Key Features:

    No one likes disruptions to their journey, but now you’ll be able to keep up to date with service changes directly inside the app. Track your bus in real-time and stay informed.
  • Plan your journey
    Work out your daily commute or tomorrow’s trip to the shops. With over 11,000 locations to search for, there’s plenty to keep you busy.

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.
