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 you eligible for pension credit?

People in Cornwall are missing out on extra money they could be entitled to. If you’re over State Pension age and on a low-income Pension Credit gives you extra money to help with the cost of living. Pension Credit can also help with housing costs such as ground rent or service charges.

You might get extra help if you’re a carer, severely disabled, or responsible for a child or young person. Pension Credit is separate from your State Pension and you can get it even if you have other income, savings or own your own home.

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.
