BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page) Spotlight local news for devon and cornwall on Tuesday 9th February, reporting that previous "G" meetings have cost approx 92 million pounds.

The bill will be paid by central Government

It is probably more accurate to say that previous meetings cost about £2 million, with the security operation costing £90 million.

 A great advert for excellent food from Cornwall. If you haven't tried it, Cornish Blue  is a world class cheese ,as is Lanreath Mature Gouda.

I found the Guardian's take on this rather amusing.

Many chain pubs sell fish of unknown origin. If it looks like and tastes like Cod I'll eat it. But not Rock Eel or its other names of Huss or Dogfish as the big bone looks like a finger has been left inside by the cook.

Edit - as mentioned above!

During my last couple of annual visits to the area there has been working going on every time at the Hotel in question.

IIRC▸ ('if I recall/remember/read correctly') last year (August) it was on their outdoor pool area, which the coastal path directly passes, and the year before they were building some apartments directly above the beach (a look at their website will confirm the costs of rental for these are truly eye-watering!)

Hosting the G7 however should not be justification for carrying out work without planning permission, if that is the case?

Looks like I'm now going to be in the area during the time the G7 takes place. We've taken a punt that there might be some disruption but that there's plenty of other places to go if it gets a bit restrictive in the immediate area of Carbis Bay and St Ives.

Yje Cornwall County Council interactive map of tree preservation orders shows none in the area marked "Carbis Bay Hotel", nor anywhere on the sea side of the railway. There is a preservation area on the land side of the railway. No TPO▸ (Travelling Post Office) means that the owner can chop it down if he wants.

The Hotel Estate is on BOTH sides of the Railway. A significant portion of the landward side of which is within the area marked as TPO▸ (Travelling Post Office) in the map above.

Yes, but is that the bit being worked on?
