Former deputy mayor is banned from cathedral over 'safeguarding concerns'
West Briton (Truro and Mid Cornwall)
|May 22, 2025
THE former deputy mayor of Truro has been banned from the city's cathedral and its grounds due to safeguarding concerns, the Diocese of Truro has said.
A “safeguarding briefing” circulated to all cathedral staff and volunteers stated: “Following information received from statutory agencies, Sam Rabey and the town council (town clerk) have been informed that he is not permitted to attend the cathedral or its grounds including the building, steps and green area; it does not include the public right of way through the green. Mr Rabey is not permitted to attend the cathedral in any official capacity or to worship.”
The note, disclosed by a member of the public, said the only days on which the ban did not apply were polling day on May 1 and the vote count the following day.
