EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO ALL OF THE DELIVERY GROUP MEETINGS.

PLEASE COME ALONG AND JOIN IN.

DISCOVER HAYLE MAP AND WEBSITE

This project is being carried out through the Heritage, Culture and Environment Delivery Group.  Its main aim is the promotion of Hayle and area to residents and visitors. The outcome will be a map and website similar to those for Newquay and St Austell.  to find out more see newquaymap.co.uk  and staustellmap.co.uk.  Minutes of meetings may be viewed on the HCE page.

HAYLE TRAIN STATION

Several meetings over the last few months have highlighted the shortcomings of the service provided by the station.  Most importantly too few trains stop at Hayle forcing travellers to go to St Erth.  some commuter trains do leave from Hayle but the most suitable return trip does not stop there!  Last summer First Great Western further reduced the service at Hayle.

Cornwall Council has assured us that better signing and information boards will be installed in the town soon but the provision of information screens at Hayle is part of the improvement of real time information across Cornwall and could take up to 18 months!!  We also understand that better access to the Northern platform is being developed but no indication of when.  It can also be impossible to park at Hayle, unlike St Erth.

You cannot buy a ticket at Hayle nor get information about promotions and we are urging the rail companies to provide this at a local shop, the Post, office, Library or One Sto Shop.  We have been told many stories of passengers not paying, nor being able to pay on the train and although First Great Western has been made aware of this they continue to loose revenue through inaction.

Despite serving a population of over 8,000 the service we get at Hayle equates with that at St Germans (pop 2500) or Menheniot!  Hayle Station is in walking distance of most of the town and yet the huge potential for use by visitors staying in hayle has never been exploited.  There is no link between the train and the bus timetable.

There is an argument that we should use it or loose it but if the Trains do not stop, then use is impossible - so PLEASE:

• If you travel by train insist that you tick marks Hayle as the start of your journey, even if you have to get on at St Erth (cost is the same)
• If you have experienced a problem trying to travel from Hayle, or travelled without paying or have suggestions about improvements at Hayle please write to Julian Crow, Operations Manager, South West First Great Western, Milford House, 1 Milford Street, Swindon SN! 1HL or email julian.corw@firstgroup.com explaining your opinion.
• If you have a Facebook account log on to Support Hayle Train Station (www.facebook.com) .  This page has been set up by two young ladies who would travel from Hayle if they could, so register your support.

The Hayle Area Partnership has a transport group chaired by joe Colliver who are leading the campaign for more trains band better facilities at Hayle and this website will keep you informed.  Contact us at Dowren House, 2 Foundry Lane, Hayle, TR27 4HD 01736 755448 - email admin@hayleareaplan.org.uk.

The more of us who use the trains, the more of us who show we care, the more of us who tell First what we think, the better chance of change.

John Pollard, Chair Hayle Area Partnership, Cornwall Councillor, Hayle Town Councillor

Minutes of both meetings held on 28 January available on this site together with full transcript of question and answer session from the morning meeting.

Dave Clarke will be giving an update and progress report on

ST ERTH TO HAYLE RIVERSIDE WALK

Everyone Welcome 

Hayle’s History for all to see

To celebrate Hayle Community Archive’s new website that makes personal collections of old photos accessible to everyone, they have joined with Hayle Oral History Project to exhibit archive photos in Hayle Library. Transcripts from interviews recorded by the Hayle Oral History Project will also be available as part of the exhibition. From 1pm Tuesday 8th December an additional archive slide show will be shown, interview clips will be available for listening, films for viewing and Archive and Oral History Project volunteers will be available to discuss the projects and volunteer opportunities over a free cup of tea and saffron bun.

“We are just two of the groups who are working hard to discover more about the history of the Hayle Area and want to preserve it forever with interviews, photos, film and in print. We like to show what we’re doing and encourage volunteers with their stories or photos to come forward and help make these projects successful” says Lucy Frears, the Hayle Oral History Project Coordinator.

Both projects are based over the road from Hayle Library at the Brewery Office on Sea Lane. Hayle Community Archive has new opening hours of 10am – 1pm Tuesdays. You are invited to bring in original photos of Hayle and the parishes of St. Erth and Gwinear Gwithian to be scanned and added to the community archive (without taking your originals) or pop in to look at the collection which has been carefully gathered for many years and is just starting to be digitised. If you know about the copyright of any photos or postcards please come to speak to us.

“The Hayle Community Archive website has already made several collections of photographs available for internet viewing with images ranging from 1900 to just a few years ago. They provide a unique pictorial record of the history of the Hayle Area and the changes that have taken place over the years. Please do not let your photos deteriorate in the attic, they need preserving for the benefit of future generations” John Farrar, Hayle Community Archive volunteer.

The Hayle Oral History Project also needs volunteers - for example those over 65 from the Hayle Area are requested to come forward to be interviewed, anonymously if they wish, while people of all ages are needed to interview and record memories or transcribe interviews. Those with MP3 players, mobile phones, digital cameras or camcorders are encouraged to film or record short interviews with grandparents for the project, once the grandparents’ permission has been granted. A book using excerpts from interviews, expert articles and archive photos will be available at the end of next year.

Hayle Archive Web Site Now Live

At last the Hayle Archive website is up and running displaying some of the many photographs we have.
It has been quite a journey getting to this point but we hope that the project will prove a source of interest for years to come. If you browse through what we have so far, I am sure that many images will bring back memories of what has long gone.
If you have any photographs, documents etc. you would like to donate to the Archive, or loan, so we can add the photos to the online database, we would be most grateful.
You may contact us by email from the link on the 'front page ' of the website.
Many thanks from
