08 April 2013. The Coastal Community Fund has opened for applications and the Hayle Harbour Trust, Ltd., a local charity which I chair, will be resubmitting a £1.6 million application for regeneration work on East Quay. Our application in 2012 was unsuccessful, but the evaluation committee has fast-tracked us to resubmit in 2013 - an encouraging sign. We are now working with award winning architects Feilden Clegg Bradley as well as local architect Bob Mims to ensure we have the best chance of winning in this round. The project will generate over 60 direct jobs and many indirect jobs.
28 February 2013. The sluice gates that once controlled the flow from Copperhouse Pool have been saved thanks to an initiative by Cllr. Anne-Marie Rance and Hayle gardener Mike Kemp. They are shown here being installed on the King George V Memorial Walk thanks to North Quay contractors Carillion.
25 February 2013. The power station canteen, for decades an eyesore on the North Quay, has finally been demolished. The North Quay is looking much improved.

17 February 2013. Marine Minerals Ltd. has come up with the idea of processing the sediment in several areas of the sea where the outfall of rivers has left substantial mineral deposits - one of these would be St. Ives Bay. Although the details are still sketchy, they would design a vessel that would move across the sea floor, sucking up sediment, processing it, returning over 90% and then taking the rest to the shore for processing.

The good news is that Hayle Harbour could benefit from substantial harbour dues, the potential bad news could be damage to the bay. MML is commited to doing the work in an environmentally sensitive way. Save Our Sands, the Chamber of Commerce and Hayle Town Council are all taking a neutral position until the full details are known.

The vessel sampling the sea bed for MML

18 December 2012. Cllr. Anne-Marie Rance, as part of her MSc in Science, has written a paper on climate change and coastal erosion as it affects Hayle. Anyone interested in the issues of erosion, sluicing and sea-level rise as they relate to Hayle will find this paper interesting. Read it here.

Scaffolding started to go up around Loggans Mill on Monday 20th March 20

06.  The mill was owned by Penwith District Council, now Cornwall Council, and the scaffolding is designed to support the existing structure and will help to preserve what is a landmark listed building at the gateway of Hayle.  As a reminder that we need to keep pursuing ways to save the building, the following is a count of the number of days since the scaffolding went up.
