asked to pick a maximum of five. The chart shows what percentage of respondents picked each category.

Twenty nine par�cipants made addi�onal comments

1) Bring back Fun week! We have all witnessed how much the town gets together for

rare events such as WW1 vigil. We need more community events. Fun week gave

many of us memories including duck race.

2) Don't know what NP is. Need a bypass, town more a2rac�ve to visitors, need a

supermarket. Houses being built locals can't afford and services (like Drs) not im-

proved to cope

3) Educa�onal opportuni�es/facili�es for post 16.

4) I believe support should be given to maintain the library service in Camelford -

providing access to computers and a lifeline to many elderly people and young fam-

ilies.

5) I'd like to build a bungalow for Mother and me on our field as no suitable accom in

Helstone. How can we try to include our land on the new building boundary as it

was excluded last �me.

6) It's a no to being involved as my wife is already involved and it would be wrong for

both of us to have a say

7) Keeping free parking is essen�al to keeping our town alive. Traffic flow could be

improved by making the priority (give way) sign more obvious as you come into

town past the old police sta�on…

8) Make Camelford drs surgery bigger! And there is a lot of room for improvement to

the so called new school

9) More support should be available for alcohol and drugs abuse. We can't ignore

that there’s an issue in Camelford even though the Council may feel the issue

would be highlighted by crea�ng a support centre

10) My selec�on of other is specifically to draw a2en�on to the need to a2ract tourist/

tourism interest in all its forms to develop further the economic and social wellbe-

ing of the community.

11) Areas of concern - bypass, supermarket, health centre, free car parking, post 16

educa�on, public transport, leisure centre. Happy to elaborate if required; I am a

previous resident

12) New medical centre to include dental surgery and pharmacy able to carry out mi-

nor procedures. Update sewage system. Build distributor road. Housing to en-

compass ALL age groups not just young people.

13) No den�st. What happened to the supermarket and new medical centre?

14) Such wonderful history and old buildings. Traffic is a major concern increasing

yearly and the large vehicle traffic makes it unpleasant and unsafe to visit the town

centre.

15) There are too many houses being built and not enough other facili�es to provide

for all the people living here! The school isn't big enough and there is nothing for

parents with young children to do.

16) Too many houses are being built without sufficient infrastructure to sustain it.

Town has gone downhill so much in the last 10 years, no longer a nice place to live.

17) 200 characters wasn't enough so I will just say what people are thinking. Stupid

idea from people who don't care about people that already live in Camelford

18) We desperately need a supermarket in this town. We need to stop accep�ng trou-

ble families from up country. We used to have a lovely town and now it’s a dis-

grace due to people that have moved into the area.

19) We have enough housing here - what we need now is larger medical facili�es i.e.

doctor's surgery

20) What about more facili�es for our children? More opening hours for the library.

21) When on the Town Council in the 90s we said that too many houses were being

built and it would turn it into a dormitory town unless more commercial sites were

made - proved right. NO MORE HOUSES!!!!

22) With all the new housing, can the sewage, water, schools and doctors cope? I

would like to shop more locally however the choice of food is limited.

23) The Council needs to focus on drawing in long-term business/job opportuni�es and

not on the crea�on of more houses that Camelford's infrastructure cannot support.

24) Increased housing needs increased employment space. I ask the council to back

development at Tregath business park, an established industrial area with room,

and plans, to expand

25) Heritage encompasses retaining historic appearance including shops and houses.

Retain library and toilets.

26) I've been concerned with the talk of a high number of affordable housing being

planned for the area. There doesn't seem to be the infrastructure to support a

large influx of people.

27) Camelford and surrounding areas badly need NHS den�st also be2er shopping eg,

possible supermarket and upda�ng medical centre.

28) Camelford's reputa�on as a good place to live is becoming tarnished, the general

level of facili�es available, along with the transport and u�li�es networks, have not

kept pace with housing devel

29) Several buildings need to be �died and painted in High St. HGVs shouldn't come

through the town. It is too dangerous for my son to walk next to me holding hands

when the lorries are coming through.
