The Community Assembly of Plymouth is located in a port city in Devon and the Territory of Kernow, South West England. It is located on Devon's south coast between the rivers Plym and Tamar, about 36 miles southwest of Exeter.
Plymouth's history extends back to the Bronze Age, evolving from a trading post at Mount Batten (a 80-ft tall outcrop of rock on a 2000-ft peninsula in Plymouth Sound) into the thriving market town of Sutton (the early name for Plymouth), which was formally re-named as Plymouth in 1439 when it was made a borough.
The settlement has played a significant role in English history, notably in 1588 when an English fleet based there defeated the Spanish Armada, although I am fairly sure that it was the weather that defeated the Spanish Armada. In 1620 it was the departure point for the Pilgrim Fathers to the New World. During the English Civil War, the town was held by the Parliamentarians and was besieged between 1642 and 1646. In 1690 a dockyard was established on the River Tamar for the Royal Navy and Plymouth grew as a commercial shipping port throughout the Industrial Revolution.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
