Is Council and EU funding working for your business? Have your say.

AMION Consulting Ltd have been commissioned by the Council of the Isles of Scilly to evaluate the impact of 4 major regeneration projects financed by the Council, the European Union and the Duchy of Cornwall. Knowing what you think will help shape the future design and delivery of other projects to improve the economy and quality of life on the Islands. The projects being evaluated are:

1. Porthcressa Regeneration: improvements to the infrastructure and environment of the Porthcressa area on St Mary’s (including frontage, Tourist Information Centre, Library and business units).

2. The Airport Development: refurbishment of the terminal building on St Mary’s and improvement to the runways at St Mary’s and Land’s End.

3. Porthloo Boat Park: improvements to the slipway, boatyard and sea defense improvements in conjunction with the Duchy of Cornwall.

4. Porthmellon Innovation and Enterprise Centre (PIE): new purpose-built workspaces and business hub at Porthmellon Industrial Estate.

To assess how useful the projects have been in improving economic, social and environmental aspects of life on the islands, AMION and the Council need businesses to complete our survey; a residents' survey will follow in due course. You can complete the survey at the following link (hard copies available on request from the Town Hall, library and airport):

The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete and your answers will be completely anonymous. Surveys must be completed/posted by Friday 26 February.
