A good reason for Newlyn to stay focussed on the future

Cornwall's increasing reliance on the tourist industry, where jobs are often seasonal, has created real rural poverty - over the last twenty years in the Penwith area, almost all the light engineering and other manufacturing businesses that once employed many have shut their doors. Both Penzance and Newlyn, with fishing and other port based industries and businesses, must fight to extract as many employment opportunities as possible in the coming years.
