Request to consider supporting the Local Electricity Bill – see below for email received and possible resolution:
Dear Ms Wilson,
I am writing to ask that you please join 27 Parish, Town and Community Councils that have already resolved to support the Local Electricity Bill.
The Bill, if made law, would empower local communities to sell locally generated clean energy directly to local customers by establishing a statutory Right to Local Supply. This is currently impossible because of the huge setup and running costs involved in doing so.
The ultimate result of this would be:
- Local communities and businesses could buy their electricity from a local energy company.
- Building more local renewable energy would be financially viable.
- Communities would benefit from the revenues that new local energy supply companies would generate, such as more local skilled jobs, energy efficiency schemes and investment in local facilities.
Could you please help by doing the following?
- Ask Cardinham Parish Council to support the Local Electricity Bill. A suggested resolution is further below.
- Sign up to the campaign as an individual, which you can do here: http://www.powerforpeople.org.uk/sign-up
Please reply if you would like a more detailed briefing or to ask anything about the Bill or our campaign for it.
Kind regards
Steve

Council Draft Resolution
That Cardinham Parish Council
- I) notes that the Local Electricity Bill
- aims to address the current situation, whereby the very large financial setup and running costs involved in selling locally generated renewable electricity to local customers result in it being impossible for local renewable electricity generators to do so,
- if made law, would make these financial costs proportionate to the scale of a renewable electricity supplier’s operation and therefore empower councils, together with their communities, to sell locally generated renewable electricity directly to local people, businesses and organisations, and
- would result in councils or community organisations that set up local renewable electricity companies receiving revenues that could be used to help fund local greenhouse gas emissions reduction measures and to help improve local services and facilities
- II) accordingly resolves to support the Local Electricity Bill, supported by a cross-party group of 115 MPs during the 2017-19 Parliamentary session; and
III) further resolves to write to the organisers of the campaign for the Bill, Power for People, (at 8 Delancey Passage, Camden, London NW1 7NN or info@powerforpeople.org.uk) expressing its support.

2019 Advert for Voluntary Board Members for CRHA
We have received the following notification from the Forestry Commission:
“It’s come to the time of year where we begin our annual timber harvesting operations in Cardinham Woods. For operational purposes the woodland is divided into 7 areas with 1 area being worked each year – this year it is the turn of the area near Milltown and closest to Cardinham. I have attached a map (see link below) highlighting the area in which we will be working (shaded in red).” The current proposed start date for this work is 18th November 2018 with an aim to complete the felling work during the week commencing 18th March 2019 to allow 2 weeks for any reinstatement work so we can open for Easter. Unfortunately due to the inherent danger felling operations pose it does mean the we will have to restrict public access to the area highlighted on the map. Given the proximity to Cardinham and other villages this may raise some questions / concerns from local residents. We will place notices regarding the felling operations on site in advance. The current plan is for public rights of way to remain open and that we will manage any work adjacent to these with additional staffing to ensure public safety.”

Tree Warden for the Parish – the parish council has received the following communication:
You may or may not be aware of the tree warden scheme that the Tree Council has been running since 1991. More information can be found here on the Tree Council website. There are already a number of tree wardens within Cornwall and following a number of enquiries we are seeking interest in revitalising and extending this initiative within Cornwall to interested parishes.
Trees are of fundamental importance to the sense of place of a parish and there is often considerable interest in existing tree and indeed planting new trees. In addition many parishes and towns are considering trees and other greenspaces in their Neighbourhood planning.
Tree Wardens can work closely with their local community to better understand and share information about their local trees and to capture opportunities that the community may be interested in – for example the Ancient Tree Hunt – identify veteran trees within the parish; tree planting where appropriate and accessing funds or trees (for example at present the Woodland Trust are offering free trees to communities at the moment). In addition they can often see issues developing before our officers become aware of it to ensure appropriate responses.
As part of re-vitalising the existing network of tree wardens and extending it within Cornwall we will be offering some free awareness raising sessions for tree wardens on the role during the summer and to explore what support we might be able to provide for this network – for example some training events on trees and planning, cultural associations of tree (e.g. in place names etc.) keep in touch network newsletter etc.
IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED PLEASE CONTACT THE PARISH COUNCIL BEFORE 27TH JUNE 2018.
