Save a local beach and logging break in Penzance

Cornwall County Council as part of the Route Partnership’s Isles of Scilly Link project wants to build a passenger terminal, freight depot and lorry park on Battery Rocks beach at Penzance.

At Route Partnership exhibitions in September 2008 and January 2009 close to 9 out of 10 people rejected the plans.

Why am I writing here about it? Apart from the obvious objections, of pouring concrete over a local beach, part of the plans will also dramatically effect one of the best local logging waves as a result of the harbour wall being extended. I hope you'll feel moved to object, the deadline for objections is March 26th, the Object Now Leaflet gives you details on how to object by post or online.
