Have Your Say!

A study is currently being completed for Penwith District Council and the St Ives Harbour Consultative Forum to consider ways of enhancing and preserving the harbour in St. Ives. An Objective 1 Fisheries grant of £8,800 has been awarded towards this study.

An open-day is being held to provide the public with the chance to express their views about the harbour, and to comment on various proposals. These proposals include:

• Facilities to be provided for the fishing industry
• Improvements to Wharf Road and quay-side areas
• Development options for under-utilised spaces and buildings
• Ways of enhancing and benefiting from the unique historical, environmental and heritage "capital" in St Ives
• Improvements in harbour management
• A new marina/harbour off Carn Crows
• A ferry between St Ives and Hayle

The open-day will be held in the main concert hall downstairs in The Guildhall, Street-an-Pol, St. Ives.

The open-day will be held on Thursday 17^th October 2002, with the public invited to participate at the following times:

9am – 12.30pm 2pm – 5pm 6pm – 8pm

Your input will help to ensure that proposals for the harbour are agreed which will support the fishing industry and provide new opportunities for economic diversity in St Ives, while preserving the unique character of the harbour area. Everyone is welcome, so please do come.

Will Trevorrow, Chairman of the St Ives Harbour Consultative Committee stated "Everyone feels that the regeneration of St Ives harbour is long overdue. We are delighted that the consultants have reached this stage so soon and think this is a wonderful opportunity to give the people of St Ives a chance to air their views and see what is going on."
