This Vision of St Ives was prepared by the Town Team following responses from traders and the public to a questionnaire in 2019.
We are re-issuing an updated version following the Masterplan proposals from HDC which have been criticised. This report makes suggestions, which we believe can be used to aid a discussion about what improvements the people of St Ives would like to see. This document was produce at no cost to St Ives taxpayers.
