Cornwall’s Local Council Elections 1st May 2025
Voting takes place on 1st May 2025 from 7am until 10pm.
Tresillian is in area TCT4, which since the last boundary changes falls inside Probus & St Erme Electoral Division for election of a Cornwall councillor.
Election of Parish councillors for St Clement Parish is now split into two Wards. The Ward for Tresillian is, imaginatively, named the Tresillian Ward. However, the election of St Clement Parish councillors is uncontested, therefore public voting is not required this time.
The polling station for residents in the TCT4 area is at Tresillian Village Hall, Fairfax Road, Tresillian, Truro TR2 4AZ.
Don’t forget to take photographic identification with you such as your passport or driving licence, which is now required by law. It’s useful, but not mandatory, to take your polling card with you to speed up ID, and that also has a list of alternative authorised photo documents on the reverse that you can bring with you.
Income Opportunity – Are you thinking of letting your property?
If you own your own property and you’re looking for tenants, Cornwall Council could help you find local people looking to rent in Cornwall – we can help manage as much or as little of the process as you need.
If you opt for a full management service, we will find you a suitable tenant, let your property and manage the tenancy from start to finish. We’ll be the main contact point for all queries, oversee rental collection, undertake quarterly inspections and arrange repairs for you. Total peace of mind.
We also offer something other agents don’t – tenancy sustainment and early intervention if there are issues with rent being paid.
Why not talk to our lettings team today to see what they can do for you?

Tresillian Photographic Archive Project – Keith Littlejohns
Wheel Inn c1910
I am proposing setting up an organised collection of photographic images for our village that, hopefully, will remain as a permanent unified digital archive of life in Tresillian through the decades for future generations to have available.
Building this archive relies heavily on source material being forthcoming. To that end I am asking residents of Tresillian (or known past residents that have moved away but may have some suitable images) to make contact with me regarding the loan of images so that I can make professional scans and return the original prints or negatives to the owner.
This could turn out to be a quite substantial task and as a result I am expecting the building of the archive to be split into phases. For the initial phase I will be concentrating solely on gathering together a collection of older images from very early days up to and including 1979.
If you think you may have some suitable photographs I can be contacted via the village website by emailing me using this website’s Contact page. There is no need to go into great detail at first as I will make contact to talk about any images you consider may be of interest. I’m really only looking to archive images that have recorded village life and how it has evolved through time. Eventually, as time allows, I will add more modern images from 1980 onwards to take the story forward.
If possible, it would be very useful if you have information such as dates (roughly will do), names of people or locations or any other details you think may be of interest. If you don’t yet use email, please do ask a friend or neighbour to make contact on your behalf as old images are of particular interest for this first phase.
