Today’s announcement of the South West RDA budget for 2009-11 does not include funding to progress the planned dredging of Falmouth docks.
Labour’s parliamentary spokesperson for Falmouth Charlotte MacKenzie contacted the RDA to find out more.
Charlotte MacKenzie said:
“I welcome the fact that investment over the next two years has been confirmed for strategic investment frameworks for Falmouth, Penryn, and Truro, including the planned Environment and Sustainability Institute at Tremough. And that there is a commitment to look at economic opportunities for Falmouth in marine renewables linked to the Wave Hub.
“But people in Falmouth need to know whether the proposed docks dredging and cruise terminal development is being put on hold for two years because of the financial pressures facing the RDA, or whether a strategic decision has been taken not to back the project. I asked the RDA for an answer to this question. It is clear that they are now looking more broadly at how to regenerate Falmouth’s economy.
“Most people in Falmouth see the future of this development as critical to the town’s future success. I will be contacting newly elected Cornwall councillors and others to ensure it continues to get the positive backing it deserves.”

Charlotte Mackenzie, the Labour candidate for Falmouth and Truro, commented this morning on the published corporate assessment report from the Audit Commission on Cornwall’s fire services. She said:
“Sadly, this report confirms what local people fear. Fire services in Cornwall have deteriorated under Liberal Democrat leadership of council services since 2005. Fire services are now rated as ‘poor’ rather than ‘fair’.
“Among other issues, the report highlights weak political leadership by the County Council and recommends that ‘councillors need to take a stronger role in leading and challenging performance’ of Cornwall’s fire service.
“This is not the only service to receive less good ratings since the Liberal Democrats were elected in 2005 – the same is true of adult social care. At unitary authority elections later this year, people in Cornwall will have an opportunity to tell the Liberal Democrats what the Audit Commission can’t – it is time for you to go, Cornwall deserves better local political leadership.”

Hundreds of shoppers at a busy Penryn supermarket on Saturday signed Labour’s petition to meet the need for affordable local housing. Those signing ranged from students to pensioners, and included people losing work locally because of the slowdown in the construction industry.
Charlotte MacKenzie said:
“Many people’s dream of finding a place of their own will be put on hold if developers do not proceed as planned with major developments like that of the former Richard Lander school site in Truro.
“Labour in Government is taking action to help people keep their homes despite the credit crunch. Carrick Housing has funding to build new social housing; and some local housing associations in Cornwall are also purchasing unsold homes, in developments affected by the downturn in the housing market, with the help of Government funds.
“It is really important that local authorities also work with developers in a way that maximises the opportunities that are available. This petition will go to the new Cornwall Council, which will be responsible for housing and homelessness in future, as well as for sustainable economic development.
“We want to move the debate forward. The people supporting our petition are not saying every controversial development proposal in Falmouth and Truro must be allowed to go ahead. But they recognise that if more affordable homes are needed, new housing does need to be built.”

The Labour parliamentary candidate for Falmouth and Truro, Charlotte MacKenzie, said today that people must be told about future fire-service plans.
Last year, campaigners in Falmouth and Penryn secured a victory when the Council lifted its recruitment freeze on full-time firefighters, clearing the way for vacancies to be filled and for Falmouth fire-station’s full-time cover to continue at night. However, a management report last October included the option of switching some of that full-time cover to other stations in Cornwall.
Charlotte MacKenzie said:
“Thousands of people signed petitions and joined the facebook group to save 24-hour full-time fire cover in Penryn and Falmouth. It is time the Council reassured the community and said what its fire-service plans are. I have written today to the new interim chief fire officer to make him aware of the strength of local feeling on this issue.
“The Council and Implementation Executive are now setting the budget for the new Cornwall Council. This does not include plans to increase the fire-services budget to take account of issues highlighted in the risk management report. If cover needs to be improved, the money should be found to do that. Cornwall is receiving the sixth largest revenue grant increase in the country. The Government is also providing additional funds that must be spent on equipping fire-services.
“It is great to see Commercial Road in Penryn return to business as usual after the furniture shop fire at night and despite the economic recession. Everyone knows that with 24-hour docks, oil storage, busy hotels and guest houses, university campuses and student accommodation, Falmouth and Penryn need full-time fire-cover at night.”

