The issue of cars parking for too long in Helston town centre has been raised by a concerned resident who fears it could affect trade for shops. At their most recent meeting, two weeks ago, the town’s councillors were asked to consider a letter from a member of the public, although in fact the letter was dated December 15, before the introduction of the third lockdown. With restrictions due to ease in stages from later this month, however, councillors considered the concerns and if action should be taken. In the letter the unnamed resident wrote: “Since there has been dearth of traffic wardens patrolling Helston’s streets I have noticed in the town that numerous cars park almost all day in Meneage Street and Coinagehall Street – some of which, presumably, are owned by people living in flats above shops and some of which appear to be shopkeepers themselves.
