Plans for a new sports and leisure centre in Truro have been given the go ahead.
Cornwall Council has approved the development of a sports hub at Boscawen Park led by Truro City Council and funded by Truro Town Deal.
The hub would provide indoor sports facilities for badminton, table tennis and basketball along with flexible spaces for community events and changing rooms.
The plans also outline the improvement of the existing outdoor sports pitches to allow them to be used for longer during the year and the extension of the pétanque pitch.
Truro mayor Carol Swain said: "This fantastic project will provide new and improved sports and leisure facilities for local residents and visitors alike, and I am looking forward to seeing the new Boscawen Sports Hub opening its doors to the local community in 2026."
