Penzance has been awarded £10,000 to help revive Jubilee Pool and boost other work to regenerate the town.
The funding will support the work being undertaken by stakeholders including Cornwall Council, Penzance Town Council, businesses and residents, on a number of schemes such as the revival of Jubilee Pool and consulting on a Neighbourhood Plan.
The council said that the award to Penzance "reflects the collaborative work being undertaken in the local community to improve the town and add to the economic regeneration for the wider area.
Julian German, Cornwall Council cabinet member for economy and culture said: “Coastal communities are an essential element of our local economy and there is a strong community resolve in Penzance as everyone works together to improve their area. I am delighted their efforts have been recognised in this manner”
As a result of being named as one of the pilot areas, Penzance will now be eligible to bid into a £3million Coastal Revival Scheme announced by DCLG last month which provides assistance to coastal community efforts to improve their local economy.
