I am very disappointed to see this item on the agenda; the Parish Council should be looking at ways of enhancing the twinning NOT stopping it. Twinning over the years has enabled many people from both Scalby / Newby and Pornic to be lifelong friends. The input from Pornic and support they receive from their local council it exemplary and whilst a small Parish council cannot match that it should at least continue to offer its full support. Santa has been a success because of the volunteers that plan and coordinate the group, I struggle to see what input (apart from a small drinks reception alternate years) the Parish Council have made to its success. It is imperative that the twinning continues (with or without PC support) but it would be good to have them on board.

As a founder member of the Twinning Association, the arrangement with Pornic has contributed to make Scalby and Newby a better, more rounded and tolerant place to live. As the area expands we should be looking to encourage and expand this link for the benefit of the whole community.

I am fully in favour of this excellent additional dimension to our community. It would be a great shame if after 30 years it should become defunct due to lack of support.

This twinning of 29 years should be celebrated and encouraged.

There does not need to be a financial link with Pornic. The link is cultural, social and political.

Brexit may come and go, but forged friendships should be maintained

I think that the PC should continue to be involved; due to the pleasure and interest that it gives to people. Also the revenue that the Twinning brings to the local area.

I have been a Newby resident since 1971 and participated in the very first twinning between us and Pornic. I am disappointed to see that the Parish Council is considering ending its involvement in the almost 30 year link between the two areas and am confused as to why this is even an agenda item. Many local residents have formed strong friendships with people from Pornic over the past two or three decades which have helped forge a bond between the two communities. I feel it is vital that the Parish Council continues to support the twinning and hope you decide to continue the relationship, especially with the 30 year anniversary coming up.

30 years of “twinning” should be celebrated. This year’s twinning was said to be the best ever. Please don’t let the friendship between the two communities falter so close to reaffirming our charter
