Five projects to transform Truro with £25 million have now been created - and it is time for people to have their say.

Truro Town Deal Board has chosen each one for its potential to boost the economy, create jobs and homes, and celebrate the city’s identity and heritage.

These projects - and potentially others - will continue to involve the wider community, to get feedback from Truro residents, businesses and visitors.

People can head to the website www.trurotownfund.com to give their feedback, or write a letter of support backing the vision and ideas.

Carole Theobald, chair of Truro Town Deal Board, said: “It’s essential that we develop an investment plan that meets the objectives set by Government, by focusing on projects that are deliverable and transformational by 2026, also fit together to tell a story of how we can regenerate our city.”
