“I am absolutely thrilled that one of the Portas Pilots areis to be in my constituency of South East Cornwall. I offer my warmest congratulations to Sally Hawken and the Liskeard Town Team for getting the bid together. I know a lot of people worked incredibly hard to be awarded this status and I am so pleased it has paid off. Liskeard has great potential – that is why I wanted my office in the town. I have written to the Liskeard Town Team offering my congratulations and support in their endeavours.”
