Maria Ellis and myself have just attended the meeting of St Ives town council. They unanimously voted to challenge the decision to cut the policing of this area. The Mayor (Linda Taylor) is going to meet with The Association of Police and Crime Commissioners and the MPs and get clarification on why these cuts are being made. Councillors were concerned that the numbers have been cut from 40 to 5 and will still be cut further. The mayor referred to two Street Marshalls having to deal with a drunken, drugged and violent person armed with a knife just last weekend. Assistance was called but it took 40 minutes for it to arrive from Camborne. Maria Ellis will break down on this post, the structure of policing in Hayle and St Ives 5 years ago and what it is now. Maria's son was one of the Street Marshalls involved in the incident at the weekend.

Nick Farrar The next available meeting that this topic could be discussed will be 1st of September, I will try to get this added to the agenda.
I will contact the Town Clerk and ask.
The council doesn't sit during August unless there are outstanding planning applications that need attention, so unfortunately we will have to wait until then.
Any member of the public is invited to attend a meeting. There is always a time before we enter the meeting proper for the public to address the council on any matter.

Nick Farrar That's great, but it's not the Town Council you need to lobby we are already campaigning, we have already written letters and I am meeting a representative from D&C Police on Monday to speak about this very subject , it's the Conservative MPs, and the PCC that need to be informed

Nick Farrar Sorry but there is a difference between pcso and special constables

From the Ugov website

Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and special constables
Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) work with police officers and share some, but not all of their powers. Special constables are volunteers who have the same powers as police.
PCSOs
A PCSO can, for example:

give someone a fixed-penalty notice, eg for littering
demand the name and address of someone being anti-social
take alcohol off a person aged under 18
A PCSO can also ask a police officer to arrest a person.

The power of PCSOs can differ between police forces.

They must wear a uniform clearly marked ‘PCSO’.

Special Constables
Special Constables are volunteers but have the same powers as police officers.

Sylvia Taylor
Sylvia Taylor It should be noted that the Devon & Cornwall Police and Crime Commissioner has chosen to increase its element of the Council Tax by 1.99% and that we pay on average £150 per annum to the Police and Crime Commissioner. Whilst that was acceptable when we had 20 Response Officers I don't feel that amount is justified for just 3.
