TWENTY-ONE new homes to provide affordable housing for rent to local people have been officially opened in Delabole. The homes at Quarry View, which were declared open by Cornwall Council's Cabinet member for Housing and Planning, Mark Kaczmarek, have been built by the Cornwall Rural Housing Association (CRHA) at a cost of £2.4 million.

They have been built on free land provided by Cornwall Council, who also provided grant funding of £540,000 to supplement the grant of £1.37 million provided by the Homes and Communities Agency.
