TRURO City's chairman Peter Masters has said the approval of retail plans at Treyew Road has sorted out the club's future.

Cornwall Council's planning committee approved the proposals which will see shops go on the site where the club currently play, with money from the sale of the units going towards a new stadium in Silver Bow.

In a statement posted on the club's website, Masters said: "The bold decisions made by the Strategic Planning Committee to approve both planning permissions at Treyew Road and Silver Bow has ensured the sustainability of Truro City Football Club.

"We will now be able play football without fear of being evicted or being held back by a lack of facilities.

"We will be able to compete on an equal basis with other Clubs within our league.

"Silver Bow gives Truro City Football Club the opportunity to become sustainable going forward in the National League and it will ensure that the good people of Truro City and indeed Cornwall will get the opportunity to follow, watch or play football at the highest level."
