To receive a report on behalf of Safer Saltash

Minutes:

Councillor Lennox-Boyd gave a brief overview of the recent Safer Saltash meeting held on Wednesday 4th May 2022.

 

Anti-Social Behaviour

Councillor Lennox-Boyd spoke of the reduced crime rates in Saltash with the Anti-social Behaviour Officer reporting that there were no major concerns in the community.

 

Due to incidents being reported involving youths firing items in the cinder paths the local youth clubs have requested PCSO’s to attend the premises to talk to the youths. Currently there is a shortage of police presence in the community of Saltash.

 

It was proposed by Councillor Bickford, seconded by Councillor Foster and RESOLVED to delegate to the Acting Town Clerk liaising with the Chairman to write a letter to the police authority expressing concern of the reduced PCSO’s and police presence in Saltash.

 

Homeless

Councillor Lenox-Boyd reported on various contact procedures for those identifying a homeless person in need of assistance.

 

Due to the current process needing to be reported to Truro, St Petrocs, time spent on a waiting list prior to initial contact is proving to be excessive, potential 48-hour delay for a visit to take place. Saltash Baptist Church have kindly set up a dedicated line for the community of Saltash to report issues or concerns with the homeless named - Saltash Hope.

 

Reverend T Parkman offered to provide the Town Council the contact details for the local number upon confirmation it is active.

To receive a report from Cornwall Councillors

Minutes:

Councillor Worth gave a verbal update to Members.

 

Support for Energy Bills

Councillor Worth spoke of the mandatory scheme in which all band A-D properties will be given £150.00 Council Tax rebate towards their energy bills.

 

Councillor Worth confirmed there are 159,000 properties in Cornwall which pay their Council Tax by direct debit. Out of those 159,000 properties 139,000 were sent the £150.00 rebate last week.

 

Cornwall Council’s computer system raised questions on 20,000 properties of which 10,000 have now been resolved and will receive their rebate this week.

 

The remaining 10,000 properties which have been identified with concerns will be receiving a letter or email asking them for more information with the view to request further information via an online form.

 

If a property does not make payment for Council Tax via a Direct Debit but is still a taxpayer, they will also receive an email (if Cornwall Council has contact details) or a second class letter asking them to either fill in an online form or to contact Cornwall Council direct to provide payment details.

 

Cornwall Council aim to provide all Cornish residents who provide correct information with the mandatory rebate within the next 14 days.

 

Cornwall Council stated that by the 14th May 2022 all Cornish residents will either have received the rebate or will have been contacted for further information.

 

Councillor Worth emphasized that Cornwall Council will never call anyone and ask for their bank details on the telephone and requested all residents to be vigilant and aware of scams.

 

Discretionary Scheme

Councillor Worth spoke of the discretional scheme being provided by Cornwall Council. The aim is to have a website with further information available to residents up and running by 6th June 2022.

 

This scheme will be by application only, i.e. Cornwall Council will not be writing to residents or those eligible.

 

The scheme is to offer £150.00 grants to;

 

1.  Property in E to H where residents receive Council tax support

2.  Property in A to D if not liable to Council Tax and weekly earnings/pension below £450 and capital assets are below £6000.

 

Councillor Worth also confirmed that Cornwall Council are offering a further £20 grant to properties in bands A-D who are in receipt of Council Tax Support in addition to the £150.00 rebate.

Councillor Worth confirmed that Cornwall Council is the second fastest Council at getting this money out to those who use the Capita computer system, some Councils reporting that the mandatory rebate will not be paid to their residents until September.
