Humphry Davy School 14 Oct 2020 Here @ HDS we are very excited to read about the launch of Cornwall Council's Manifesto which sets out how it wants to make Cornwall the UK's leading rural creative economy; shining a light on the creative economies of our rural region. As a community school in the heart of Penzance, we are proud to be involved in many community festivals and activities throughout the year, with the highlight of the year being 'Golowan'! The Manifesto, which sets out plans to provide more support for businesses in the creative and digital industries, also highlights a Creative Cluster planned in Penzance, Truro and Liskeard. We watch with interest as the plans go before the Cornwall Council's economic growth and development overview and scrutiny committee when it meets on Tuesday (Oct13), and we look forward to the boost this may provide for our local economy, as well as the opportunities for us to expand our 'creativity in the community' over the coming years!
