The Council has been given the backing to transform 7.5 hectares of former mining land in Pool, between Redruth and Camborne, into a World Heritage Site and parkland. The site will include formal gardens, play-space, performance space for events for over 4,000 people and new cycle links to local trails.
The aim of the Living Landmarks programme is to provide funding to create major new capital projects that transform, revitalise and regenerate their communities. Heartlands is one of three successful projects that are sharing awards totalling just over £70 million from the Living Landmarks programme.
