The Commission said there had been growth in the county’s economy, but not enough to classify for funds. Cornwall recieved £400million between 2000 and 2006 through Objective One, and £500 million between 2007 and 2013 with Convergence.

The council has been told it stands to recieve a further 500million euro of funding between 2014 and 2020.

Chris Ridgers, the Council’s economy portfolio holder, said: ” Given the excellent investments we have made in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, we had hoped that our economy would have been resilient enough to take us above the 75% level, however the depths of the economic recession have had a significant impact.

“There is no easy fix for the economic challenges we now face but the investments we have made have laid the foundation for future growth”.

Former Cornwall Chamber chief executive Richard Glover, said that if Cornwall does get a fresh round of funding, then lessons need to be learned.

“Part of the reason for relative failure of some Convergence investments,” he claimed, “is that we are asking the wrong questions and therefore setting up the wrong ‘help’ programmes.

“We would hope that the existance of a Local Emnterprise Partnership, which is led by the private sector, would be able to add common sense to the aims of any future programme”.
