Rural Key grant to Clay area project

The latest organisation to benefit from investment from the Objective One Rural Key Fund is Clay Transport Solutions (CTS) with the assistance of Restormel Regeneration Partnership (RRP) Integrated Area Plan Team (IAP).

CTS is a sustainable transport project currently based in St Dennis. Set up to explore the issues surrounding rural transport in the clay area, the project also runs ClayWheels, Cornwall's first car club as well as promoting car sharing and providing a transport information service.

CTS is coordinated by Emma Rowse who says: "I am delighted to announce that the CTS project has been awarded investment from the Objective One Rural Key Fund. This will enable us to work towards providing some solutions to the problems of transport in the clay area. I would like to extend my thanks to those people and organisations that have made this possible, in particular Restormel Regeneration Partnership IAP Team, Rural Key Fund Team and the CTS steering group."

The project has already carried out surveys in the parishes of St Stephen and St Dennis and is using this information to work towards transport solutions that may help to fill the gap between current provision and current needs.

Catherine Roberts, Fund Manager of the Objective One Rural Key Fund commented: "Clay Transport Solutions has had a busy year and the Rural Key Fund award is the culmination of this. The project has worked hard with local communities to find out what difficulties they experience due to transport."
