Following a demand from Cornwall Council for very high charges to keep west Cornwall's CCTV operational, most of the towns involved decided to pull out. Thanks to an initiative of Hayle Town Council, the towns were brought together and a new funding model agreed to.

After a period with the CCTV system unmonitored, we are pleased to announce that we are back to operational status. As before, Remploy has the contract to supply the monitoring staff and they are already trained to use the Police radio system.

There is a plan for an Emergency Services Hub in the near future and the CCTV system will be monitored there when it is up and running. In the meantime the cooperation among the towns will enable the CCTV system to continue to protect our citizens.

The towns currently part of the agreement are: Hayle, St. Ives, Camborne, Redruth and Helston. It is hoped that Penzance will join soon.

Over 100 people turned out for the commemoration of the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the heroic role that Hayle-born Rick Rescorla played in it.The memorial service started with an introduction by the mayor, John Bennett followed by a minute of silence at 1:46 when the first plane hit the World Trade Center 10 years ago, a prayer offered by Rev Canon Martyn Trembath and some closing words from Rick's friend Mervyn Sullivan.

Mervyn also brought a message from Rick's widow Susan who expressed her thanks for the support she had received from people in Cornwall - which Rick always held dear.

The Town Clerk has sent this letter to the Chair of Hayle in Bloom, Margaret Tanner:

Dear Margaret

Blooming Hayle Event

The ‘Blooming Hayle’ event held on the King George V Memorial Walk on 26 June 2011 was discussed at the meeting of the full Council held on 7 July 2011. The Council was delighted at the success of the event with many hundreds, if not thousands, of people enjoying the stalls, excellent weather and beautiful setting provided by the Memorial Walk and its associated gardens. It was a truly superb celebration of Hayle and its people and accordingly it was resolved to commend Hayle in Bloom for the event. I would ask that you pass on the Council’s thanks to all those involved and I sincerely hope that its success can be repeated in the coming years.
