Gordon Brown has begun his tour of the South West by visiting the Eden Project in Cornwall.
The Eden Project has contributed £700 million to the local economy. Eden uses local suppliers wherever possible, employs local people and supports local businesses in Cornwall and the South West.
He will then visit the East End Community Village scheme, built on previously derelict land, the project is part of Plymouth City Council’s Sustainable Community Strategy. The village provides a range of community services including a special housing scheme for the elderly, a Primary Care Centre, shops and a business enterprise centre to help local firms get started.
The £14 million scheme won the Regeneration Award at the Local Government Chronicle Awards, held on Monday 17 March at the Grosvenor House Hotel.