On Thursday 31 July local government Minister John Healey MP visited Malabar Children’s and Community Centre in Truro.
Malabar is one of three new community centres opening in Truro thanks to the hard work of local residents and Labour’s investment in family and children’s services.
The Malabar Community Centre is run by New Beginnings residents’ association.
During the visit John Healey MP was shown round the Children’s Centre by manager Lisa Sherlock, and met children and parents enjoying the centre’s activities.
He met representatives of New Beginnings residents’ association, and Community Development worker Trudy Swann who works with residents’ groups on Trelander, Malpas, and Malabar. Truro City Council employs Trudy Swann and John Healey MP also met Deputy Mayor Ros Cox.
He was accompanied by Charlotte Mackenzie, Labour’s prospective MP for Truro, who is a local councillor for Trehaverne ward which includes Malabar.
Charlotte MacKenzie said: “It is fantastic to have three new community centres in Truro at Malpas Road, Malabar, and Trelander. These Centres show the difference that local residents can make for their communities.
“The Malabar Centre is coming into its own during the school holidays with play and other activities. Refurbishing the old school certainly wasn’t straightforward and this is a great achievement for New Beginnings and all the partner organisations working with them.
“I know that John Healey MP found the visit interesting and enjoyed meeting everybody. These centres would not exist without Labour’s investment – Tory plans show that they would cut spending on much-needed services like this by £200 million.”
There are eleven children’s centres in the new constituency area of Truro and Falmouth, which includes almost all of Carrick.

Charlotte MacKenzie today welcomed an independent evaluation report which shows Sure Start has a positive impact on the lives of children and families, and the announcement of more funding for children’s centres and services.
The report found children behave better and are more independent if they live in areas with Sure Start Children’s Centres. Other findings show that parents have more positive parenting skills and provide a better home learning environment for their children, helping prepare children to do well at school and make the most of their talents. The government is on track to meet its pledge of having 3,500 children’s centres by 2010, one for every community.
Charlotte MacKenzie, who wants to be the first MP for the new constituency of Truro and Falmouth, said: “Many children are already being given a better start because The Lighthouse in Falmouth and Penryn Children’s Centre are supporting local families.”
“The Children’s Centres funding will mean new buildings and additional support for parents and children at many local schools and community centres. In Truro this includes Tregolls, Archbishop Benson, and Bosvigo schools, Truro Nursery School, and the community centres at Malabar, Malpas, and Trelander.”
“The latest funding will also mean more community outreach workers in the most disadvantaged areas. Outreach workers will provide home visiting and other support that will make a real difference to families who find it difficult to access services.”
“Together with the Chancellor’s budget announcement of increases in Child Tax Credit, these developments will make a real difference for local children.”

The Government today announced more investment in higher education through a new ‘university challenge’.
The news was welcomed by Dr Charlotte MacKenzie, Labour’s candidate for MP in the new constituency of Truro and Falmouth, who said: “Cornwall’s university is tranforming the local economy, and making a real difference for young people. Because of success stories like CUC, the Government announced today that more funding will be invested in new university projects to unlock local talent and drive economic regeneration.”
Secretary of State for Universities John Denham MP said: “I want to build on the successes of the last few years which have seen new centres of higher education transforming local economies and the lives of local people. We must learn from these success stories and act on the growing evidence that locally based projects play a key role in helping local areas and people realise their potential. Communities should have the chance to show they can make the most of the power of higher education, to help unlock the talent of their local people and help make them better off.”
In the last 5 years, the government has committed £100m, and opened or committed to 17 local university campuses or centres including that at Tremough.
Welcoming the decision announced last week that University College Falmouth and Dartington College of Arts will merge in April this year, Dr Charlotte MacKenzie said:
“This is very exciting news for Falmouth and Penryn.
“The fact that these colleges are merging from April this year demonstrates their commitment to complete the new build and admit more students by 2010. The location and creative academic strengths which are being brought together here have the potential to develop a unique provision.
“Cornwall has a vibrant cultural landscape producing success stories like Kneehigh and the Cornwall Film Festival. A University for the Arts in Cornwall will be good news for local cultural industries, as well as the university. It will mean more high skill and better paid jobs.
“The University campus at Tremough has already led to an 80 per cent increase in the number of 18-24 year olds living in Falmouth. This development is expected to lead to a further 25 per cent increase on student numbers at University College Falmouth.
“Together with the docks redevelopment and marina, this will mean a bright future for Falmouth and Penryn. Both developments have my total support.”

