The Towns Fund is a £3.6 billion fund for towns across the UK to support local economic growth. Penzance and St Ives are two of 101 towns nationally, and 4 in Cornwall, that have secured Town Deal Funding. Cornwall Council is the Lead Authority for the Town Deals programme in Cornwall. We support the governance of the Town Deal Boards in both towns.
