As Cornwall Council continues to toe the absurd and flawed government line, Persimmon Homes and other large national house-builders make hundreds of millions out of building unsustainable, unaffordable, ugly and cheaply-built lego boxes all over Cornwall's natural beauty. "Persimmon homeowners in Newquay warn would-be buyers with signs" www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-44879858 "Persimmon hit by investor revolt over executive pay" www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43891134 "Fat cat Thursday' as top bosses' pay overtakes UK workers" www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-42559224 But when we have Cornwall Councilors that continue to peddle lies about housing targets, welcome thousands of new homes for Cornwall every single year, refuse to link new homes with car usage (despite every new home having car ports and garages!) and generally are happy with the status quo "because we have less congestion than in, say, Reading, Basingstoke or Milton Keynes", then the current nine AQMAs* are likely to grow to many more; their names? Councillor Bob Egerton (Probus), Mike Eathorne (Trispen), Tim Dwelly (Penzance), etc... Meanwhile, senior council officers take no responsibility, because they are only "obeying orders". *AQMA:- Air Quality Management Area, where Nitrogen Oxide gases are above officially permitted levels for people's health There are currently nine official AQMAs in Cornwall, where your kids and elderly relatives are being gradually poisoned on a daily basis: Redruth, Camborne and Pool Bodmin Camelford Grampound Gunnislake Launceston St Austell Tideford Truro Towns & villages # of Supporters for this petition: Penzance-Newlyn-Helston-St Ives-Hayle 857 Redruth-Pool-Camborne 789 Truro-Threemilestone-Roseland-Chacewater 662 Bodmin-Liskeard-Wadebridge-Launceston-Bude-Saltash 631 St Austell-Clay Country-Lostwithiel-Fowey-Par 564 Newquay-Quintrell Downs-Perranporth-St Agnes 467 Falmouth-Penryn-Mawnan-Mylor 394 CORNWALL 4365 Cornish expats / Others: 1960 (of which) Exeter/Other Devon 130 Plymouth 119 London 86 Bristol/Bath/Gloucester/West Country 83 Cardiff/Wales 70 Edinburgh/Glasgow/Scotland 57 USA/Canada 60 Australia/NZ 49 France/Spain/Italy 46 Total (18-07-2018) 6325
