Prosperity to the local community, or an influx of wealthy outsiders that push out the locals that have lived there for generations?

If it creates some jobs then that's good regardless, but of course you're still right and I saw in the article the quote from the local MP was along the same lines:

"Mining is more capital intensive than it used to be, and not as labour intensive. Part of the challenge is sharing the prosperity"

Personally I really hope this takes off as it could be great for Cornwall. The big challenge will be whether it can compete with international markets if it gets to that point.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
