North Hill Parish Council

Welcome to the website organised and maintained by North Hill Parish Council, we hope you find it useful. The objective of the site is to provide information about the activities of the council and relay information and support available from Cornwall County Council.

Vacancies for Councillors

North Hill Parish Council has a capacity of ten seats, seven posts were filled in an uncontested election on 6 May and Mervyn Stephens has been co-opted on therefore there are two vacancies that can filled by co-opting other councillors in. If you are interested in applying to take up one of the vacant posts please contact the Parish Clerk before the June meeting of the Parish Council.

Updated Proposals for new Parish Cemetery at North Hill

North Hill Parish Council would like to consult the residents of North Hill in relation to the new proposed Parish Cemetery. The Parish Council have highlighted two options on a map that can be viewed on the Notice Board under the Parish Council tab and wish to hear your comments. Preliminary feedback indicates that the red area is the preferred option and this proposal is being backed by the Parish Council. If this option continues to gain support it is unlikely that a site meeting will be necessary, if you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact Adele Jones at northhillparishcouncil@btinternet.com or speak to any one of your Councillors.

Rural Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme (Rural GBVS)

Gigabit-capable broadband connections offer the fastest and most reliable speeds available, and the Government is committed to a vision of a digitally connected Britain.

Homes and businesses in rural areas of the UK may be eligible for funding towards the cost of installing gigabit-capable broadband when part of a group scheme.

Rural premises with broadband speeds of less than 100Mbps can use vouchers worth £1,500 per home and up to £3,500 for each small to medium-sized business (SME) to support the cost of installing new fast and reliable connections.

Superfast Cornwall is encouraging businesses and residents that are beyond any existing superfast broadband rollout plans to apply to this scheme.

John McLeod from Bathpool has offered to co-ordinate the efforts of anyone who wishes to be involved in this scheme, please send your name and email address to mcleod@btinternet.com
