Dog control orders –  in response to calls for controls of dogs on a number of beaches and a footpath in the parish of St Ives, Cornwall Council has applied the Dog Control Orders, with the aim of striking a balance for the various beach users.

Memorial & Public Benches – There are over 200 public benches in the parish of St Ives. St Ives Town Council took over the ownership and management of the benches from Cornwall Council in 2023.

Seagull advice – not a statutory duty of the council, but in view of complaints from residents and visitors, the town council has compiled a seagull advice leaflet which may be downloaded.

Tourist Information – the town council runs the St Ives Library & Information Service – based in the Library.  This is a valued service used by visitors to the town and residents alike.  Tourist information, left luggage, books, maps and souvenirs – well worth a visit when in St Ives!
