St Austell's new town centre opened with thousands of shoppers keen to check it out
St Austell's prospective MP, Steve Gilbert, was today at the opening of the £75million redevelopment of St Austell town centre and said, "People in St Austell have waited awhile to hear these nine words: on time, on budget, and the shops are open."
The Lib Dem candidate, who attended the opening and spent the morning talking to the traders and shoppers in the town, added: "The mood among everyone is very upbeat and positive. The new development looks stunning and my hope is that the community now gets spending in St Austell. If we want it to be a success we have to back it at the tills."
