OVER 200 objections have now been received by Cornwall Council against a plan to build a rum cask maturation bi-ome, geothermal energy centre and visitor centre on the site of The United Downs Raceway. So far the proposal by The Cornish Geothermal Distillery Company to build the complex at the Stock Car Racing at United Downs Raceway in St Day has received 205 objections while a petition on change.org has so far gained over 6,000 signatures. The distillery company say up to 100 new jobs could be created in one of the most deprived parts of Cornwall after a 100% sustainable scheme to geo-thermally mature and distil rum using heat generated by the UK’s first geothermal power plant won a £75,000 research and development grants awarded in the Government’s Green Distillery Competition.
