Save the Holy Headland, Penzance

We the undersigned call upon the Secretary of State for the Environment to honour the wishes of the overwhelming majority of townspeople and reject the Route Partnership Scheme proposal to build over and destroy Sandy Cove, the little beach at Battery Rocks, the heart of Penzance .  

We contest that since public opinion categorically rejected the scheme when it was first proposed in 2004, the public has consequently been insufficiently consulted and underinformed on this issue to an unacceptable degree.

We ask that instead of being exploited for the sole benefit of a private company, this area of great historical, cultural and natural significance be  conserved intact for the townspeople of Penzance in perpetuity.
