Boscawen Park sports hub topping-out ceremony in Truro

Transcript

00:00We're building a community sports hub for Truro City Council.

00:04We've got a sports hall, kitchen facilities, yoga studios, pilates studios,

00:10changing rooms for the new pitches and reception areas.

00:14Work started in September.

00:15We did an underground survey for any unexploded bombs or anything,

00:19seeing it was an area highlighted up in the wall.

00:23We're up to 60 people we've had on site at the moment.

00:25Some are here just for the day, but some are here full-time working.

00:28But we've achieved this in like three months so far for the build.

00:32We've reached the final milestone at long last of topping out this sports hub for Biscowen Park,

00:38which will be a great resource for the local community and the wider sporting fraternity.

00:44We wanted to replace the old tarred changing rooms,

00:48create really good facilities for those using the park,

00:51and this ticks all the boxes as well as creating a community space.

00:55We've paid for quite a large proportion of the cost of this whole project,

01:00including this building, because it's an investment in Truro,

01:04and this is a very popular, well-thought-of investment in Truro.

01:09It's a joy, isn't it, really, to see the money being spent and something happening,

01:14and this has happened very quickly.

01:16And so, yeah, it's a real pleasure.

01:19It's exactly the sort of project that we want to be involved in,

01:21right on our doorstep, like I say, supporting the local community,

01:25and we're very keen to support sport and leisure as well as a sector,

01:30and of course working in conjunction with Truro City Council really is what we're all about.

01:35It will be a really great resource, and I'm sure that we're looking forward,

01:39all of us are looking forward to that opening,

01:42as well as seeing the dry pitches as we've just finished the drainage of those areas as well,

01:48so that will be a really great resource for everybody.