Labour’s parliamentary candidate for Truro and Falmouth Charlotte MacKenzie today welcomed the news that Cornwall County Council is allocating an additional £1.1 Million to local fireservices, ending the recruitment freeze imposed by the Liberal Democrat led Council in 2005.
She said:
“This is a victory for everyone who has campaigned for the Liberal Democrats to move local fireservices up the list of priorities. It will enable full-time firefighters to be recruited so that engines do not go out from local firestations without a full crew. Labour led the campaign to lift the fireservices recruitment freeze and I’m delighted that this proposal has been agreed by the full Council.”
“No guarantees have been given for Falmouth. Labour’s petition to save Falmouth’s 24-hour cover will remain open until the Council takes a final decision on Falmouth firestation and cuts are ruled out; it can also be signed online at www.charlottemackenzie.com .”

Labour Party representatives thoroughly enjoyed the political awareness day organised by the FXU Students’ Union on the Tremough campus.
Labour Students ran a successful stall with the local Labour Party. They were welcomed with overwhelming support from students for Labour’s petition to save 24-hour firecover at Falmouth firestation.
Truro and Falmouth Labour Party’s youth rep Anna McGlynn said: “It was great to talk to students at the event, and hear from them what their concerns were. There’s clearly a lot of strong feelings about local issues like housing in the area, and public protection. Their enthusiasm for signing the petition against ending twenty-four hour fire cover in the area was an indication that this issue is one that impacts on everyone in the area.”
Labour’s parliamentary candidate for Truro and Falmouth, Charlotte MacKenzie, who started the firestations petition, said: “The students we spoke to at Tremough have a clear message for the Liberal Democrats at County Hall: don’t cut Falmouth and Penryn’s 24-hour firecover.”
The quality of student accommodation off campus was one of the issues raised during wide-ranging debate at the student question time. Charlotte MacKenzie said “Students raised a good range of questions on local and national issues.”

As the campaign continues to save Falmouth firestation’s full-time cover at night, Labour’s parliamentary candidate Charlotte MacKenzie visited Falmouth firestation with Cornwall County Councillor Gerald Chin-Quee.
Local fireservices and the budget to support them is being discussed at the Community Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee on Wednesday 23 January. A report for that committee by Chief Fire Officer Matt Littmoden says that “Station strengths are now at an absolute minimum”. Falmouth Labour Party wants the County Council to lift the recruitment freeze which has been in place since the Liberal Democrats took control of the County Council in 2005, resulting in 16 unfilled vacancies for full-time firefighters. Independent assessment of the County Council’s performance since 2005 confirm that the fireservice only meets minimum requirements.
Speaking after the visit to Falmouth firestation, Councillor Gerald Chin-Quee said “The greatest risks facing Falmouth are at night: statistically more fires, more risk of death, greater area to cover geographicallly. Our population – thanks to the continuing influx of students – is rising faster than any town in Cornwall, with the widest range of risks (including the Docks) whilst being far from the A30 and having the rural hinterland to contend with on top. All this at a time when the fire service is 10% below strength, increasing pressure on the already failing recruitment of retained firefighters. Now tell me we are LESS in need of 24 hour fire cover by full time manned fire station. Its absolutely ridiculous. What does it take to convince those at County Hall – another Penhallow?”
Charlotte MacKenzie said: “We want the Council to fill the full-time vacancies which are currently leaving some firecrews undermanned in Falmouth and Truro. It isn’t enough to invest in improvements to the retained service. Ken Yeo and his colleagues should remove the threat to Falmouth’s 24-hour cover, which has hung over the firestation for more than a year. It is bad for morale – and the reputation of the service – for firefighters to be forced to respond to calls with less than a full crew. The whole service operates on the basis that full-time firefighters and retained crews are there when needed to back each other up. Cornwall County Council has an 8.5 per cent increase in Government funding next year and it is scandalous that they are not making fireservices a priority.”
Labour’s petition to keep Falmouth’s 24-hour full-time cover can be signed here.

