Click on the image above to read the Town Team's vision for the town.

 

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.
