PENZANCE residents are invited to an annual meeting about the future of the town.

Organised by Penzance Council and taking place in St John’s Hall on Monday, April 20 at 7pm, this year’s Annual Town Meeting will include updates on key projects and offer members of the community the opportunity to ask questions.

The council will be joined by Penzance BID and Jubilee Pool, who will be giving updates on the town centre and the saltwater lido. Other topics on the agenda 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 future plans. It is also an opportunity for the public to raise matters with the council and participate in a Q&A session following the presentations.

A spokesperson added: “Penzance Council continues to play a key role in a number of partnerships, all working across Penzance to not only face immediate challenges but to also look forward and deliver positive change for the parish and its communities.”

Residents of Penzance parish including Newlyn, Mousehole, Paul, Heamoor, Gulval and Eastern Green can submit questions to Penzance Council in advance of the meeting by emailing [email protected]

Questions are also welcome at the event following the presentations. A summary of all questions and responses will be published on the council’s website after the meeting.