Falmouth, firestation, Lib Dem service cuts

Responding to the news that Cornwall County Council executive are now proposing to retain the 24 hour firestation at Camborne, but refusing to withdraw their recommendation of cuts to Falmouth firestation, Labour’s parliamentary candidate for Truro and Falmouth Charlotte MacKenzie said:
“I welcome the good news for residents in Camborne and Hayle. However, I’m appalled at the way in which the Liberal Democrat executive at Cornwall County Council have handled this.”
“It is totally arbitrary to recommend prioritising 24 hour cover at Camborne when they have previously stressed the need to consider the findings of the enquiry into the fire at the Penhallow Hotel in Newquay. They are still waiting for the risk assessment which should have been undertaken before these dangerous cuts were proposed.”
“I urge everybody who wants Falmouth firestation to continue as a 24-hour station with full-time cover at night to sign our petition.”

Charlotte MacKenzie has been selected as Labour’s parliamentary candidate for the new Truro and Falmouth constituency.
Commenting after her selection Charlotte MacKenzie said:
“I’m very happy to be selected as Labour’s parliamentary candidate in my home constituency.”
“Cornwall needs Labour representation. In Truro and Falmouth, the Liberal Democrats drew up plans which only expect one in three new homes to be affordable, despite the fact that regional plans recommend two out of three new homes should be affordable in areas of greatest need.”
“An independent inspection this year confirms that – on the Liberal Democrats’ watch – Cornwall’s adult social care, children’s services, and fireservices only meet minimum requirements, a deterioration since 2005 when the Liberal Democrats came into control of Cornwall County Council. This is despite the fact that the Labour Government has given the County Council above average, above inflation funding increases.”
“The Liberal Democrats once gained ground partly because they advocated a new politics of consensus. In Cornwall, it is the Liberal Democrats who now have Tweedledum and Tweedledee squabbles, with their MPs evidently feeling unable to support their councillors’ decisions on issues such as waste management and councillors’ allowances. No wonder seven of their councillors have left the Liberal Democrats.”
“I will be urging everyone who feels let down by the Liberal Democrats to support Labour because of our track record in Cornwall. Thanks to Labour’s investment in Cornwall’s future we have new schools and a university; we will be getting a new purpose built healthpark, and a dental school in Truro; there will be further investment in Falmouth docks; the A30 has been widened at Goss Moor; and unemployment has fallen by two thirds. Neither opposition Party has effective influence on Government decisions affecting Cornwall.”
“I will continue to serve my local community as a Truro councillor, and I hope to continue as Chair of Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change, a position to which I was re-elected recently by the Board.”
“This is the only constituency where I applied for selection and it is the only place that I would want to represent in Parliament.”

Members of Truro and Falmouth Labour Party will be supporting the walk to save local firestations in Falmouth and Penryn on Saturday 29 September. Charlotte MacKenzie said: “We started a petition to save Falmouth firestation when the proposed cuts were first discussed in January. It is outrageous that initial discussion of closing Falmouth and Camborne stations at night was undertaken with no proper review of the safety implications. And it is disgraceful that the Liberal Democrat led County Council will not rule out these cuts after the tragic loss of life in the Newquay hotel fire revealed how stretched Cornwall’s fireservices are. Labour totally supports the FBU’s campaign against these dangerous cuts and we will be joining the march on Saturday to say so. We urge everyone who wants Falmouth station to remain open at night to do the same, and to sign our petition here ”

We are delighted the County Council is pausing for thought on the proposed night closure of 24 hour firestations in Falmouth and Camborne.
In January we started an online petition against the cuts when they were first proposed, which we submitted as part of the formal consultation.The County Council has received more funding than ever before from Labour in government. It is a question of how they choose to spend it and the Liberal Democrats have got their priorities all wrong. It is outrageous that the initial decision was apparently taken without a full report on the safety implications.We must keep up the pressure to make sure the Liberal Democrats don’t make Cornwall the only County in the UK with no 24 hour firestations.

Truro and Falmouth Labour Party representatives were amongst people joining the protest against cuts to fireservices which the Liberal Democrat led County Council is proposing to make. Supporting firecrews on the protest from Union Place to Lemon Quay in Truro.
Speaking on behalf of Truro and Falmouth Labour Party, Charlotte MacKenzie said: “These proposals put lives and jobs at risk. The final decision has not yet been made, and it’s vital to keep up the pressure on the County Council to stop these cuts. The Government expects fireservices to be provided on the basis of risk, but the Liberal Democrat led County Council would rather spend money on free newspapers and bottled water.”
“We share the FBU’s concerns that these cuts would have an impact on fireservices and emergency response times throughout Cornwall. The proposed changes to night cover at Falmouth Fire Station would slow down response times after 6pm for all call outs to Falmouth docks, fires at sea, large hotel fires, fires at home, and to Penryn, where the local firestation closure was only accepted by residents because of cover provided by the 24 hour firestation at Falmouth.”
In January, Truro and Falmouth Labour Party started an on-line petition against plans to close 24-hour firestations at night in Falmouth and Camborne. This petition was submitted to the formal consultation in April. Charlotte MacKenzie is pictured delivering the petition to County Hall.

