To mark St Piran’s Day, Camborne’s re-worked version of Trelawny has been translated into Cornish. The new wording of Cornwall’s famous anthem highlights the need to keep the local community safe by being Covid aware and maintaining social distance. Cornwall’s national day of celebration in honour of its patron saint is held annually on March 5 with the new version of Trelawny having been written last summer by BID Camborne manager, Anna Pascoe, and sung online by the Ingleheart Singers. To mark the occasion this year, MAGA, the Cornish Language Partnership, is creating a Cornish translation.

The Camborne Town Deal board has unveiled the nine projects it is proposing in a ground-breaking town investment plan that was submitted to government late last week. They include re-developing the bus station into a state-of-the-art, multi-purpose work, entertainment and living space: creating a world-class fibre park; transforming the appearance of the high street; opening up a network of cycleways; renovating the recreation ground; creating new sport and amenity facilities; facilitating food and farming enterprise and turning the town’s Donald Thomas Centre into a contemporary crafts hub. The Government selected 101 towns throughout the UK and invited them to apply for a possible £25m each of regeneration funds. Camborne is just one of four selected in Cornwall – the others being Truro, Penzance and St Ives.
