Addiction centre plans deferred
Proposals for a drug and alcohol centre in a Cornish town have been deferred by county councillors.

The Christian Alliance Housing Association wants to buy Penwinnick House in St Austell from the council for �650,000.

It plans to turn the building, which is near a school, into a treatment and rehabilitation centre for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts.

But the Council Executive said the issue needed more consideration.

It will be discussed again by a different committee next week.
