It's a scandal that a daughter of Cornubia - Joan Trethewey is denied access to ths site - she is not an Arab with a bad foot - she bears the noble name Trethewey and should be given full access - as should anyone with a name beginning Tre, Pol or Pen. Sort it out or Trelawney will come and get you with his umpteen men!

Welcome to thisisSaltash
Saltash's very own community website.
We hope this website will become a focal point for Saltash on the World Wide Web, whatever your connection we want you to join us here, maybe you have distant links to Saltash? It doesn’t matter come and join us.
If you are having an event you can post it on to the calendar, you can post whatever you want from a tea party to who knows a car boot sale, a school reunion, or your clubs monthly meeting down the local pub.
We want this to be as much about the people of Saltash as possible and there is only one way to achieve that and that is for you to get involved in some way.
One section, we would very much like to encourage people to help out on, is the History section. We want to be able to show written accounts from people who's great grandmothers and fathers lived in Saltash.
Taking the Saltash heritage trail you can get a image of the days gone by, like Old Mr Elliot’s shop, and Mary Newman’s Cottage, but if you look harder you will be able to find many old relics still there, such as the gate pillars for the Port View estate. There is far more to be found than most people realise you just need to open your eyes. Have you ever wandered up Fore Street and noticed a green dragon? No, go and have a look, its on the Co-op building, the site of the Green Dragon Inn. Wander along the waterside and experience some magnificent views up and down the Tamar, and take in some beautiful public houses such as the Union Inn and The Boatman or a wander up Station Hill takes you past the Two Bridges, a public house situated almost directly under the Royal Albert Bridge.
The Town boasts some very famous former associations such as Ann Glanville, Henry Jackson and not forgetting Isambard Kingdom Brunel who built and designed the Royal Albert Bridge that connected Devon and Cornwall across the river Tamar, becoming the “Gateway to Cornwall”

Petition to not increase the Tamar Bridge Toll
The Tamar Bridge Joint Authority in Devon wishes to increase the Toll charged to cross the River Tamar by 50% in December 2009. This is outragous in the worst recession since the 1930's the people of Devon and Cornwall are indeed the lowest paid in the UK and cannot afford this increase. The Tamar Bridge is reported to be making a profit and has a surplus of almost £2million even though the amount of crossings is falling year on year yet they still make large sums of money.

Coast Access
Please complete and submit the Coastal Access consultation at:
http://coastalaccess.dialoguebydesign.net/
The first public pedestrian crossing of the River Tamar is the Tamar Road Bridge at Saltash
We need public access to all our (tidal river) Coast just as much as is needed on other parts of the English coast - and we are denied access to most of Saltash's coast-line.
thanks
