On Sunday 10th October 2010, hundreds of Cornish political, civic and cultural leaders with many concerned Cornish men and women met in Saltash to make it clear that Cornwall is united in its determination to retain the 1,000+ year old Tamar border as its parliamentary boundary. A special provision in the Bill, as has been done for other areas, can and should protect Kernow’s representation as focussed soley on Cornwall and all the people of Cornwall.
The Rally, and the ‘riding of the bounds’ along the Tamar that went before over the weekend, was a success given it’s objectives – however, that was a starting point and it is very important to reinforce this message now in Westminster, as MPs return to debate this Bill in Parliament this week.
Steve Gilbert MP said in his speech at the Rally “If you haven’t written, write now. If you’ve already written, write again. Don’t leave it to someone else. And then get your family, friends, colleagues and neighbours to write.”
To help Keep Cornwall Whole, please try and find time to write (with a copy to your MP) this week. We can be certain that with the strong feeling in Cornwall, the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister are expecting a large postbag from Cornwall.
