Plans to help walkers and cyclists Residents are being invited to have their say on possible improvements to promote walking and cycling in the St Ives town and parish. St Ives Walking and Cycling Group is working to tackle climate change, traffic congestion, economic and social inequality and healthy recovery after the covid lockdown by developing a walking and cycling strategy. The group is addressing connectivity and cycle infrastructure to encourage safe and enjoyable walking and cycling, especially for those short trips that are often done in the car. They would would like the community’s views on a series of projects for further design development, and possible implementation in future years. The group has produced suggested improvements, having done an audit of the streets in the town and more broadly across the wider administrative
parish area, and this information is available for comment and discussion. Find out more at tinyurl.com/54xj6rsa
Fishermen invited to apply for grants Those working in the fishing communities of Hayle and St Ives are being invited to apply for support from the Wave Hub Small Grants Fund.
The fund’s stakeholder panel met last month to reconstitute following the local elections and to consider a number of project applications. The panel elected Andrew Mitchell, councillor for St Ives West and Towednack, as its chair. He said: “We are looking forward to using this fund to support local fishing communities in Hayle and St Ives, and we welcome project proposals to come forward so the panel can consider them at our next meeting.” The fund has been established to support fishing communities affected by the installation of the Wave Hub. The £150,000 fund is open for applications, which the panel will consider on a quarterly basis. The deadline for applications to be considered for the September 2021 meeting is 4th August.
