A NEWQUAY surf school has a fresh new look after receiving funding to spruce up its shopfront.

Newquay Activity Centre in Fore Street has been repainted ready for the new season.

The surf school was among the businesses that received to help rejuvenate the streetscape from Trenance to Fore Street after Newquay BID secured A grant from Cornwall Council’s Town Delivery Fund.

The project came about after a town centre business approached Newquay BID about accessing funding to refresh the look of their business.

This led the business group into looking what funding was available, find out if any other businesses wanted financial support with rejuvenating their shopfronts, and to apply for Cornwall Council funding.

The funding awarded is supporting businesses with a range of improvements, from re-painting to replacing canopies.
