We recognised the concerns expressed by people living in existing communities close to the proposed Garden Village site and the potential impact of the new development on their local facilities and services. While funding for new community facilities would normally come from land sales and be delivered towards the end of the development, Cornwall Council has provided early investment for a number of community projects to ensure that local services do not come under pressure.
What we are doing?
- The Council has invested in community projects in Threemilestone and Highertown areas including :
- £600,000 investment in a Community Hall at All Saints Church Highertown
- £880,000 investment in a new hall at Threemilestone School
- £617,000 to upgrade the Community Centre at Threemilestone
- We are working with CORMAC to look at how we can improve the Threemilestone village centre and improve pedestrian and cycle links with Langarth.
- Work is also taking place to develop plans for new playing pitches, improving the village centre to reduce congestion and the potential expansion of the business park.
