STEPHEN GILBERT CALLS FOR "REAL PROGRESS" ON ST AUSTELL TOWN CENTRE

August 3, 2007 4:59 PM

Stephen Gilbert, the new Lib Dem Parliamentary candidate for St Austell, has welcomed the news that the Regional Development Agency (RDA) has signed legal agreements with David McLean Developments to start work on the £75m revamp of St Austell town centre.

Stephen said: "This project has suffered from too many false-dawns. However, it looks like we now have all the agreements signed, and, thanks to Matthew Taylor's intervention, the funding has been approved. We should see actual work happening soon."

"My first Saturday job was at what was Roy Dutch's camera shop on East Hill and I remember the town being a busy and vibrant place. Both traders and residents in St Austell have had to live with uncertainty for too long and whilst today's news is a step forward, I'm calling on the RDA and the developers to make real progress in giving St Austell a town centre that it can be proud of."

    If you are a resident of the St Austell and Newquay constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
