The St Ives Community Land Trust project to renovate the Old Vicarage building in St Ives to provide six affordable flats for local people in the heart of the town has reached a key milestone with a new agreement between St Ives Community Land Trust and community housing provider Three Seas Cornwall, supported by St Ives Town Deal.

Work is progressing well on the Town Deal funded St Ives Rugby Club scheme to provide new, high-quality sports facilities which enables land for future affordable homes and extra care housing in St Ives.

The St Ives Enterprise Grant Scheme reached its final stage at the end of June. Aimed at boosting the local economy and supporting sustainable regeneration, the Town Deal funded scheme has created 38 new permanent jobs and safeguarded a further 10 as well as improving, renovating or repurposing over 1,400sqm of enterprise space.

Plans to enhance the centre of St Ives and improve the pedestrian environment, including changes to the road surface, upgraded crossing points and new street features at Royal Square, Library Corner and Tregenna Place, have been published for statutory consultation.

We have just published the latest edition of the St Ives Town Deal Newsletter which contains the latest information about all our Town Deal projects.
