How much money's being given to Cornish towns to help boost regeneration
Truro, Camborne, St Ives and Penzance will all benefit
Towns across Cornwall are getting a share of a big cash pot to help boost regeneration and growth projects.
The government funding is in response to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Camborne and Truro are each getting ÂŁ750,000 and Penzance and St Ives are getting ÂŁ500,000 each.
Over 100 towns across England will be given up to ÂŁ1 million to kick start regeneration projects and give areas a boost.
This funding, which ranges from ÂŁ500,000 up to ÂŁ1 million per town, will be used to support projects that will make a difference to the area, such as new green spaces, the creation of pop-up businesses spaces, pedestrianising streets to encourage walking or cycling and creating of new community hubs to support those living alone.
"Our Towns Fund will help to share prosperity across the country and level-up. This ÂŁ80 million funding for immediate investment is a real boost for our towns and will help them thrive with investment in transport, technology, skills and culture.
"It will give towns across the opportunity to drive economic growth and improve prospects for their communities, which will be vital as the country respond to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. We are fully behind our high streets and will support local areas to build back better."
