TRANSLATION:
The permanent structures will be located in three sites across the town.
The first sculpture will be ready in July, with the other two being erected shortly afterwards.
Robin Sullivan, the artist of The Newquay Monoliths, hopes they will become "a pilgrimage" through the town.
They will be located from Newquay's oldest known settlement, the Bronze age Barrowfields, to the most recent settlement in Nansledan, via the community hub at Newquay Orchard.
The sculptures have been created for and by the community of Newquay.
The Newquay Monoliths have been made using more than 300 casts of the town chosen and made by local people of places that held personal significance to them.

TRANSLATION
The flower may produce superfruit with taste of a blend of melon and pineapple, according to the Eden Project.
It is known as the Tree of Life as it can live for more than 3,000 years and provides food, shelter, clothing and medicine.
The seed for the 8m high tree was collected in Malawi in 1995 and it thrives in dry, arid conditions.
The Eden Project's chief executive Andy Jasper said: "It's incredible to see our African baobab flowering, especially here in the UK.”
The baobab flowers for a short time and horticulturalists will hand-pollinate the flowers.
They hope the plant will produce large fruits.

Saltash Leisure Centre will house the town's registrar service, a health hub and meeting areas for Cornwall Council as well as having updated changing rooms, a new reception area and a refurbished café.
The development is expected to be completed by early 2026.
According to GLL, that runs the leisure centre on behalf of the council, it would remain open during the works.
James Curry, GLL's head of service in Cornwall, said the centre "has come a long way since its future was doubtful during the pandemic" and new health and fitness
programmes together with school and club usage had boosted membership numbers.
That’s all from me, have a good week.
