LOGGANS MILL WATCH

Scaffolding started to go up around Loggans Mill on Monday 20th March 2006.  The mill is owned by Penwith District Council and the scaffolding is necessary in the interest of public safety and will include further measures to prevent access.  The scaffolding is also designed to support the existing structure and will help to preserve what is a landmark listed building at the gateway of Hayle.

So that we do not forget to keep focussed on saving the mill, the following is a count of the number of days since the scaffolding went up.

Kerrier Teams with Penwith in Loggans Mill Initiative

Unfortunately, we were notified on 23 February that our bid was unsuccessful in this round.  Ten out of 88 bids were funded.  We are awaiting feedback which we hope to incorporate into a subsequent bid.

Kerrier and Penwith District Councils have teamed to bid for a Local Enterprise Growth Initiative (LEGI) grant to develop Loggans Mill as a West Cornwall Enterprise Hub which will include conference and training facilities, a climbing wall, cafe and restaurant, office space and a crèche.

The objectives of the proposal are:

  • To increase total entrepreneurial activity
    Provide a programme of innovative solutions to encourage more of the population (inc. young people, women, older people and those who are workless) to think innovatively and understand the benefits of enterprise and have the confidence to make enterprise happen;
  • To support the sustainable growth of locally owned businesses
    Provide a unique solution, 'Adopt a Business' enabling out of county businesses to adopt an SME in West Cornwall, and 'Adopt an Enterpreneur', enabling business mentors (including in-migrants and early retirees) to adopt a micro business owner. The aim: to enhance leadership and marketing skills to enable businesses to capture new markets. To provide a 'Make a Difference fund', comprising revenue and capital investment to fund genuine 'added value' proposals from the local business community.
  • To attract appropriate inward investment into deprived areas
    Provide an inspirational venue, capable of capturing corporate conference and training markets from inward investors, in order to boost job creation for those in deprived areas.
