Developments from site

We are delighted to report that developments on site are speeding up!

Pre-works are in full swing with the inside of the Carpenters Shed (see photo above and below) being cleared and concreted.

The scaffolding encasing the headgear is almost complete, which will allow us to take a closer look at the headgear's structure.

Trustees Required!

One of the most significant regeneration projects in the UK is under way in Pool, Cornwall. Heartlands is a £35million pioneering social enterprise, transforming a derelict industrial site into a UNESCO World Heritage Site with new opportunities for business, events, the community and the arts, and acting as a catalyst for the regeneration of the area.

To deliver this vision and to ensure the long-term success of Heartlands we're forming a new social enterprise, the Heartlands Trust. If you want to be part of this great vision and help lead the economic, social and environmental transformation of Heartlands and Cornwall this is a great opportunity for you.

We are proposing to hold an opening evening for all those interested in learning more about a Trustee role at Heartlands on October 21st 2010.

For details of the open evening and any further background information, please contact Scott James, Heartlands Programme Director on 01209 722320 or scott.james@cornwall.gov.uk.

Found balloons mapped out

There have now been 22 balloons reported found from the 'Great Heartlands Biodegradable Balloon Race'. We have had reports from Germany, France and Jersey to let us know that the balloons have manged to cross the Channel.

Mapping the found balloons it can be seen that the furthest travelled is in Germany. Each balloon is represented by a red pin on the map.

There are only 3 more weeks left until the winner of the furthest travelled balloon is announced!
