New uses for old building

A feasibility study has recently been commissioned to investigate the possibility of restoring the former assembly rooms in Trevenson Street, Camborne, for use as a community facility. They will also be looking at all other possible uses of the space and calculating whether the venture could be viable

The study is being managed by Mike Horrocks, Kerrier District Council's Community Economic Development Officer and is being joint funded by the Regional Development Agency, Kerrier District Council and Cornwall County Council.

The consultant employed on the project is the Director of Falmouth Quay Consultants, Peter Cowling. Peter previously worked on the Maritime museum in Falmouth. The architect who will be drawing up future plans and costing any potential developments will be Robert Allen.

Consultants are working with the developers who own the building, the Urban Regeneration Company, the Regional Development Agency, the Objective One supported Community Regeneration Team and Kerrier District Council to ensure the study is as comprehensive as possible.

Antonia Pickup, Community Regeneration Officer for Camborne, said: "Successful renovation of the building is vital to the whole redevelopment of the Trevu Road site behind it and will fit with other proposed developments in the area.”
