Cornwall Spotlighted in the Budget

The recent Budget revealed a huge investment for Cornwall with a £30 million Kernow Industrial Growth Fund.

This is fantastic news as the fund will help unlock the enormous potential we already have in critical minerals, renewable energy, and marine innovation, among other sectors. By backing local infrastructure, research, and supply chains, it will attract new investment, create skilled jobs, and strengthen the industries that will power our future economy.

Cornwall is at the forefront of emerging high-value industries, including domestic lithium production, and with this investment, we can make sure opportunities are felt in communities across Cornwall.

AND…

Truro was also mentioned by Rachel Reeves in the Budget!

Funding was confirmed for an upgrade to Truro Health Park as part of a major investment in Neighbourhood Health Centres across the country.

This money will upgrade and refurbish Truro Health Park to bring more under one roof, such as diagnostics and treatment like transfusion and dialysis, closer to the community. This will relieve pressure on Treliske and improve access to appointments for people in Truro & Falmouth.

This is part of the Government’s wider plan to reduce NHS waiting times and bring care closer to home and more services under one roof.

Cornwall is already leading the way with new Neighbourhood Health Teams, and upgrading Truro Health Park will make it easier for people to get the help they need in their own communities.
