Falmouth BID goes to Westminster
On Tuesday this week, Richard Gates, Town Manager and Richard Wilcox, BID Manager were in London to attend an open meeting of a parliamentary group looking at the future of Town Centres. I asked Richard Wilcox if he would explain more about their visit and the event.
So will we see Mary Portas in Falmouth? Time will tell, meantime, there’s plenty of effort going into making sure that Falmouth retains its positive feeling despite the well reported economic problems we face.

Update on Tax and Financial Matters
Colin Truscott is a partner in Lang Bennetts, Truro and Falmouth based Chartered Acountants and he joined me in the studio for our regular update on matters relating to tax, finance and to running your business effectively. We started with Self Assessment tax deadlines (paper 31 October, online 31st January), changes to late payment rules and other penalty issues, current trading conditions and legislation.

Local Press Campaigns
Packet Publisher Jonathan Perkins joined me to talk about two campaigns being run through the Packet Series of newspapers. First Local Business Accelerators, a national campaign which the Packet will be featuring strongly and Council Tax Defaulters – a campaign to identify Cornwall Councillors whose Council Tax was not paid in time and resulted in court proceedings.
