The parish council covers 5 villages – Trewoon, Sticker, Polgooth, Hewaswater and Trelowth with approximately 1300 domestic properties and an electorate of around 2500. There are 12 parish councillors (with one vacancy to be filled) 5 from Trewoon, 3 from Sticker, 2 from Polgooth, 1 from Hewaswater and 1 from Trelowth.
The council owns two playing fields and gives financial support by way of grants to another two. There are three village halls plus Church and Methodist halls – again the council gives an annual grant to the village associations maintaining the village halls.
The responsibility of maintaining 42 footpaths covering over 19km (about 12 miles) lies with the parish council, helped – slightly - by Cornwall Council funding.
There is one primary school in the parish - St. Mewan CP School, with about 420 pupils (clicking here will take you direct to the school website.) Improvements to the school costing c.£1.5M should be completed by the end of February 2010.
