Council News in Brief – September 2026
Written by: Ben Jackson
Administration and Finance Role
The council are looking to hire a part-time Administration & Finance Assistant with Planning Support, working 30 hours per week on a permanent contract. The role involves providing friendly, customer-facing support at the public counter, handling calls and emails, maintaining accurate records, assisting with invoices and financial administration, and supporting the Planning Committee with agendas and enquiries. They’re looking for a highly organised, helpful team player who enjoys working with the public and wants to be part of a friendly, cheerful team.
Youth Support Survey
The council are asking residents to complete a survey about the future of youth support in the parish, including what services they value and how much Council funding they would be prepared to support. The Parish Youth Project, delivered with Young People Cornwall since 2015, has supported more than 2,000 local young people through safe sessions, activities, mentoring and individual support. The project costs around £39,000 a year, but its main National Lottery funding has not been renewed for 2026/27, meaning the service could be reduced or cease without alternative funding. The Council currently contributes £5,000 and is seeking residents’ views on whether it should increase its contribution.
