00:00 My job is to basically drive footfall into Newquay and its businesses throughout the
00:23 whole year. So we're not just focusing on that summer trade but we're actually walking
00:27 around the town centre talking to businesses, trying to do events, trying to market businesses
00:32 and basically make things happen throughout the whole of the season and then the whole
00:36 of the year including the winter.
00:37 The Newquay Town Team was set up nearly two years ago to look at how Newquay is going
00:43 to progress until year 2050 and look at primarily it is the town centre as how that can be looked
00:51 at, organised, transport, all those necessary things that are going to impact on everybody's
00:57 life for the year 2050 up until year 2050 given the fact that lots of people are coming
01:03 to live in this wonderful town of Newquay.
01:05 It's of massive importance for Newquay. A lot of people talk about Newquay and car parking
01:09 and they can't get in in the summer and in the winter, you know, they can't get a train
01:13 in, they don't want to drive because of the parking. It's always been a really big deal
01:17 for people. It's one of the main things people talk about with Newquay actually. So having
01:21 a train that actually is running every hour with an extra 700,000 seats a year coming
01:27 into Newquay is absolutely fantastic for everybody, for businesses, for locals to be able to get
01:31 into Truro, people can come from Falmouth. It's just amazing. It will really open up
01:36 Newquay for the future.
01:37 Great idea. I think it's something that's going to hopefully revolutionise the way that
01:41 transport in Cornwall goes and allows people to come in and out of the various towns that
01:46 are all joined together now, or will be joined together, by the ideas that have been put
01:52 forward and hopefully the funding will be available and start as soon as possible.
01:58 Businesses need to come along to the engagement event. It's very important that you come,
02:02 you see exactly what's happening and then you make your voices heard. You know, it affects
02:06 everybody within Newquay. It affects, this is going to be a long-term project as well
02:10 that you know will always be there. So if you're a business, look at the plans, discuss
02:15 the plans with Cornwall Council and you know, look ahead and think about the future and
02:20 work with them.
