LOCAL tradespeople are being invited to chip in to help improve shopfronts in Newquay.

Newquay BID is looking to sign up various trades after securing funding for its shopfront improvement scheme to help attract footfall.

BID manager Mark Warren said: “We are looking for local tradespeople who can support with shopfront improvement works including woodwork, painting, and any other related areas that help make our high street shine.

“We currently have 17 businesses approved for shopfront funding, and we’d love to work with local contractors to help deliver these projects.

“There is a timeline on this funding, and all work must be completed and funds spent by the end of December if local tradespeople have availability, we’d love to hear from them soon.”
