(In reverse order – latest tweet at the top).
Pz has a choice, back option A or it’s Falmouth. What will those in PZ do now?
Option A is still the proposed option by CC’s Cabinet. Option C will not be pursued. Falmouth is a fall back option.
Looks like Cabinet is supporting Option A. No motion as yet but all Cabinet have spoken in favour of Option A
Cllr Toms says it’s been a good debate where all Cllrs have been able to speak if they wanted. I agree with him.
You may not agree with Cllr Hicks, but he believes in what he says is right for Cornwall and Pz
Discusion has decended into Political Tit-for-tat. Not a good move. Lots of mentions of standards board thrown about
Cllr Hicks claim there has been a vicious campaign against this plan. He says Option C is not cost effective
Leader has closed further question. We may get a Cabinet Decision soon
Hope everyone is being kept in the loop over the Route Partnership for Penzance
Head Lawyer says if application is resubmitted he will do everything in his powers to make sure no Cllr hasn’t predetermined themselves
Cllr Hicks says Cllr Biscoe is talking a lot of rubbish. (Biscoe had asked for a meeting with all sides and no preconditions)
Route partnership. Penzance to Isles of Scilly link. Discussions continue at Cabinet meeting this afternoon.
Cllr Varney says Falmouth would be able to deliver the link. Emotive speech from the Falmouth Member
@RobNolanTruro Cabinet is spending the money, not the Council
Cllr Fonk asked why all the interested Parties have not met together at the SAME time. Good Point
Officer says it would take to the end of the year to work up a business case for Falmouth link
Councillor Bain speaks, shame it’s not During CSF items!
Alledged figure of £2.5m will be lost to Pz if no link. Statement made by a Cabinet Member
Head of Planning says Application should be submitted as a new Application to Strat Plan if Cabinet wants to press ahead with Option A
Route Partnership is now being discussed
Public Questions all about Route Partnership. All the same Questions with all the same answers
CC vision plan will not be called in because of lack of evidence. Backroom revolt in the air
Waves to all the Twitter Gang at today’s CC Cabinet meeting

RobNolanTruro tweeted -
“Cllr Fonk condems Council for spending £250k looking at Falmouth, money that could be spent resolving matters in Penzance.”
“Armand Toms says he and Graeme Hicks are to blame for rents mess last year.”
“Leader just said that we don’t mind hiring in expertise but we don’t want them full time and that he is against consultants. ROFL”
“Officers confirm consultants will probably be used on Bodmin office plans”
