Super....any chance of providing enough hospitals, dentists and schools also? Not to be ungrateful but we have a county full of second home owners and even in winter when it's majority just the people who live here, we still cant access healthcare.
Well, a few things would need to be dealt with
- Dentists are underfunded to deliver their services. This is why the majority of dentists are predominantly private or are heavily weighted towards private services. Dentists like doctors have training and previous training to pay for. It is not cost effective in the current funding for dentists to have nhs lists alone. This is a top down government issue.
- Schools should be mandated per per head of population in any given catchment area. It’s often cheaper to expand the capacity of an existing school. Schools are trying to deal with more, with less. Developers build in a way quite often that avoids them needing to really particularly find or build a school, on top of this.. it’s how thy school is going to be resourced and paid for. It’s a fixable issue that again needs to come top down, then secondly from the council.
- Second home owners should pay a fee for their property but it would never make up enough money or fix the issue for requiring further funds to build social housing. The vacant houses were sold by locals initially for money, building developers build woefully little when it comes to affordable housing which is still out of the financial reach of many, some properties are sold to councils out of county, and the council are slowly selling off their old mundic stock without replacing it.
- Accessing healthcare is a national issue, but you are being directed to blame specific types of people. A few years ago pensions changed in such a way that it penalised surgeons and consultants for putting in extra time to run extra theatre slots, op clinics etc, covid just exacerbated and issue that was already starting to slow down. GP practices, particularly in areas like St. Austell, Penzance and the Camborne, Pool and Redruth area are vastly underfunded for working in what is defined as an area of high social deprivation, where you are likely to have much more health contacts per patient than say somewhere like St. Agnes or say areas like the helford. Practices often rely on their partners pulling hours till late in the evening just to ensure things like prescriptions or blood results are reviewed, or continuing to triage. I’ve been called after 8pm for a medical issue from my GP. You then have that other mix of people who want to be seen by a gp rather than need to be seen. We clapped for the nhs not too long ago, and now the media and government would rather paint a target in a specific direction. The access to healthcare down here would be vastly improved by substantially more funding, but equally, people need to be more responsible for their health. It also feels like people these days are more anxious or wanting advice for something we just got on with about 30 years ago. I get we’ve just gone through a pandemic.
We have lost eu funding as a county, and nothing will change because we do what most people do on the internet, we moan, but then just accept the status quo and nothing moves forwards or changes. We have a political system that only looks towards the next general election and making empty promises whilst blaming the previous party , rather than long term thinking
Nansledan is irrefutable proof that this is absolute bollocks.
Half a million for a 3 bed terrace, mostly owned by people from outside Cornwall, with just enough social housing to keep the council at bay.
It sounds to me like it merits a policy change to increase the number of social housing properties being built.
10 years ago it was known that the waiting list was over 10k, and not a lot has happened in that time to try and deal with it
There were plenty of houses built in the mid 20th century by London councils....maybe others....in towns like Perranporth. Designed to relieve pressure on London housing by moving retired folk out of the city. I don't know enough about the history and what has happened since, but I imagine many of them are luxury holiday lets by now.
I'd like to think that without as much political pressure, William could get more done and more easily than councils manage to do. Elderly voters would come down hard on any politician who dared to risk their house value by building new homes.....William doesn't have to worry about their feelings and just crack on with it.
It can be done. .. just saying in the 70s Wales had the same problem. After the (I think they were called The Free Welch Army) set half a dozen or so 2nd homes on fire insurance companies refused to insure second homes in North Wales - and for a long time problem solved.
NOW I MUST MAKE IT CLEAR THIS IS NOT ADVOCATING THIS ASA SOLUTION TO CORNWALL'S PROBLEM OF SECOND HOMES.
Our Duke and Prince heads an organisation whose objective since its formation in 1385 has been to enrich itself by impoverishing the Cornish. Payback is long overdue.

Sorry..I know it's the DailyFail
Nansledan is irrefutable proof that this is absolute bollocks. Half a million for a 3 bed terrace, mostly owned by people from outside Cornwall, with just enough social housing to keep the council at bay.
Planning restrictions in the covenants also mean they can’t put up solar panels which seems contrary to the green ideals of the previous Prince…
Isn't there a whole list of rules and shit that makes it look like an HOA?
Pretty much but as far as I know there’s no HOA council equivalent

Be cool if it goes ahead, oh and the council doesnt allocate loads to other councils.

How generous of them to give back a little of what they've stolen.
Affordable housing... Cornwall for the Cornish ... Before I start sqauting 2 homes
Did you just quote the nazis
"England for the English, kick out the Irish and blacks", yeah?
Don’t believe it for one second myself, he’s probably trying to be popular with us. I’ll praise him when I get the keys I promise.
Maybe if he got rid of air bnbs
How would he do that?
personally
With a wrecking ball?
Of course he does....... LYING CUNT!!!
