St Mawes artist wins her battle to lower fence obscuring view
An artist has won her battle to get a fence lowered so that villagers can once again enjoy an unobstructed view of the Fuller, of St Mawes on the Roseland peninsula, had fought for more than a year to get the 1.5m (5ft) fence lowered to restore the view of Tavern campaign, which included photographs and her own original paintings to illustrate her point, has now resulted in the parish council agreeing to reduce the fence to its original 90cms (3ft).Ms Fuller said: "I cannot understand why they wanted to do anything to spoil the view in this beautiful place and that was the whole point of my argument." Ms Fuller said she created the before and after paintings in order to prove her point to the parish council."A year ago I spoke about this matter and I was entirely on my own," she said. She said her protests led to a site visit in November 2024 but it took several more months before the council agreed the fence could be lowered."So I have been on this journey for over a year," she said. Fellow artist Ruth Hazlitt, a member of St Mawes Art Group, said the higher fence was "hideous" and "nonsensical".She said previously there was a clear view of St Anthony's Head, Summers Beach and the open sea and across to Falmouth."It's a wonderful spectrum of vision," she said. Councillor Sheelah Goldsmith, from St Just in Roseland Parish Council, said they had agreed to lower the fence in response to local feeling and after checking height regulations."We weren't sure about the regulations so the fence was put up and at the first meeting we were really worried about the insurance," she said a second council meeting it transpired the height of the fence could be Goldsmith added: "I'm really pleased, I think the 500 signatures backing the idea of the fence coming down needed to be recognised and also the legalities, that fact that it's perfectly legal to be 3ft (90cms)."
