@CornishNews @sandycann2 @stacey_guthrie @Mark_Jenkin Finally, public protection wouod be able to visit and ensure safety of guests and neighbours etc

@MalcolmBellVC @sandycann2 @stacey_guthrie @Mark_Jenkin Yes, that could be helpful. Could you give some information first please on: a) What sort of controls and on which sectors (eg AirBnB, 2nd homes)? b) Who would be lobbied? c) How would controls be authorised & implemented?

@CornishNews @sandycann2 @stacey_guthrie @Mark_Jenkin There is a consulation due out in Nov be we wouod love Cornwall to pilot for 2021 as we dont want another year like this one

@CornishNews @sandycann2 @stacey_guthrie @Mark_Jenkin The 1969 Tourism Dev act as the potential to quickly enact a requirement for all accommodation to be registered ie hotels , airbnb, verbo, owners direct amd all properties including second homes that are rented out. Cwll Council would be the authority not VC

@CornishNews @sandycann2 @stacey_guthrie @Mark_Jenkin It would be good to havw a call or zoom as i do feel we are all on same page it is in no one interest to have over tourism - lets join forces to use all channels to lobby for controls - are you up for a call/zoom?

@MalcolmBellVC @sandycann2 @stacey_guthrie @Mark_Jenkin This doesn't stack up. It is an excuse used to deflect criticism. You are one of the best lobbyists in the country when making the case to attract tourists to Cornwall ... yet not successful when making the case over a number of years for much-needed registration.

@stacey_guthrie @sandycann2 @Mark_Jenkin Well not much point in extending this thread,as your mind is made up. The fact that we were the only tourist board to tell visitors not to come to Cornwall ahead of lockdown one or that we lobbied for only proven compliant accommodation should be allowed to open passed you by

@sandycann2 @stacey_guthrie @Mark_Jenkin I do give a toss and have been lobbying for registration system and even a licensing scheme for last few years as i care about Cornwall and our quality of life and environment.

@stacey_guthrie @MalcolmBellVC @Mark_Jenkin 🙄🙄 can’t be the real guy he doesn’t give a toss

@alfieadamjoe Nope

@MalcolmBellVC Hi Malcolm, did you attend Abbeywood school by any chance ?

Proud to be an Ambassador for Cornwall for more information go to Cornwall.uk #Cornwall

@Tredhek @ILoveCornwallUK @CornishNews I do not know and will have to see what happens this week and what the experts say - maybe the media should pay for an independent expert to review the data etc

@MalcolmBellVC @ILoveCornwallUK @CornishNews #Covid spike #Cornwall Tourists or #G7? Or locals? Give us your opinion Mr Bell

@MalcolmBellVC @IloveCornwallUK aka Visit Cornwall

@CornishNews It has been hard to get the Government to listen let alone engage in the debate -

"Lobbying for some time". This doesn't smack of urgency from Visit Cornwall which, acting for its members, is the most effective lobby organisation in Cornwall. @MalcolmBellVC, registration is needed this year, as well as a stringent tourism management plan (not just marketing)

Chancellor outlines Winter Economy Plan gov.uk/government/new… Good News but we will need the details as the devil can be in the detail

1/ Businesses who deferred their VAT will no longer have to pay a lump sum at the end of March next year. They will have the option of splitting it into smaller, interest free payments over the course of 11 months - benefitting up to half a million businesses

To continue supporting over 150,000 businesses and protect 2.4 million jobs, the Government has extended the 15% VAT cut for the tourism and hospitality sectors to the end of March next year.

Today, the Chancellor @RishiSunak will present our #WinterEconomyPlan to @UKParliament. Watch the live stream here. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Heritage Minister @HuddlestonNigel visited Redruth this week, one of the #HistoricHighStreets supported by funding from @DCMS, @MHCLG and @HistoricEngland We’re #HereForCulture of all kinds, in all communities historicengland.org.uk/whats-new/news…
