NEWLYN HOUSES
MODERNISATION SCHEME COMMUNITY DIVIDED LONDON, Oct. 25. Newlyn is divided over the Penzance Council’s scheme to modernise homes. While fishermen are protesting to the Minister of Health, and have sent representatives to London, 400 younger residents have sent a petition asking that the homes be demolished, declaring that they are unhealthy. Many families are split up over the controversy. For instance, a couple favouring demolition occupy a house owned by the wife’s father, who wants it retained. The petition states: “Newlyn is no longer a fishing village. A few elderly persons man out-of-date boats, but their sons are not going to be fishermen. They are finding employment in Penzance and elsewhere.”
