The "Keep Cancer Care in Cornwall" online e- petition has been approved and is now live on the Prime Minister's 10 Downing Street, website.  The petition states:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to allow Cornwall to have its own Centre of Excellence for cancer surgery. In November 2007 Cornwall County Council approved the transfer of some cancer services out of Cornwall, thereby removing the choice from cancer patients to get cancer treatment close to their home, families & friends. This means that Upper Gastro Intestinal cancer surgery, Head & Neck cancer surgery and Complex Gynae cancer surgery can be withdrawn and moved to Exeter or Plymouth.

If you would like to let the government know that you would like to retain cancer care within Cornwall, please sign the petition at:  http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Cornwall-cancer/.  Please let your friends know too.

Hayle Town Council notes with sadness the loss of Marjorie Roberts, who served as Hayle town mayor 2003-05 and volunteered for countless town organisations. She died the morning of 21st April 2008 following several years of fragile health.

Born in Hayle, Marjorie lived here her entire life except for a seven-year period in Yorkshire. Earlier in her life she worked as a visiting nurse and in a variety of administrative jobs.

Always one to get involved and get things done, Marjorie joined the council 12 years ago and spent two years as deputy mayor followed by two years as town mayor, a position she thoroughly enjoyed and which brought credit to the council.

Although Marjorie stepped down from the council in 2007, she continued as chair of Hayle in Bloom, which she had guided since 2004. Under her leadership, Hayle in Bloom went from strength to strength, culminating in its entry into the national Britain in Bloom competition, where Marjorie and her team earned a Silver-Gilt award. Marjorie herself took a personal award in the Community Champions category, one of only six individuals to be recognised throughout the country for having dedicated an extraordinary amount of personal time to the Britain in Bloom cause.

In April, Marjorie was honoured by the town council as a Citizen of the Year. In her acceptance speech she asked that this not be just a titular honour, but that she be allowed to take an active role in promoting and supporting the town..

Our condolences go out to husband Arthur and their two children. Marjorie was much loved by all who knew her and she will be sadly missed.
