LAUNCESTON Town Councillors were 'overwhelmed' with the hugely positive response to the town hall refurbishments, following last week's open days.

Members of the public were queuing at the door before Friday's official 10am opening time, such was the anticipation behind the event.

Ann and Dennis Scott of Launceston were the first to enter the building, and agreed that the town hall was a "great improvement."

Dennis said: "We really like it. It has been very tastefully done and is sure to be a good venue."
