PENZANCE HARBOUR
THE FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS
Here's a chance to have your say and get involved with the most important maritime development in Penwith since some bright spark at PDC (now well defunct) in a stroke of pure genius saw fit to fill in the existing harbour to make a car park - probably the only harbour in the world to have taken that course of action.

For an example of what can be achieved with a little foresight and taking advantage of EU funding, look no further than the tiny Breton port of Saint Quai Portrieux - a town much smaller than Penzance but with a much bigger vision of how things should be when you have been gifted a natural harbour to start with - rather than fill in the existing harbour to make a car and lorry park, the French built two new breakwaters and created a huge port for the local fishing fleet - all of 5 boats over 10m! and a 550 berth yacht marina when before there were any yachts using the port at all!
