In September 2024, Marazion Town Council received amazing news that a grant application for £140,000 submitted to Cornwall Council under the Community Levelling Up Programme was successful for the refurbishment of the Maypole Gardens. Never before has this happened in Marazion.
This project, totalling £160,000 was part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
