Roundabout Sponsorship

In April 2017 Falmouth Town Council entered into an agreement with Cornwall Council to take over the management of 5 roundabouts in and around Falmouth; reductions in Cornwall Council’s available budget would otherwise see a decline in the standard of maintenance, leaving them looking unkempt at best or in the worst-case scenario planting schemes would be removed and roundabouts returned to grass. 

Find out how you can sponsor a roundabout here!

Council Budget Setting

Unsurprisingly given the proximity of council elections, the Town Council has been made aware of misinformation regarding local funding that has been published.

To be clear: Falmouth Town Council has never set its budget in private. Nor has it ever limited any councillor or member of the public access to budget setting. That would not be legal. It is a participative process and all 16 councillors participated and decided budgets at meetings open to the public.

Make your voices heard: encouraging local residents to view and comment on Falmouth’s draft Neighbourhood Plan

If approved by local people, Falmouth's Neighbourhood Plan could set the town’s agenda for the next decade. The Plan’s aim is to limit inappropriate housing developments, protect vital open spaces, create a new green corridor and provide a powerful tool that will help councillors to repel planning applications that threaten the town’s future prosperity.
Following extensive community engagement during 2015 and 2016, Falmouth Town Council (FTC) has now published the first draft of its Neighbourhood Plan in a second phase of consultation that runs until Friday 17 February 2017.
