In February Mrs Murray caught up with the Minister for Water and Rural Growth Robbie Moore MP at the new Hawks Tor reservoir. This former China Clay tip now feeds into the main reservoir at Colliford hopefully reducing the need for hose pipe bans which we suffered from in 2022 and 2023.
Mrs Murray said - "It was good to see both South West Water and the government’s Environment Agency working together to get this improvement. At this meeting I was also able to raise the issue with Robbie about some Household Waste Recycling Centres in Cornwall not taking DIY waste. He told me clearly that people should be able to take DIY waste to their local centre and that this was the wish of the government. He told me he would write to Cornwall Council to make this clear".
