Local residents are invited to attend a public meeting to discuss current projects and future plans for the parish of Penzance. Organised by Penzance Council and taking place in St John’s Hall on Monday 20 April 2026 at 7:00pm, this year’s Annual Town Meeting will include updates on key projects and offer members of the community the opportunity to ask questions.
This year, Penzance Council will be joined by Penzance BID and Jubilee Pool who will be giving updates on the town centre and the iconic saltwater lido. Other topics covered will include anti-social behaviour, Penzance’s bid for UK Town of Culture, the new Coach House Café, and Penzance Council’s 2026/27 budget.
In the wake of Storm Goretti and other storms that caused disruption in recent months, a representative from Cornwall Council will also give a presentation to outline the Mounts Bay Coastal Resilience Strategy.
The Annual Town Meeting is a chance for residents to get an overview of the work of Penzance Council from the past year, as well as hearing about plans for the future. It is also an opportunity for the public to raise matters with the Council and ask questions during a Q&A session following the presentations.
Residents of Penzance Parish including Newlyn, Mousehole, Paul, Heamoor, Gulval and Eastern Green, can submit questions to Penzance Council ([email protected]) in advance of the meeting, or are welcome to ask questions at the event following the presentations. A summary of all questions and responses will be published on our website after the meeting.
