The Environment Group of the Newlyn Fish Industry Forum are working with CCC's Landscape and Urban Design Unit and Cornwall Enterprise to improve and enhance the areas around the proposed new Fish Market.

• War Memorial Area:  Pedestrianise as much as possible, remove overhead wires and improve street furniture and lighting.
• Keel Alley:  Link visually to the Fish Market and generally improve accessibility; possible uses - stalls, performance, etc.

There was a consultation at the Fish Festival which was received favourably. These are the comments made then and more would be welcome.

Two brothers, Neville and Richard Pittman, owners of Seafood and eat it will be driving 4500 miles from Plymouth to Timbuctu in an adapted 16 year old Vauxhall Frontera  2.3 litre diesel. The estimated three weeks journey, which will take them through France, Spain, Morocco, is part of the Plymouth-Dakar challenge. 

Neville and Richard, both ex fishermen turned successful entrepreneurs, are financing the journey from their own pocket but you can sponsor their challenge via the 'donate now' link on their website . All the money raised through their challenge will go in aid to the Fishermen's Mission.

A new presentation of the plans for the new Newlyn Fish Market are available online at www.newlyn.org. 

The plans have been submitted to Penwith District Council by the Newlyn Pier and Harbour Commissioners will be determined in January 08 and will lead to further studies.
