Sarah Newton meeting

We have been co-ordinating with Sarah Newton MP, to organise another session for the benefit of businesses to discuss business rates and other high street issues. The date for this meeting is earmarked for Thursday 19^th July at 3.30pm in the Town Council Chambers on The Moor. I will give more information nearer the time.

Well done to all concerned in the organising of the Fal River Festival, another excellent event and a reminder that this weekend is the Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival. Enjoy!
