He is STILL a sitting tenant with no plans to move.John Lambourn,
the Newlyn boat restorer, is still refusing to move off the prime waterfront
site loaned to him rent-free by Newlyn's Harbour Commission four years ago,
despite demands by solicitors to leave by January 31.
"I have carried on doing what I'm doing and intend to finish my work."
Mr Lambourn said his sit-in protest calls for more transparency in the
way the harbour commissioners are running the port.
"Let's get rid of
this shroud of secrecy," he said.
"People should know the affairs of
Newlyn.
"We have a right to know what the decisions are. It's very much
in our interests."
Newlyn's harbour commission refused to
comment.
The Department of Transport has confirmed it is expecting an
application from The Newlyn Pier and Harbour Commissioners which will request
changes to the Harbour Revision Order which covers its constitution.
