Last evening (5 September 24), during a meeting of the Full Council, updates were received from the Harbour Master on behalf of Hayle Harbour Authority and representatives of the North Quay Development, who own and are responsible for that area. They responded to many of the questions raised by the Councillors and the public that were in attendance, confirming that they are permitted to dredge in accordance with the 1989 Hayle Harbour Act, and that the amount of sand removed from the channel is logged and closely monitored. Councillors recognise the need for a safe navigable channel to access the harbour but ultimately, they also have grave concerns about the possible long-term damage to the local environment and ecology and believe that the reinstatement of a routine sluicing regime would be more beneficial, and acceptable to the Hayle community. Hayle Town Council resolved to write to several stake holders including Natural England, RSPB, Environment Agency, Cornwall Council and the local MP, Perran Moon, to advise them of the potential damage of the dredging, to seek their views, to share any information they may have including environmental reports, monitoring assessments, geomorphology reports and to work with us to help find a positive resolution to suit/benefit all parties and St Ives Bay. It was further agreed to write to the owners and the Harbour Master to request that they change from a dredge and remove policy to dredge and dune replenishment, and that they look to find ways to repair and/or automate the gates and equipment in order to reinstate sluicing.
