Introduction:

We, the residents and supporters of Newquay, unite in opposition to the conversion of Pentire House from a community co-working space to corporate offices for larger, out-of-town businesses. Pentire House is more than a building; it's a vibrant hub for local entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creatives—the heartbeat of Newquay’s economy. Turning it into corporate offices threatens our unique spirit and collaborative culture.

Why This Matters:

Support Local Business Growth: Pentire House offers affordable workspace that helps small businesses and freelancers thrive. Losing this space will displace those who rely on it to grow their ventures and contribute to our local economy.

Community First, Not Corporations: This space was built to foster a business community. Replacing it with corporate offices prioritises external interests over local needs. Newquay must remain a place where community comes first.

Loss of Accessible, Creative Space: For many, Pentire House is a sanctuary for networking and collaboration. Corporate offices will make this space inaccessible to those who helped make it a success.

Economic Impact on Local Residents: Allowing larger corporations in will push local businesses out, harming our economy and reducing opportunities for residents and small business owners.

Preserving Newquay’s Unique Identity: Newquay is known for its tight-knit community and entrepreneurial spirit. We must protect our town’s character by prioritising local initiatives over corporate interests.

Our Request:

We urge Pentire Estate to halt plans to convert Pentire House into serviced offices for larger corporations. Instead, we ask you to:

1. Protect Pentire House as a community-focused co-working space for local freelancers and small/independent businesses.
2. Engage with the Newquay community to ensure the space remains affordable and accessible.
3. Reject corporate interests that do not serve our community.

Together, we can preserve our town’s character, economy, and sense of community.
