Time after time, the St Piran's flag, the national flag of Cornwall, is raised on the Great Treverbyn Tip just above St Austell, locally known as the Sky Tip, the Pyramid, or Cornish Alps.

Time after time, the flag is taken removed to show that trespassing is not acceptable, understandably so.

This local landmark of the St Austell Bay area and local clay villages acts as a symbol of our great heritage and history in providing China Clay to the world, and has become part of our identity in Cornwall, even having calls to be considered a UNESCO heritage site.

Our national flag of St Piran, provides a true sense of nationality and highlights the impact the Cornish people have had on the world's stage, through mining, fishing, tourism, food, culture and history.

Having our national flag, fly tall on the highest landmark in the area, seen for miles around by land and sea, not only reinforces this, but also acts as a beacon for all who pass it.  Much in the way of the 'Coming Home Trees' on the Cookworthy Knapp in Devon acts as a beacon for Cornish travellers returning home to Cornwall, that the lands of home are near.

After asking Imerys, to help us fly our flag on our historical monument, a testament to the work and toil of Cornish souls throughout generations, they have incredibly agreed to look into the possibility of raising a flagpole on the site.

This is not without regulations that have to be met to reach our common goal in a safe manner as our modern world is always ruled by the red tape of bureaucracy.

So now, after Imerys have reached out and will review and help if they can, I now turn to our County Council, to stand with it's people and help get our small, yet bold flag, to stand proud on the Great Treverbyn Tip for all to enjoy and be reminded why this is our Cornwall, and why this is our home.

Council's are run for the people, and by the people, now the people ask that they are listened to.

Thank you for your time and consideration, cheers n gone!
