Welcome to Redruth - "World Capital of Cornish Mining"
Welcome to the official Website of the Redruth Town Council, designed to provide a valuable resource of information to all residents and visitors to the town alike. Information is available here to find out more about what happens within the Town Council, as well as the wider Redruth area. We hope this site will be as proactive as possible, to be a two-way channel of advice, assistance and information between local residents and the Council. It will be achieved by involving more people in what is happening in and around the town, providing a platform for communication and discussion of important local issues and an insight into the towns organisation.
September 2010 update:
