Here's the gist of the deal worked out between County Hall and Camelford and which I expect to be endorsed at today's budget meeting in Truro:

Discussions with the senior representative for the management team at Camelford Leisure Centre and the allocation of £50,000 from the Leaders contingency have resulted in a plan which allows the Council to make a firm commitment to sustain the delivery of the leisure facility until 1st April 2012. This will give a period of 16 months to work with the management, school and the community to develop alternative delivery options.

So County Hall is giving Camelford sixteen months to make it work. The message seems to be: use it or lose it. This is a significant change from where we were two months ago and shows that community campaigns such as Camelford's clearly make a difference.
