Final Chance to Say NO to Devonwall!

On 5th December, 2016, the unelected quango, the Boundaries Commission will stop taking public views on Devonwall.

Between now and then is YOUR last chance to join hundreds of others, including Town and Parish Councils, campaign groups, Cornwall Councillors and many other members of the public who have objected to this gerrymandering of Cornwall's 1,100 year old border.

Please take this opportunity to register your disapproval!

Welsh wildlife campaigners have welcomed the Scottish government announcement last week that the Eurasian beaver is to be formally recognised as a native species, four centuries after being hunted to extinction in Scotland. Lead partners in the Scottish Beaver Trial, the Scottish Wildlife Trust and the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) hailed the decision as a major success story for conservation.

Today's protest outside the Liskeard Constituency Office of Sherryl Murray MP.

It is a very rare occasion indeed that people in Cornwall stand outside an MPs office and protest about that sitting MP.
