The Hayle Oral History Project has now started

In an effort to keep the memories of Hayle for everyone forever the Hayle Oral History Project is recording conversations and interviews with older members of the community about their working life in this busy industrial town with foundries, mines, a power station, harbour and explosive works. We would also like to hear about family/daily life and social activities such as the popular regatta, carnival and dances and any events that affected the town. We are looking for:
The project focuses on Hayle and the surrounding area such as St. Erth, Gwinear, Connor Downs, Gwithian, Angarrack etc. The Hayle Oral History Project is co-ordinated by an ex-BBC radio producer and reporter with experience working on Hollywood films, making BBC TV reports and lecturing at University College Falmouth.

King George V Memorial Walk - Closure to Motor Traffic.
Public Consultation
|
At the council meeting on 4 September, the council resolved:
To examine the ramifications of closing King George V Memorial Walk to motor traffic
(except for access), either at weekends, at all times, or at such times as the Council shall direct
and to undertake a consultation prior to any such closing.
The Council also directs the Clerk to report on options and costs for effecting the closure.
Hayle Town Council owns the walk and the suggestion to consider the possibility of closing it to motor traffic was prompted by the increase in traffic over recent years and the potential for huge increases over the next decade with the harbour development and the requirement of the Regional Spatial Strategy to build a large number of new homes in Hayle. The road is not adopted by the County and consequently repairs are the responsibility of Hayle Town Council. Heavy vehicles cause a lot more damage to the road surface than cars and there has been an increase in these recently and a likely further increase in the future.
Another consideration was the success of weekend road closures in other parts of Britain which allowed walkers, cyclists, skate boarders, roller bladers - any non-motorised users - to enjoy these areas safely.
It is probable that the Walk would be closed at only one end allowing easy access for residents, gardeners and maintenance people. |
 |
This picture is purely illustrative as the method of closure, the signage and the
location of the barrier have yet to be determined should the scheme go ahead.
|
The Council would like to receive the views of town residents. Please contact the Town Clerk by email or letter to express your view. Some questions to be considered are:
- Do you support closure of the road?
- If so, do you support closure at weekends or 7 days a week (or any other times)?
- Should any closure be seasonal or all year?
- Do you have any preference for how or where the road should be closed?
