Cornwall Council will join a national call from the leisure centre industry to the Government for more funding. There are concerns nationally that leisure centres may not reopen after lockdown unless more financial assistance is provided. All centres are currently closed to the public and there are fears about the impact the enforced closure is having on their resources. Cornwall Council owned leisure centres in Cornwall are operated by national firm GLL and the council has already provided more than £4million in financial support to help the company. However it was revealed yesterday that the council is in discussions about providing more money to the company.
CGI of the proposed design of homes for the site in Ladock (Image: CSA Architects) Plans to build 28 new homes on the edge of a village have been put on hold after councillors raised concerns about the proportion of affordable housing in the development. A planning application was considered by Cornwall Council’s central sub-area planning committee for the development on land west of Trethurffe Manor in Ladock. Under the proposals 12 of the properties would be for open market sale and the other 14 would be affordable homes. However while the number of properties for affordable housing was more than 50 per cent, councillors were concerned that the land given for affordable housing was less than 50 per cent.
