Final Locations Chosen For Stadium of Cornwall

Two locations for a sports and events stadium in Cornwall have been identified in a feasibility study.

Truro and Threemilestone have been put forward in the initial findings of the study commissioned by Cornwall Council.

The study, which is to include a business plan and will identify facilities and possible tenants, should be completed at the end of the year.

A team is now looking at options to mitigate any stadium's impact on surrounding areas, the council said.

'Nurturing talent'

Proposals for the stadium include 4,500 seats for sporting events and a capacity of 10,000 for events such as music concerts.

Cornwall Council said that if built the stadium would help nurture regional sporting talent to compete on a national scale.

Stadium specialist Gardiner and Theobald have been working on the £78,000 study.

The council said the work had taken four key factors into account - social, transport, environment and economic.

Truro City Football Club and the Cornish Pirates rugby team have both been involved with the study.

Sounds wonderful, but who is going to pay for it!!!! Certainly not a ERDF eligible project!!! So are we yet once again paying thousands out to consultants in viability studies for a project which will never ever see the light of day?
