Welcome
to The Parish Tram's web site. This site is linked with the quarterly
newsletter of the same name. We hope by providing a place on the
world wide web will make the Parish Tram more accessible and useable
to a larger group of residents and and ever growing number of
visitors.
Portreath is a small village on the North coast of Cornwall, situated
between the towns of Camborne and Redruth. In the past Portreath
prospered from its harbour, exporting tin ore and importing coal
for the mining industry. The fishing community has also been very
active and continues into the present.
The main income in the parish is the holiday trade with the beach
as our jewel in the crown.
The
beach car park is owned by the village and run by a registered charity
called The Portreath Improvements Committee. All funds generated by
the car park go toward maintaining the village.
Portreath Parish Council run the administration of the parish dealing
with all planning applications, footpaths, highways and at present
the on going regeneration proposals.
You will find more information of all the parish organisations by
clicking the "Organisations" button at the top of this page.
The main aim of the quarterly newsletter is for the various organisations
of the parish to promote themselves and to inform the residents of
upcoming events and dates.
