StARR Project Newsletter
Welcome to the StARR project newsletter. A great way to keep up to date with the StARR project every month.
Let's Talk Cornwall
StARR has a home on the new Let's Talk Cornwall website.
We met with you in June 2019 and shared information about the progress of the StARR project and we were planning another event last summer. Coronavirus meant that we were unable to do this safely. Instead we've added everything you need to know about StARR on the Council's Let's Talk Cornwall pages.
As well as keeping you up to date on StARR, we'd love to hear your ideas and feedback on what else you and your community could do to make Par and St Blazey even more resilient against flooding.
Find the StARR Project on: Let's Talk Cornwall.
