A historic building in the Cornish town of Cambourne has been acquired with plans to transform it into a new arts and crafts centre.
The Donald Thomas Centre, a grade II-listed Greek Revival building in the town centre, has been purchased by the Create CIC group using funds drawn from the £23.7m awarded through the government’s Town Deal for Camborne.
No specific financial details for the purchase and subsequent refurbishment of the facility were provided, but the Town Deal funding awarded to Create CIC was partially match-funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Community Led Local Development (CLLD) programme to renovate the building.
