As a growing movement begins to take root to reverse Helston's fortunes, the Helston Packet is launching a bid to breathe new life into the town by focusing on the redevelopment of one specific area.

It is now more than a year since supermarket chain Budgens closed the doors to its Trengrouse Way store in March last year, only eight months after opening when it took over from Co-op.

Since then the building has sat empty, becoming more and more dilapidated and at increasing risk of break-ins and vandalism.

Now the Packet is saying: "Enough is enough."

We are making it our mission to help boost Helston's chances of survival and bring about the rejuvenation of the town's economy, focusing initially on the empty supermarket in the Trengrouse Way car park.

The size of the building, together with the easy access to parking that has the bonus of being free after 4pm, gives it huge potential for redevelopment into a focal point for Helston that could lead the way into bringing people back to the town to spend their time and money to boost the local economy.

Today we launch a poll on our website, thepacket.co.uk, giving YOU the chance to finally have your say in what should be done with the building.

We've used the most common suggestions that have were put forward by readers when Budgens closed and which have been raised on social media during the many discussions over what Helston needs to do to survive.

We will then take the most popular one to the relevant bodies, in a bid to persuade them to come to Helston and give the town what it wants.

On the retail side, Iceland has been a popular suggestion by many. A number of readers have said how they like to buy their goods from the low-cost frozen food chain, but are currently forced to travel to Penzance, Falmouth or Camborne to stock up. Some might say that the town already has plenty of supermarkets already, with Tesco, Sainsbury's and Lidl all having stores on the outskirts, but it could also be argued that with the car park being so much closer to the town centre, people may also pop in to the town centre shops beforehand.

Other people have said that Helston is severely lacking in entertainment, particularly for children and teenagers in the town.

As such, both a bowling alley and a roller rink have been raised as possibilities. The building should certainly be big enough and it would bring people to the town who may eat out first in the town's restaurants, or tie in a daytime visit with a look around the shops.

But what do you think?

Our poll runs until 11.59pm next Monday, so don't hold off voting. Have your say and then see next Wednesday's edition of the Helston Packet for the results.

Of course, there's no guarantee that a company will want to take up the option, but who knows - if enough people make their voices heard, anything could happen.

The more votes in the poll, the more impact the end result has, so get sharing with your friends, family and next door neighbours - in fact, anybody that wants to see Helston rejuvenated.
