We are fortunate to have a candidate of Jayne's caliber and we can look forward to two good years under her leadership. Cllr.

09 May 2012. It's been a long haul, but the S106 agreement has now been signed and Cornwall Council has issued the Decision Notice to ING for the South Quay development.

With news that a Fire Station is coming to Commercial Road, all we need is for Hayle to be selected as the site for the Cornwall Records Office and we have completed a hat-trick.
