The event was held at the Town Council offices on Buller Road in Torpoint and representatives from NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, Community 1st Cornwall, Rame Group Practice and Community Health Around Torpoint (CHAT) were on hand to answer questions and collect the views of local people.

Copmmunity 1st Cornwall would like to thank everyone who took the time to attend and share their views.

Equity Solutions Property Services Limited (ESPSL), the property management company for the building, was informed of the problem at the commencement of the working day and representatives were on site within minutes to survey and assess the situation. 

Arrangements were immediately made by ESPSL for a tree surgeon to attend site and safely remove the offending limb and this work was concluded by 1pm the same day. Once the limb had been removed the area was re-inspected and no damage to the building was found.

Community 1st Cornwall would like to thank ESPSL for their prompt response and resolution of the problem.

Choices for a changing world…

All our worlds are changing. We have to provide more for less and we have to do this in the most challenging of circumstances. We’d like to talk about how we can help each other.

The Equity Solutions Group is a responsible service provider and partner, investing in infrastructure projects and partnerships that make a difference. We are the long term private sector partner in three LIFT areas – Cornwall, Oldham and Sheffield – through our joint venture companies, Community 1st, where we are working with our public sector partners to overcome their estate challenges to help them provide the right services in the right place, in ‘fit for purpose’ facilities which help transform local communities.

Contact us to discuss your requirements or sign up for regular updates on the latest Government policy changes and how our services can help you.

No matter what choices you need to make, we will offer an independent view.

The SARC is the first of its kind for Cornwall and enables adult victims to be taken to a centre focussed on their needs. Crucially, it gathers and records evidence for use in prosecutions, either immediately or at a later date, as many victims in violent relationships can be subjected to years of abuse before deciding to report.

The Willow Centre based at Truro Health Park is the first such centre to be run by Victim Support. The Princess Royal is the charity’s patron and visited the SARC yesterday to mark its official opening and unveil a plaque to be mounted in the centre.

Also present were the Mayor of Truro, SARC Manager Sharon Minty and MP Sarah Newton.

 A range of people were on hand to answer questions, including representatives from Community 1st Cornwall, NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, Community Health Around Torpoint (CHAT) and Rame Group Practice staff.

Comments collected at the event, as well as from a questionnaire, will be used to help plan the proposed new health centre and the services it offers.

A new health centre at Trevol Business Park in Torpoint is being proposed, to house local primary and community healthcare services, a pharmacy and mental health services.

Local residents are being asked to provide their views on the proposals via a questionnaire, facebook page or at an engagement event.

The engagement event is taking place on Saturday 3rd December from 10am to 4pm in the Band Hut located in Sainsbury’s car park in Torpoint. A range of people will be on hand to answer questions, including representatives from Community 1st Cornwall, NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, Community Health Around Torpoint (CHAT) and Rame Group Practice staff.

The extension provides an additional 51 spaces, doubling the capacity of the existing car park, and was made possible by the kind donation of land by a neighbouring family.

The project is part of an ongoing programme of minor capital works carried out by Community 1st Cornwall to support NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly in providing much needed improvements for staff, GPs and patients.
