Welcome to Redruth, the Heart of Cornish Innovation. 

Redruth Town Council comprises fourteen councillors, who make up Full Council and five additional Committees: Asset Management, Community, Finance, Planning and Staffing. 

Redruth Town Council is deeply disappointed that Redruth was not shortlisted for Town of Culture, and we know that feeling will be shared by many people across our town.

We warmly congratulate the towns that were shortlisted and wish them every success as they move forward in the process. We are incredibly proud of the ambition, creativity and commitment shown throughout the bid process.

The work brought people and organisations together, strengthened local partnerships, and highlighted the cultural energy, heritage and potential that make Redruth such a special place. The ideas, enthusiasm and relationships developed through the bid will not be lost.

We remain committed to building on this momentum and continuing to support culture, creativity and community ambition in Redruth. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the bid and who continues to champion Redruth. There is still much to be proud of, and much more to come.

We are deeply saddened that Camborne library was forced to close its doors on Saturday, following unacceptable anti-LGBTQIA+ remarks and threats. Libraries are vital community spaces—places of learning, openness, and belonging for everyone—and it is disheartening to see such values undermined.
