The overall aim of the Objective One programme is to create a more prosperous Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, where all communities share in an improving quality of life.
The Programme is governed by the Single Programming Document which forms the contract between the UK and the EC. It contains rules for how this European money will be spent to achieve this aim. The Programme has set five Priorities and every project must fit within the detailed criteria of a least one priority. These Priorities are:
| • |
Business support |
| • |
Strategic investment |
| • |
Developing people |
| • |
Community development; Agriculture and fishing |
| • |
Regional distinctiveness |
There are also three ‘cross-cutting’ themes that are of such importance that all projects must address the issues involved. These are:
| • |
Environmental sustainability |
| • |
Equal opportunities |
| • |
Information communications technology (ICT) |
The ten investment clusters have been devised to group together the approved projects in the Objective One Programme under clear headings showing how the projects are delivering the aims of the Programme. The ten investment clusters are as follows:
| • |
Business Support |
| • |
Digital Infrastructure |
| • |
Infrastructure |
| • |
Local Produce and Added Value |
| • |
Public Realm |
| • |
Sites and Premises |
| • |
The Knowledge Economy |
| • |
The Way to Work |
| • |
Tourism |
| • |
Training and Skills |
Some projects could be classified in more than one investment cluster, but will only be listed within their main investment cluster.
