Information about west Cornwall, south-west UK • West Cornwall is seen by some as an ‘idyll’, an idealised place of tranquillity, including natural landscapes, with both historic and cultural associations. • Tin and copper mining were important in the past but are now uneconomic compared to overseas production. However this heritage is now celebrated through media representations e.g. the ‘Poldark’ television series. • Tourism provides over 24% of jobs in west Cornwall, although many are seasonal and low paid, with a further 12% working in food related businesses. • Population in west Cornwall is approximately 75,000 and is increasing. Large numbers of affluent older people retire here whilst long term residents experience high levels of deprivation linked to low salaries and pensions, and declining social services. • The trend of long term out-migration of young people is beginning to reverse. • Numbers of EU migrants to west Cornwall doubled from 2001 to 2011. • Cornwall has received £1bn EU funding since 1999 as it is recognised as a socially deprived area. Money has been spent on reducing isolation by improving roads and broadband speeds.
