Former Mayor of Truro Cllr Bert Biscoe told fellow city councillors that he believed the land on which doomed St Paul's Church stands should instead provide a community hub for residents in the area. The decision that the church, which closed in 2007, will definitely be demolished was revealed in a report by Church Commissioners for the Diocese of Truro earlier this month. Firstly, it was a charitable gift and in my view should stay in the public domain. Secondly, there are two views – one is that the site could be used in order to provide an alternative pastoral community focus for that very large community of residential neighbourhoods clustered around the church. Truro mayor Cllr Chris Wells agreed to follow up the suggestion with town clerk David Rodda.