In January, Truro and Falmouth Labour Party started an on-line petition against plans to close 24-hour firestations at night.
Lesley Trenchard of Boslowick Road in Falmouth is one of many people who signed the petition. She said “Falmouth firestation covers the docks as well as thousands of homes. These proposals put lives and jobs at risk. It’s vital this petition makes the powers that be think again.”
Handing in the petition at County Hall in Truro, for the formal consultation which closes on Tuesday 10 April, local campaigner Charlotte MacKenzie said: “We are deeply concerned that the proposed changes to night cover at Falmouth Fire Station would slow down response times after 6pm for all call outs to Falmouth docks, fires at sea, large hotel fires, fires at home, and to Penryn, where the local firestation closure went ahead because of the availability of the 24 hour firestation at Falmouth.”

The Labour Party in Truro and Falmouth hit out today at local housing plans drawn up by the Liberal Democrat led Carrick District Council.
The Regional Spatial Strategy for the South West recommends local authorities specify up to two out of three new homes or more are affordable in areas of greatest housing need. Despite being identified as an area for growth, local development plans only make a commitment to one in three new homes being affordable.
Speaking on behalf of Truro and Falmouth Labour Party, local campaigner Charlotte MacKenzie said: “We welcome the fact that Truro has been identified as a growth point. But we are very concerned that this will not tackle shortages of affordable housing in Falmouth. In 2006/7, 20 new affordable homes to rent were completed in Truro, and none at all in Falmouth.”
“Carrick District Council covers an area of very great need for housing that local families can afford. We are concerned that Carrick District Council is not planning realistically to meet the need for affordable homes in Falmouth and Truro. At the Lib Dems’ pace, it would take 20 years to house the current housing register for the Carrick District Council area. They need to do more.”
Truro and Falmouth Labour Party has made a written submission about local housing needs to the RSS examination in public, which will take place shortly.

Truro and Falmouth Labour Party slammed the Lib Dem budget agreed by Cornwall County Council today as a let down for local people. Local campaigner Charlotte MacKenzie said: “We oppose the cuts the Lib Dem led County Council is proposing to current levels of social care, free transport for some people with disabilities, and night cover at firestations.”
“Cornwall’s fireservices cost the average Council Tax payer just over £1 a week – less than most everyday insurance policies. It is money well spent. Closing Falmouth firestation at 6pm would increase the time local fire-crews take to reach fires, so endangering lives. A final decision has not yet been made and you can sign our online petition against these cuts to local fire-services and jobs.”

Cornwall Labour Party today hit out at Lib Dem cuts to local services after it was reported that 24 hour firestations in Falmouth and Camborne may close at night. The fireworkers union the FBU has already expressed concern at the proposals because they say calling night staff out from home would increase the time taken to reach local firescenes by a minimum of four minutes. The proposals are to be discussed at a County Council meeting on Thursday.Cornwall Labour Party condemned the proposal to close the firestations at night from 6.00pm. Cornwall Labour Party spokesperson Charlotte MacKenzie said: “These cuts to fireservices at night must not go ahead. The Falmouth service covers the docks and fires at sea as well as protecting local residents and visitors. It’s vital that response times are not delayed and that emergency workers reach firescenes quickly.”Cornwall Labour Party slammed the Liberal Democrat led County Council for making cuts to local services rather than finding other ways to keep within budget. Charlotte MacKenzie said: “The Liberal Democrats have cut adult social care in Cornwall. They voted to support the closure of some wards and operating theatres at Treliske. Now they are considering cuts to vital fireservices. At the same time, senior Liberal Democrat councillors have paid themselves massive increases in their allowances, and say they have £360,000 to spend on a council newspaper. It’s important to operate within budget and to keep council tax increases down. The Lib Dems have got their priorities all wrong and are failing to provide the best possible services for local people.”
The proposals for local fireservices will be open for twelve weeks consultation from Monday.
An online petition has been started to keep the firestations open at night.
