October 4 - Community grant funded work hub to close
Good Morning,
I keep thinking about the 20 year old girl Elle Koziupa who painted that mural. What a talent. 👏
I feel like she deserves to be a featured story so will write one up next week.
My greatest achievement when I was 20 was that I was able to do a head stand for 12 minutes and 33 seconds. 👊 I know, I know, pretty epic stuff 😆

📖 Featured story
Community grant funded work hub to close
Pentire House is home to a community of 45 freelancers who have all been given notice to quit with plans to transform the building from shared space to serviced offices.
One of the tenants, Here Now Films MD Ed Smit, has written an open letter to Pentire Estate director, Anthony Dann, urging him to reconsider the decision.
“I am writing to you on behalf of the many individuals and businesses that form the vibrant community within the Pentire Estate co-working space. We have recently learned of the plans to transform this shared space into serviced offices, and we wish to express our collective concerns and urge you to reconsider this decision.”
The letter cites several reasons for people’s anger, including the fact that the workspace was originally established with Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) funding.
“You used public money to set up Pentire House: The space was set up with grant funding to help create strong, sustainable communities in the heart of Newquay. The community is the ‘beneficiaries’ of that funding, not the shareholders or directors. Whilst it’s up to you how to manage the business, a lot of us feel that the removal of this asset from the community is in direct violation of your grant agreement.”
The letter also says no first refusal was given to tenants, many of whom “would have willingly rented an entire floor.”
“Yet the floors have already been allocated to companies, some of which are not based in Newquay. Why did you not offer the opportunity to the existing members before offering it to separate companies?”
