Port authority pledges to make big changes
NEWLYN'S Harbour Commissioners have vowed to deliver major changes to the port despite recently rejecting £3 million in grants to build a new fish market.

Among the improvements promised are a new electronic auctioning clock – a system widely used in other major ports such as Plymouth and Brixham. The pledge forms part of an open letter being sent to every household and business in Newlyn to reaffirm the commissioners' commitment to the future success of the fishing industry in Newlyn
