Community Assembly of Truro
Serving, supporting and protecting our local community
About Us

The Community Assembly of Truro ('trʊəroʊ' - standard written form: Truru) is located in a cathedral city in Kernow. It is Kernow's sole city and a centre for administration, leisure and retail trading. 


Truro grew as a trade centre through its port and as a Stannary town for tin mining.  Truro's name may derive from the Cornish tri-veru meaning 'three rivers', but authorities such as the Oxford Dictionary of English Place Names have doubts about the 'tru' meaning 'three'. 


An expert on Cornish place-names, Oliver Padel, in 'A Popular Dictionary of Cornish Place-names', called the 'three rivers' meaning 'possible'. Alternatively the name may come from tre-uro or similar, i. e. settlement on the river Uro.

Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
