NO TO PASTY TAX!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!


PASTY TAX!

Now I really like a pasty and I like the bugger ot,
an a pasty often cost me all the cash that I have got.

So if the bleddy gummunt add on the VEEAYTEE
I shent be able t'ave one fer me dinner or me tea!

Tes more than jes a pie you see, an more than jes a treat,
tes a bit of Cornish Culture that meks life a bit mor sweet.

We bin eating them fer centuries so I spec we went stop now
but we'll remember next election, how you taxed our favourite chow!

From Lands End to the Tamar I hope you all will note,
not a Libral Dem ner Tory should get a single vote!

I knaw our George and Andrew voted right on pasty tax
an this is nothing persnal, but this pome you can take back

to David bleddy Cameron, and George bleddy Osborne too,
that tax upon our culture and identity won't do!

Repeal this hated Pasty Tax and do us all a favour,
So we can buy the pasties that add to Cornwall's flavour.

Cornwall is a special place I think we all agree
We deserve our pasties and we want them Duty Free!

New Cornwall Archive and Record Centre..HAYLE??

Proposed Site
Cornwall needs a new Archive and record Centre, as the current location in the basements under old County Hall is bursting at the seams and money is being spent on renting other space as well.

A NEW Centre is to be built, in purpose built new complex to all the necessary modern standards needed for proper storage of Archive material.

 Communities in Cornwall were invited to apply to be the location for the new Archive, and Cornwall Councillor John Pollard submitted a bid for Hayle, based on the unsurfaced car park opposite Jewsons by the viaduct, currently owned by ING who are very keen on the proposals.

Among the requirements are that the site is handy for private and public transport by road, rail and bus, and Hayle definitely qualifies there!

Thiks could also be a case where Hayle Foundry being a conservation area and part of the World Heritage site could be an advantage!

It has just been announced that, from 38 applications, HAYLE IS IN THE FINAL SHORTLIST OF THREE!!

Hayle Outdoor Swimming Pool Support

HAYLE OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL SUPPORT GROUP MEETING FRIDAY 13TH APRIL 7.30 pm at Hayle Community Centre, Queensway, Hayle!!!!!!!!

All welcome, we have formed as a community group independent of Hayle Town Council, (but supported by them) and anyone who wants to help or support the pool or just sit and listen is welcome!

Last Wednesday's meeting with the Town Council had an encouraging turn out of potential supporters and a "show of hands" gave unanimous support to keeping the pool going!

Lots of people threw in their ideas and opinions and some really encouraging ideas surfaced.

Please keep the momentum going and come to the Friday 13th meeting ...and bring a friend!
