BALFOUR BEATTY ARE REPLACING THE MAIN SEWERS ON BEHALF OF SOUTH WEST WATER
The main A39 road through Camelford, was closed on Monday 3rd October 2011 in the afternoon.
The machines began drilling at approximately 12.00 noon the following day. A trench was dug across
the road outside the Liberal Democrats club and new large bore pipes were embedded in concrete.
Tarmac was laid and they continued working up the right hand side of the road by the Library.
The original estimate for the length of time the work would take was 8/10 weeks but at a public meeting, this was revised to eight weeks. The roadworks are now complete!
As from Wednesday 30th November the A39 is now OPEN. Provision was made to clear the road for the Carnival on Saturday 29th October, which went ahead as planned. The date for switching on the Christmas lights - 3rd December @ 19.00hrs followed by a Fireworks display @ 19.30hrs. also went as planned. Cornwall Highways will be back in January to close the road again when resurfacing starts.

LOCAL TRADERS MONTHLY SATURDAY MARKET
From July this year Camelford has had a local traders market on the last Saturday of the month. This has proved to be quite successful in bringing visitors to the town as well as creating interest among those that live and work here. The market was organised by the Camelford and District Chamber of Commerce who purchased the Gazebos offered. Volunteers start the day by setting them up.
Market traders normally pay for their "pitch" but Town Council have agreed to waive the fee for this year to help get the project off the ground and established.
If the weather is bad arrangements have been made to use the back room of the Liberal Democrats Club. A special Christmas Market was held on 17th December which also proved successful.

PROPOSED SUPERMARKET FOR CAMELFORD
There are two proposed sites for a Supermarket, one at each end of the town.
To the North on a much larger, privately owned site, there is room for a good size store with ample parking. This will run alongside Victoria Road behind existing houses opposite the new Victoria Gardens development. The plans for this project have been designed by Walker Developments for planning consideration in competition with the Tesco bid. It remains to be seen who will buy this scheme.
Both have offered the town a new, much needed, medical centre!

TESCO MAKE THEIR BID FOR A STORE ON THE OLD PRIMARY SCHOOL SITE
On Wednesday 4th January Tesco made a presentation at Camelford hall to show plans of a proposed new store on the old primary school site at the top of Camelford.
This land is owned by Cornwall Council and has been purchased - subject to planning permission - by Tesco. Adjacent is the playing field that we understand they are not allowed to build on. It is suggested that a Tesco Extra store will be ideal for this site!
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
