Higher Newlyn

Higher Newlyn

I like where I live because:

  • Views, parking 
  • Good views 
  • Its quiet, good neighbours, access to open countryside, lovely part of the world 
  • Has a community, easy access to green space and shops. Reasonable diversity of housing 
  • Open vistas, fair bus service (no. 1 & 5 
  • Quiet 
  • Of friendly neighbours 
  • It’s close to town and also close to countryside – if you don’t mind negotiating Paul Hill its perfect! 
  • Access to fields and is on the verge of town 
  • It is a fishing community very close and look after each other 
  • It is quiet, open 
  • So quiet and peaceful, little traffic 
  • Views 
  • Newlyn is beautiful. Very quaint, very historic and has a mostly permanent community. We don’t suffer too much from St Ives winter desertion! It needs protection & promotion to keep its charm. 
  • It is where I was born and bought up, I am very fond of Newlyn and surrounding area 
  • It is a reasonable cul-de-sac with decent neighbours 
  • The views and near my family 
  • Convenient to town, beautiful views and countryside. Low risk of being flooded 
  • Was born in Newlyn, close family links, view 
  • I live in the countryside, also in walking distance to the sea 
  • We have nice views over Mounts Bay 
  • One good neighbour 
  • I like the views, and it was a real local community

I don’t like where I live because:

  • No provisional shops nearby. Buses aren’t always on time 
  • Chywoone Hill – too much traffic and often blocked 
  • Have to travel the increasingly frustrating Paul Hill (Chywoone Hill) 
  • Chywoone Hill congestion, exposed and windy 
  • Congestion on Chywoone Hill 
  • It is windy, very steep hill 
  • Parking 
  • Parking! It is already overcrowded and people are applying to build more housing. Any waste ground to be converted to residents parking? 
  • Steep Hill 
  • The steep hill makes a short trip to the post office harder, although I find it manageable, others don’t 
  • Parking on Chywoone Hill – no one patrols yellow lines! Parking/driving nightmare. New builds also making problems with parking. 
  • I live on a housing estate and it can be noisy at times 
  • No parking 
  • It has gone down hill in the 55 years my family have lived here 
  • Too many up country people on drugs trying to takeover

What would you most like to change about where you live:

  • Noisy motorcyclists, barking dogs 
  • Have a local shop within walking distance 
  • Better access to Newlyn, improved sewerage 
  • Traffic flows on Paul Hill (Chywoone Hill) particularly in the holiday season 
  • The traffic flow on Paul Hill – a new road from Ring & Thimble going around Tredavoe Village would suit 
  • Improve Chywoone Hill 
  • More double yellow lines near top of Paul Hill where cars park on both sides of the road making passing very often a nightmare 
  • I’m happy with it as it is. Would not wish for further development 
  • No 
  • Bigger garden 
  • Make PZ town centre car free and enforce one way system! 
  • Make it residents parking only. People park here and leave their vehicle for 2 weeks not moving it 
  • I would love to see Newlyn develop it’s Art History side, preserving what it has and promoting art trails through interactive media. Would also be nice to have a few more shops. Also continue with development of sea front gardens as wildlife space. Don’t make it too commercial though 
  • Better public transport, more work done keeping area clean and tidy. Fostering community spirit 
  • For the Councils to service (i.e. trim) the lanes behind our houses, Penwith used to look after these lanes but this useless unitary Council aren’t interested 
  • 1) A local skip service so that people don’t dump rubbish (i.e. bus stop at Newlyn board school stop) 2) More action against people who don’t pick up their dogs excrement 
  • Stop additional building, make parking on hill better – more double yellow and more monitoring of them. Better/cheaper bus routes 
  • More parking spaces. You cannot park outside your own home at night 
  • Housing estates need to be updated 
  • Clean up estate 
  • More visible police presence as rowdy at night. Cars parking on pavement. Inconsiderate parking 
  • Get rid of drug users and dealers from local housing association properties.
