There were five members of the public in attendance.

A resident requested answers on two questions about a piece of land by Carrick Pines and Curlews.

• Does the Parish Council agree with the work completed and wish to proceed with the request to Cornwall Council for the area to be a public right of way on the definitive map?
• If yes, who should take the lead Parish Council or resident?

As this was not on the agenda, a decision could not be made. A proposal would need to be discussed at a future meeting. The consequences of making the request may have a permanent detriment to the parishioners.
