Road closure in place on Maenporth Road between Maenporth Beach and Tregidna Farm, from Monday 8 March to Friday 6 April while civil engineering works take place to the retaining wall. (Heard that last time in 2013 when it took over 4 MONTHS to do the works!!)

Works will be undertaken between the hours of 8.00am and 4.00pm, Monday to Friday. The road will be reopened after working hours and at the weekends, where it is safe to do so.

Please plan your journeys to the outside world accordingly – you may need extra time to get out of the village into appointments – and please use the Argal Road, not Carlidnack unless you want to spend all your time queued or in reverse!

Mawnan Parish Council will continue to function although the offices remain closed to the public.  The clerk will be working from home but is still in contact via normal channels – email clerk@mawnan.org.uk or leave a phone message on 01326 251022, which she will return (be warned I tend to check only on Wednesday morning) .  There will of course be delays in this system but we hope that they will be minor.  If you need urgent help please make contact with one of the Parish Councillors directly – their details re on the PC website or to the left of this notice.

All Parish meetings will continue to take place online via Zoom, or live streamed to the parish’s Facebook page.  Full details of how to join these meetings are on the agenda section of the Parish Council website – www.mawnan.org.uk//agendas-minutes/

If you need some help yourself and cannot find anyone in the village Volunteer Cornwall have a matching service.  contact 01872 266988 or email requestforhelp@volunteercornwall.org.uk  If you feel that you could spare some time to volunteer to help others they have a series of support groups – walking buddies, shopping help, phone befriending – so check on their website for full info https://www.volunteercornwall.org.uk

If you know of an ongoing breach, feel someone or something happening in the village is unsafe or goes against the current restrictions please report this to the dedicated Enforcement team- email covid19@cornwall.gov.uk .  They will assess the report and pass onto the most appropriate service from the police to family care to the volunteer support sector and guarantee a 48 hour to response.  The police are patrolling and have extended powers so you can also report breaches to then online  using the form they provide.

Both Cornwall Volunteers and Cornwall Council have weekly e-newsletters that we strongly suggest you sign up to.  It will get you the latest information and lots of other routes to support during this anxious time.

Coronavirus cases are rising rapidly across the country. This has necessitated  further period of lockdown, so you need to:

• stay at home as much as possible
• work from home if you can
• limit contact with other people
• keep your distance from people not in your household (2 metres apart
where possible)
• wash your hands regularly
• do not leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.

You all know the most recent advice – Hands, Face, Spaces, & fresh air.

Remember, if you think you have symptoms please do not go to your GP – self isolate yourself and ring NHS 111 and they will give you details on what needs to be done.  Please do not contact your GP to ask about vaccinations – you will be advised when you are eligible and when your session is due.

If you can download that NHS tracking app please do so – it has information on restrictions, symptoms and testing.

Carwinion Playing Field remains open for individuals to use for exercise – though it is a bit soggy underfoot. 

However we ask that you try to keep to social distancing regulations and keep 2m apart from anyone outside of your household. We also ask that you keep groups to a max of 6 individuals wherever possible.

Please don’t undertake any activity that may look like something others can join in, with, even if you are in a household bubble.  We want to avoid social groups forming.

The carpark at Carwinion Field can be used for parking if using the surrounding footpath network but we ask that you understand the Trust hold no responsibility for damages, accidents or loss if vehicles are left.  Please park responsibly and try to avoid disruption to existing users such as the pre-school.
