring parishes which could help solve this problem. The Parish would also like to see a limit on second homes in the area.

Kerrier District Council’s Local Plan 1996-2011 defines Manaccan as a village where housing development is permitted. However, the area is marked as an Infill Limitation Housing Policy Area to help protect the area from becoming over developed and therefore preserving the open nature of the village.

Actions to be TakenMonitor the need for low cost housing of all tenures via the district and local needs housing surveys.Set up working party to investigate potential sites and form working relationships with housing providers. Parish Council to work with District Council to ensure number of new properties limited and in keeping with area.Infrastructure will need to be considered if housing development is to proceed, such as sewage system, local facilities and drainage.

Community FacilitiesVision… Improved community facilities through support and development of post office/shop and village hall facilities.

The most important issue for the vast majority of residents in the Parish was to keep the shops/post offices in both Manaccan and Helford. The Village Retail Services Association (ViRSA) are a good point of information and advice for such businesses if required. In regard community facilities the village hall and school may both be possible venues for learning/training and recreational classes. The need for improvements to the Helford Jetty was another issue that many residents felt strongly about.

Actions to be TakenParish Council to liaise with shop/post office owners to look into opportunities for developing their business e.g. extending range of products and/or services. Promote and publicise post office & shop services within the parish.Establish links to community groups and organisations within the parish.Liaise with head teacher of school to make initial enquiries regarding possible use of the school premises for other activities, such as training and adult education.Conduct an audit of community facilities and consider the costs involved to repair, improve & equip the current hall. Village Hall and other local relevant committees to work in partnership to develop community facilities as requested by residents, through on going consultation.Consider what other services could be offered in a improved community hall (using data from event) to make it more sustainable, for example internet café, leisure activities. Seek funding & advice, and enlist the help of possible partners who might provide the services required.Liaise with the owner of the Helford Ferry, Cadgwith, Helford and District Fisherman’s Society and community to further determine the improvements required to the Helford Jetty.

There is concern within the parish about the need to slow traffic down and for improvements to road surfaces. Road safety has been identified as one of Cornwall’s transport priorities. A comprehensive road safety strategy is currently being written and is to be included in the next Local Transport Plan 200� to 20��. The target of potential Local Transport Plan funding will depend on areas that are of the greatest strategic level of priority for the County as a whole.

The Local Transport Plan key objectives for the next five years will be to improve access to key services and facilities, improve road safety for all who travel in Cornwall, reduce the growth of traffic congestion and transport related air pollution, provide and maintain an integrated transport network that contributes towards the development of a vibrant and successful Cornish economy, and reduce the impact of transport on Cornwall’s natural and built environment

Fear of crime is not seen as a major issue within the parish, so the main actions need to relate to retaining people’s feeling of safety and being proactive in parish initiatives.. Devon & Cornwall Constabulary are proactively working, in partnership with a range of agencies and public sector organisations, to help increase community safety. Policing styles are also changing with the introduction of neighbourhood policing schemes.

Actions to be TakenSet up a working group to explore various traffic management solutions, such as speed limits, one-way system and children crossing sign, also looking at law enforcement issues.Liaise with Parish Council, County Highways and Road Safety Department, as well as Devon & Cornwall Constabulary.Carry out further parish consultation on whether residents are in favour of carpark provision to alleviate congestion on village roads, and/or whether there is a need to ensure that car parking is prohibited in specific locations.Liaise with Devon & Cornwall Constabulary (Neighbourhood Beat Manager) to seek advice on community safety. Check whether there is a community liaison officer for the area or whether there is likely to be one in the near future (perhaps shared with neighbouring parishes) and seek information regarding what is feasible in terms of a police presence.

Traffic & SafetyVision… Residents to enjoy a safe crime free parish, with appropriate traffic speeds and less traffic congestion.

Vision… Residents to enjoy a healthy active lifestyle within the parish, with improved leisure and sport opportunities and adeqaute access to health facilities.

Healthy Active Lifestyle

The consultation revealed that adventure playgrounds, bike trails and skate facilities were the most most popular recreational facilities required by parishioners. The County Council are an important partner when dealing with these issues, for example the Planning, Transportation and Estates Department can provide advice on green travel planning initiatives such as bike routes. Other organisations such as Sustrans (sustainable transport) are also encouraging more active lifestyles and have been involved in several cycle trail projects in Cornwall. Whether people cycle or walk out of necessity, or for leisure, health or environmental reasons, it is essential that the infrastructure, such as pathways and signage, is in place. Working with neighbouring parishes on these issues is recommended.

Cornwall and Isles of Scilly District Health Authority is responsible for health care services in Cornwall. The West Cornwall Primary Care Trust provide NHS services in the Kerrier area. The Health Promotion Service is one of the Health Authority’s projects, supporting communities and voluntary groups to tackle a wide range of health issues with specific projects on issues such as healthy eating, exercise, stopping smoking and mental health, as well as providing information and education through school projects. A patient forum has recently be set up to voice community health needs.

Actions to be TakenInvestigate possible bike trail projects, looking at routes, funding and land ownership issues.Set up community based group with potential users, volunteers and Parish Council.Lobby District Council in respect of need for skate facilities and for a district wide skateboard strategy (as in Penwith & Caradon districts).Liaise with the District Council regarding use of their mobile skate facility as a pilot to establish need and demand. If permenant facilities required site identification, feasibility and funding need to be researched as well as undertaking a health & safety assessment.Investigate feasibility of local prescription/chemist service, mobile services or health visitor, with a view to utilising village hall.Feed information from consultation into Patient Forum.

Vision… Improved local environment through improvements to the village, developing re-cycling facilities and investigation into resolving current sewage problems.

The development of a proper sewage system in Helford is a key priority. The planting of trees and recycling are also important issues. Partners here would include Kerrier District Council and Cornwall County Council, along with a number of environmental organisations that can provide information and advice. Concerns were raised through the consultation over the installation of a tetra mast in the parish. Mobile phone coverage is however presently provided by facilities at Goonhilly so it is unlikely that future plans to install a mast in the parish will be proposed.

Environment

Actions to be TakenConsider possible improvements that could be made to improve look of village such as flower beds, planting of trees, wildflower planting and hedge maintenance, and identify likely locations.Investigate feasibility of the installation of appropriate recycling facilities with adequate promotion of their location, improvement of existing facilities and household collection of specific items. Ensure that facilities are appropriately advertised, so usage is maximised.Identify issues/problems relating to the sewage system so that a clear outline of the current situation and expectations can be established.

Identify issues/problems relating to the sewage system so that a clear outline of the current situation and expectations can be established. As South West Water currently hold the licence to supply water and sewerage services to the south west, it will be necessary to establish whether they have an improvement strategy for the area and what this will involve. If there are specific problems that are not being tackled, the parish will need to lobby SWW and work with relevant partners such as Ofwat, Environment Agency, to work towards a resolution.

Throughout parish with Helford as a priority.
