Adult Digital Exclusion (Jan 2024)

It is recognised that the only way of communicating with many commercial and government organisations is online. Elders and those on low incomes, the most vulnerable in our communities, will become disenfranchised as the growing use of technology makes them more isolated in our communities.

Cllr John Gundry has completed some research on this subject and has drafted a report that assesses the extent of this problem locally and provides useful information schemes available locally that provide opportunities to counter adult digital exclusion.

Group Captain Mike Trace OBE DL planting the tree

Queen's 'Green Canopy' Tree Planting

During this year's National Tree Week, the community of Lanreath Parish recently planted an English oak tree (Quercus robur) in the grounds of the Village Hall as part of the Queen's 'Green Canopy' Jubilee Year celebrations. This was initiated by Cllr Sue Cave, the Parish Council's Environment lead, who, in collaboration with the 'Forest for Cornwall Project', secured the donation of the tree as part of the Project's 'Landmark Tree' initiative. The Village Hall Committee kindly granted permission for the tree to be planted in the grounds of the Village Hall where it will be readily accessible to the whole community.

New Defibrillator

The village is very fortunate to have a defibrillator situated on the Millennium Green. However, we have managed to secure funding from both our local turbines, The British Heart Foundation, the County Councillors Community fund and the Amenities to enable us to recently purchase our second defibrillator from the British Heart Foundation which is situated outside of the Village Hall. This will be a great contribution to the residential area at the top end of the village and of course any functions that take place in the village hall. The list of trained responders will be the same for both defibrillators and is located next to them. The defibrillator is registered with the South Western Ambulance Service and all weekly and monthly checks will be carried out throughout the year by Sandra Pipe, and training for use of the defibrator will be a joint training session for both defibrillators for the named responders.

The Owl and the Pussycat Wind Vane

New Millennium Building Weather Vane

Following extensive fundraising, a handsome new 'The Owl and the Pussy Cat' weather vane was erected on top of the Millennium Building clock tower with a splendidly refurbished clock courtesy of volunteer members of the community.

The retaining wall

New Millennium Green Retaining Wall

The retaining wall for the Millennium Green was in imminent danger of collapse. This has now been completely rebuilt to a very high standard, with assistance from Viridor towards the funding, and local builder Neil Marshall for completion of the work.
