Camborne Renew Project
2024 Online Public Exhibition
The Online Exhibition has now ended.
Camborne residents were asked for their views on revised proposals to improve public spaces and the way people travel around the town centre. The consultation concluded on the 15th May 2024.
The Camborne Renew project has been amended to reflect the views of those who took part in a public consultation last year and the plans are now available to view online and at Council Offices, Dolcoath Ave, Camborne TR14 8SX .
Changes made as a result of previous resident feedback include:
- there will be more seating and plant greenery in the town centre;
- additional zebra crossings will be installed on Trelowarren Street and Commercial Street ;
- 125 spaces within close proximity to Trelowarren Street will offer free parking for up to an hour, and;
- there will be secure cycle parking in the town.
Earlier proposals for altering the flow of traffic along Trelowarren Street will now no longer take place.
What's next?
We will collate the feedback from the latest 2024 consultation and then provide an update on the next steps for the Renew project.

About the Project
The Camborne Renew project forms part of the Camborne Town Deal Board’s vision to regenerate the heart of Camborne and transform it into a visually appealing, accessible place to live, work, shop and visit.
The Camborne Renew project is about:
- Enhancing the appearance of the Town Centre
- Encouraging longer dwell time thereby supporting high street economy
- Providing a welcoming and safe environment for all users of the town
- Supporting and adding value to the other Town Deal projects
The Camborne Renew is not about:
- Pedestrianisation and banning cars
- Reducing the number of car parking spaces available to high street users
Delivered by Cornwall Council, the team leading on the Camborne Renew project, will be working with community groups through 2024 to finalise the project designs.
