| Proposed Site |
A NEW Centre is to be built, in purpose built new complex to all the necessary modern standards needed for proper storage of Archive material.
Communities in Cornwall were invited to apply to be the location for the new Archive, and Cornwall Councillor John Pollard submitted a bid for Hayle, based on the unsurfaced car park opposite Jewsons by the viaduct, currently owned by ING who are very keen on the proposals.
Among the requirements are that the site is handy for private and public transport by road, rail and bus, and Hayle definitely qualifies there!
Thiks could also be a case where Hayle Foundry being a conservation area and part of the World Heritage site could be an advantage!
It has just been announced that, from 38 applications, HAYLE IS IN THE FINAL SHORTLIST OF THREE!!
I'd most definitely support this. The current Records office is cramped and hard to reach. People will call for a more central site, but we can;t have everything crammed ito the centre of Cornwall and nothing at either end. Tied in with Hayle's history and the WHS, it's a great site for it.
