Community Assembly of Saltash
Serving, supporting and protecting our local community
About Us

The Community Assembly of Saltash (Cornish: Essa) is located in a town facing the city of Plymouth over the River Tamar. There are two bridges crossing the Tamar which are the Tamar Bridge (so named because it crosses the Tamar and no-one important built it) connecting Plymouth to Kernow by road and Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge carrying the railway. Get the two mixed up and it can make one hell of a mess of your car.


In Edward the Confessor's time, it was called and spelt 'Aysche'. In the 1584 Charter, it is stated that Essa is now commonly called Saltash. A family called Essa lived in the twelfth century at their property near Ashtor Rock, where the Manor Courts were once held. The 'Salt' part of the name was added to distinguish it from other places called Ash.

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.
