Click to enlarge plan Option 1a is where NPHC have their own breakwater on the back of the outside quay. It allows additional mooring on the inside and on both sides of the main quay. Note that the engineering consultants WSP Ltd are only engaged to look at construction options of the quays, breakwater and […]

Open for discussion as a proposed future layout, needed at this stage to estimate future utility supplies, ground loadings and quay front construction for the main boatyard. Note: Fish Market twice the size of existing; separate pelagic chill (170 tonnes) for sardine fishery; ice machines; fuel […]

The access road would provide a direct route to Sandy Cove for HGV and other industry related traffic in addition to providing access to the proposed marina development in Penlee Quarry. This would have a significant effect on traffic flow using St Peter’s Hill (Paul Hill).

I am John Lambourn resident of Newlyn, owner of lugger Ripple, user of Newlyn Harbour. I am Chairperson of Newlyn Association. Have previously served as a Penzance Councillor and as a Newlyn Harbour Commissioner. Seafaring, marine, port development planning, management and government administration is my working background and the experience and learned skills of which I draw on for the AB. Have been involved in planning and delivering major marine projects in Hong Kong.
I am keen to see the icon of the Old Harbour active again with heritage boats. My hope for the future is that Newlyn can develop its unique harbour potential to meet the future needs of fishing, leisure and other marine activities.
Hello, l am Tony Pearce, l’ve worked in the fishing industry for 45 year’s as skipper and owner of trawlers and crabbers. I currently live in Trewellard, prior to that l owned a smallholding at Botrea where l reared cattle and pigs.
I am retired now and have been for 10 years but still play a active roll in the fishing industry where I mend trawls for visiting vessel’s including my son Brackan’s boat the modern stern trawler, Spirited Lady 111. I also assist visiting Scottish prawn trawlers with any problems they may have while in Newlyn.
I am looking forward to taking a active roll in Newlyn Harbour Commissioner’s Advisory Board.
Being brought up in Penzance, Newlyn and Mousehole, I became a marine engineering apprentice and serviced the Newlyn vessels between 1990-1997. I saw the boom and bust, the tuna wars, the recession and decommissioning. During this time I helped tow boats in and out of Holman’s dry dock for both the Trinity House Pilot and the harbourmasters of Newlyn and Penzance. I left Newlyn and worked as a factory maintenance engineer. After I was made redundant, I joined Pendennis shipyard in Falmouth for 9 years, maintaining machinery, and the varied vessels belonging to the yard, and the company’s associates.
I was chosen to manage their boatyard in Penryn, where I would move customers’ boats around the pontoon systems, supply cranage and general maintenance, so I was heavily involved with the yachting and leisure industry.
I’m currently the Chief Engineer on the Cornwall IFCA Patrol Vessel ‘Saint Piran’, which keeps me up to date on the developments for reducing the emissions of UK shipping starting in 2025, and what the ports may require to service these future demands.
After seeing the Falmouth Working Boats fishing under sail, sailing has become my hobby, which ranges from windsurfers up to 40 tonne Pilot cutters,
I am currently the Rear Commodore of Training at Penzance sailing club, where I own a racing dinghy and small gaff cutter. I am also a member of the St Ives Jumbo Association and a keen supporter of the Cornwall Maritime trust.
Nick has more than 45 years experience in the fishing industry from establishing merchant and processing companies and from spending a very short time attempting to be a fisherman. Introducing mechanical grading machines and opening up the markets in Spain for Newlyn fish were firsts in the 1980’s.
Reviving Cornwall’s traditional pilchard fishery by rebranding the fish as “Cornish Sardines” with Marks and Spencer in 1998 and founding the Cornish Sardine Management Association resulted in renewed investment in vessels and onshore processing by many Cornish companies.
Though semi-retired he still oversees the manufacturing and marketing of “The Pilchard Works” brand of tinned fillets to Waitrose and wholesalers in the UK.
Other experiences gained through being a Board member in industries from tourism to pet food manufacturing or as a Newlyn Harbour Commissioner should help the AB form and recommend ways to implement a Long Term Development Strategy for the port.
Newlyn’s location within the new UK fishing area offers unique opportunities for its vibrant community to finally benefit from new investment.
Sue Bosworth – Penwith Town Council.
Richard Adams is a specialist fish merchant and owner of the fish restaurant, Argoe.
I have been involved with fisheries management throughout the inshore waters of Cornwall since 1987. Having worked extensively from Newlyn harbour myself and knowing many fishermen who use its facilities, I have gained a broad understanding of the workings of the port, its current services and facilities.
I am a director of Seafood Cornwall Training and I am an active member of the South West England Fishing Safety Forum. I firmly believe that Newlyn has the potential to stand head and shoulders above any other fishing port in England, providing all the necessary facilities required by fishing vessels working in southwest English waters, together with a first class auction market for the vast range of fish and shellfish that are landed to the port.
I am aware of how important a thriving harbour is to the wider Newlyn community, as well as to many businesses throughout Cornwall and further afield, and I wish to see significant plans and investment for the harbour area that make it all happen.
Nigel Davis
I live in Newlyn, having moved here when I retired. I am Chairman of the Cornish Pirates, having been appointed in 2016.
I am also Treasurer and trustee for a number of local Trusts and Charities. I am the Immediate Past President of the Rotary Club of Penzance.
Prior to retirement, I was a partner in Ernst & Young (EY) in London as a Chartered Accountant, a Certified Information Systems Auditor and a Certified Information Security Manager.
Hopefully I bring a lot of experience in business, board membership and projects to the AB in the long term strategy.
I worked for 15 years as a fisherman and skipper on vessels up to 21m, mainly from Newlyn.
As a teacher in Secondary and Further Education I specialised in maths, English and IT, and am currently teaching part-time at Penwith College.
My website, Through the Gaps has since 2008 championed the local and wider role fishing communities have to play in providing the UK with an ethically and sustainable caught food supply.
As a priority, I would like to see much more done by all concerned to portray the industry as an incredibly rewarding, and worthwhile career option where every individual develops a wide range of practical skills, environmental and geographical knowledge together with a positive can-do attitude with all the life-skills benefits that follow.
