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.

Bolventor - Salt & Grit Bin

The salt & grit bin on the bus stop hardstanding is not being used as we hoped. The salt is being removed and wasted on the hardstanding in the process. Hopefully all residents will have each others best interests in mind and this resource will not be treated indiscriminately and only be lightly used as necessary for everyone's safety in such an exposed environment.

If abused the Parish Council will have no alternative but to consider it's removal.
