Thanks so much to everyone who turned out to vote in Thursday’s Newquay Treviglas election, especially as it was in the middle of Boardmasters.

Following years of campaigning by local Councillors and Cornwall Council, Newquay looks like it will be launching satellites by 2021 following a deal signed with space operator Virgin Orbit. The deal will also provide a focus, along with the Aerohub and Goonhilly Ground Station, for thousands of highly skilled new jobs in Cornwall as part of the UK’s growing space industry.

Newquay Lib Dems are delighted to say that Treviglas town councillor Steven Daniell has been chosen as the Lib Dem Cornwall Council candidate for Treviglas by-election on Thursday August 9th. The ward includes Porth, Porth Bean and Henver and St Columb Minor.

Lib Dems on Cornwall Cornwall Council have secured funding to spend £30million on repairing potholes and improving road surfaces over next three years.

An announcement on Newquay’s bid to become the UK’s space capital is expected within the next week or so, and local Councillors say their hopes are ‘sky high’. The announcement from the UK Space Agency of the successful sites had been delayed but it is now expected in May, and all indications are that it is good news for Newquay and Cornwall.

Geoff Brown, Lib Dem Cornwall Councillor for Newquay Pentire and Portfolio holder for Transport at Cornwall Council has welcomed the latest fleet of 41 First Kernow buses which are now arriving in the county to operate in mid Cornwall.

Many thanks to all those who helped Steven Daniell to become a Town Councillor for the Newquay Treviglas Ward recently.

Local campaigner Steven Daniell has been selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate for the vacancy on the Town Council representing Newquay Treviglas – which covers Porth and St Columb Minor.

St Austell Liberal Democrats are delighted to announce the opening of their new HQ in Fore Street, St Austell.

The completion of a new road link between St Austell and the A30 has become a step nearer today with the announcement that the Government is prepared to contribute £79 million towards the cost of the scheme.
