Saltash Community Space
A vibrant green realm in the retail heart of the town
Project Overview
Having secured Town Vitality Funding from Cornwall Council, the Saltash Town Team has lead a study to look at options to help create a greener retail heart of the town centre. This would enable Saltash to host events, offer better facilities for outdoor relaxation and bring the community together. It would also help to make the town centre a more successful retail and leisure destination.
In June/July 2023, we engaged with the local community to hear views on making Saltash a better place to live, work, visit and enjoy and in September the recommendations were published. (see below)
