Hayle Town Council and St Ives Town Council wish to update our communities on the recent marketing for sale of parcels of land associated with the North Quay development in Hayle with plots in both Hayle and Lelant.
Both councils have been working closely and constructively with our two local MPs, Perran Moon and Andrew George, alongside community and environmental organisations, with a shared passion for protecting and preserving these areas. We have been exploring all viable options, including crowdfunding, to secure these areas for the long term benefit of our residents, coastal environment, and wider community interests. This work is ongoing and remains a shared priority. Despite this, we are disappointed that the sites will still be put up for auction next week. We understand commercial needs to recover debts and costs associated with the winding up of the company. But these sites have many planning restrictions and constraints and we believe are best held for the benefit of future generations.
If any well intentioned individuals or groups are considering bidding to purchase parts of this land to protect them, please get in touch as soon as possible and consider joining our group or contributing to the crowdfunding campaign.
Our shared goal is to act in the best interests of the communities we serve. We believe that cooperation, transparency, and joined up thinking will offer the strongest chance of achieving positive and lasting outcomes for both towns
Both councils will continue to keep residents informed.
