To help us get the changes we want for the future

Summary  

The majority of people who live in Grampound do so because it is a close and friendly community, set in beautiful surroundings. We like its sense of community and its history, plus the access to unspoiled countryside.

The questionnaire has shown that we would like to do more to preserve and promote our village—we are proud of it and want other people to know how lucky we are to live here!

More than anything, we would like less traffic, and a bypass would solve many of the problems highlighted in this document. Since this is not an option, we have made many alternative suggestions as to how we can keep the village safe and thriving, while reducing traffic impact.

We want to promote and preserve our environment, both natural, by the provision of new walks and paths, and historical, by restoring our Town Hall and cross and publicising our history.

We want young people to be able to stay in the village they were born in, by providing affordable housing and keeping our school for the next generation of Grampound

We want to be able to enjoy our leisure time and for our children to have more to do in the village, and we'd like to do this by providing facilities and training and sports.

We want a lot—but with the right help and the support of everyone in the community, we believe we can do it!

Thank You All

The Regeneration Committee June 2003
