DOG AWARENESS AND RESPONSIBILITY.
The Parish Council has received further complaints about some dogs running loose and fouling on and immediately in front of residents properties in the Churchtown area.
This is unnacceptable!
The dogs in question have been identified and yet again we respectfully request their owners take immediate steps to ensure their dogs are contained on their own property.
A dog is frequently observed walking alone along the road in Churchtown and sometimes interacting with the recycling bags. This dog has also been observed running in and out of the main thoroughfare through the village, which not only endangers the dogs life but could also impact on the safety of others. The owners need to be aware that in the event the dog causes an accident they could be liable for costs and at worse prosecution.
We would draw your attention to the Dog Welfare and Enforcement page on Cornwall Councils website where there is a lot of useful information. There are specific laws that apply to dogs which owners should adhere to and include the following:
1. All dogs must be microchipped and listed on a National Register.
2. You must not let your dog out from your property, on its own at any time.
3. All dogs must, when out, wear a collar with a disc containing the owners contact details.
4. If your dog fouls in an area with public access, you are required, by law, to clean it up and properly dispose of it. Failure to do so will result in a fixed penalty of £100.
5. Owners are required to always keep their dogs under control.
Dog Wardens and other Enforcement Team members have the authority to issue Public Spaces Protection Orders and Fixed Penalties.
The Parish Council have a duty to act on the behalf of all residents within the Parish of Tresmeer.
We recognise that most dog owners act in a responsible manner and hope that this issue will be dealt with by those accountable and that we will not be required to take further action.
BONFIRES
Just a polite reminder for anyone planning a bonfire.
Although not illegal to have a bonfire in your garden there are rules and guidelines that should be followed.
RULES
Safety is an important factor
1. Do not leave a lit bonfire unattended.
2. Burning rubber, oil, plastic or paint cans violates environmental protection laws and can cause significant health issues.
3. Do not use fire accelerants, these can cause the fire to become uncontrollable.
4. It is against the law to allow smoke to drift onto a public highway due to the significant danger it poses and you can be fined £5000.
5. Do not leave drink cans around the fire as the fumes from the aluminium is toxic.
6. Prior to leaving the fire ensure all flames and embers are fully extinguished.
GUIDELINES
Consideration for your neighbours is an important factor
1. Keep bonfires away from outbuildings, trees and fencing.
2. Consider wildlife, prior to lighting check for hedgehogs etc which may be under mounds of earth and leaves.
3. Avoid windy days and be aware of wind direction which could cause smoke in your neighbours garden.
4. Discuss with your neighbours if you plan a bonfire and be considerate. People are entitled to enjoy their outside space especially when the weather is good and it allows them to bring washing in.
5. Time your bonfire to be considerate to others , early morning or early evening are more appropriate.
6. Avoid burning damp or green matter as this causes excess smoke.
7. Dont leave bonfires burning for long periods. They should be finished and extinguished by dusk.
HELP REQUIRED.

We are delighted to receive your incredibly kind donation of £250.00 to Cornwall Air Ambulance. In 2023, your Critical Care Team attended to a staggering 1,160 missions throughout Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. When every minute matters, your wonderful contribution plays a vital role in ensuring that your crew can swiftly respond to those when they need it the most. Tresmeer Parish Council's continued support is fantastic, especially at this time as we all struggle with increased costs. Please do pass on our sincere thanks and best wishes to all the Councillors. In 2024 so far, our crew has been tasked to 9 missions in the wider area of Tresmeer. I hope this demonstrates not only how important your donation is for our life-saving work but also the impact it has on your local residents. Thank you on behalf of our Crew and all our future patients; for them and their families your support of our work is priceless. With our continued thanks and best wishes, Rachel
A thank you letter has also been received from Launceston Leisure Centre
