  Another great day for Helston. The Gwealdues Hotel is closing because the useless Councillors have not supported their planning application, so they have effectively gone bust. I did a bit of asking around, and guess who lives next to The Gwealdues Hotel. The pompous ex Mayor and Freemason Nicol**** Martin, who was strongly against someone daring to build next to him. And what did the other Masons on the Council do. They supported...

  The lead up to this year's mayor choosing ceremony in Helston hasn't exactly been smooth but today John Boase was sworn in for his second term in office. The occasion has hopefully brought an end to what has been an eventful couple of months for Helston Town Council. What should have been a simple case of voting Mr Boase in for a second year, as is tradition, turned out to be a long and drawn out process. In February he was denied a...

  A LINK between Helston and the Breton town of Plougasnou has taken a significant step forward. Helston town councillors on Thursday, with just one exception, agreed to support such an arrangement. In fact one member, Mike Thomas, who is also a teacher at Helston community College – links between this area's schools and Plougasnou are being actively encouraged – suggested that the more twins Helston had as a town, the ...

  John Boase will be mayor for a second year. There was public outcry when it emerged he had been voted out for the coming year by his fellow councillors at a private meeting last month. Last week the vote was taken again in public and this time Mr Boase won. Voting in favour of John Boase were Vicky Matthew, Ronnie Williams, Mike Thomas, Wendy Radford-Gaby and Jonathan Radford-Gaby. Voting against were Richard Pryor, Sue Swift, Niall...

  The saga of who will be the next mayor of Helston continues. Last month, in a secret ballot, the town council caused widespread controversy by voting for Niall Devenish to take over the role in May, replacing current mayor John Boase who is coming to the end of his first year in office. Traditionally the mayor of Helston serves for two years and the vote for the second year is seen as a formality so the decision was highly unusual. Now,...
