Welcome to the website of Altarnun Parish Council 

The parish of Altarnun lies on the eastern side of Bodmin Moor and covering 15,014 acres is the largest in Cornwall. From rugged moorland in the west, to the unspoilt villages of Altarnun and Bolventor, which boasts the world renowned Jamaica Inn, onto picturesque hamlets and farmland in the east, the heart-warming diversity of rural Cornwall is reflected here. As an immensely proud community we endeavour to protect, preserve and improve our environment for the benefit of all. Recently this has included influencing the provision of sufficient affordable housing for local people, road safety and traffic management improvements, installing a public access defibrilator at Five Lanes and building public conveniences in Altarnun and a bus shelter in Bolventor.

Are your child's vaccinations up to date for school?

Photo of Vaccines For Life - Routine vaccination reminder

Before your child starts school, it's important to make sure their vaccinations are up to date.

By the time they reach reception class, they should have had their 4-in-1 pre-school booster that provides continued protection against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, and polio.

They should also have had their second MMR vaccination, which provides protection from measles, mumps, and rubella.

If you're not sure whether your child has had any, one, or two doses of the MMR vaccine, you can check their personal child health record (the Red Book).

If you're still unsure, speak to your GP. It's better to have two doses of the MMR vaccine now rather than leaving your child unprotected.

Remember, it's important that vaccinations are given on time for the best protection.
