Members and friends of East Cornwall Court Goodwill 5077, part of the Foresters Friendly Society, have raised an impressive £1,300 in support of Cornwall Hospice Care.

The funds were formally presented during a special visit to St Julia’s Hospice in Hayle, marking a significant milestone in the Court’s ongoing charitable work.

Chief Ranger (Chair) Joan Thomas, accompanied by five fellow Court members and supported by her husband and member Ken Thomas, visited the hospice to present the cheque to hospice manager Owen Crocker and Fundraising Manager Leanne Coutson. The fundraising took place during Joan’s term of office and was made possible through a variety of activities including raffles, a garden party, and generous donations from friends, neighbours and family in lieu of birthday and Christmas presents. Special thanks were also extended to Courts Pride of the Plym and Goodwill for their kind contributions.

During the visit, members learned more about the vital work carried out by Cornwall Hospice Care. The organisation receives approximately 91 per cent of its running costs from public donations, with only nine per cent funded by the NHS. On average, around 370 patients are admitted to hospice wards each year, with an average patient age of 50. Cornwall Hospice Care operates two hospices serving adults aged 18 and over from across the county, and encouragingly, around one third of patients are supported to return home or to a care home following treatment and care.

One planning application was considered, PA25/09647 – Unit 1, Moorview, Coads Green, PL15 7LY – Change of use Class E to use Class C3 (residential dwelling house) with various external alterations and additions. It was agreed that there was no plan to change the footprint and North Hill Parish Council had no objections to the applications.

Other matters discussed included confirmation of the application being received by Cornwall Highways Improvement Programme for speed restrictions at Bathpool village. It was further resolved that an application would be made to the Community Infrastructure Levy funding which was now open, for the creation of the path needed to run from the rear village hall car park to the cemetery. Mill Lane, from the B3254 heading down to Bathpool was also discussed due to the continual flooding during bad weather. The lane has now been reported to Highways who are going to look to complete repairs as soon as possible and seek a more long term solution post April 2026.

Cornwall Council ward member councillor Adrian Parsons shared a lengthy report including updates in relation to Mill Lane, Highways in general and Community Infrastructure Levy Funding.
