NCDC Redundancy Support Information Booklet

Have you been affected by redundancy? The NCDC Redundancy Support Information Booklet has been compiled by NCDC and partner organisations working together for the benefit of local people to provide a comprehensive range of information and services to the community in times of need and ensure that help is available to everyone affected by redundancy.

Clearly, no booklet can provide all the answers, nor can it on its own allay fears and anxieties of people facing an uncertain future. It does however provide the contact details of organisations that can help together with a brief summary of the types of services available.  

Please also remember that whilst every effort has been made to ensure the contents are correct when going to press, changes in regulations may make the booklet become gradually less accurate. Always check details with the specialist agencies. A list of website addresses and telephone numbers for all the organisations mentioned in this booklet, and other useful contacts, can be found at the back of the booklet

Public Invited To Suggest Sites For Potential Development

North Cornwall District Council is now providing the opportunity for people to suggest potential development sites that might be suitable for a housing scheme of 5 or more dwellings.

The Methodology and site forms for the SHLAA process are available to view and download from the Council's website

One form should be completed for each site, however if not all information on a site is known, any details would be welcomed. Each form must however be accompanied by a map with the site clearly marked on it. The Council will not be able to include a site in the Assessment without this information.

The Council recommends that you read the methodology before completing a form.

Completed forms should be returned to the Council by Friday 30^th January 2009, at the following address:
