Cornwall Council has considered the proposals and is recommending ‘no change’ primarily on the grounds that the current Penzance parish, covering as it does the entire built-up area of Penzance, better facilitates delivery of services than a smaller core town centre parish with the surrounding built-up area broken into separate parishes. The Council’s recommendations are open to public consultation until 24 March.
The consultation programme is here .
All proposals for Penzance and West Penwith parishes (as submitted) can be found here.

- The proposer for creation of the new Newlyn Parish acknowledged at the public meeting in St John’s Hall on 27 Feb 2020 that proposals for a separate parish were not sufficiently developed and would be better deferred to the next Governance Review. This does not prevent electors in the parish from commenting idea in this consultation.
- Regarding Gulval, the consultation document refers to Madron making the proposal but it was made by GVCA (Gulval). Madron Parish Council decided to oppose it at their parish meeting on 6 Feb 2020.
