Preparations are well underway for the G7 as the start of the summit edges nearer.

The major three-day international event will see leaders from the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the US, as well as invited leaders from Australia, India, and South Korea.

The event will host world leaders at Carbis Bay from June 11th to 13th, with neighbouring St Ives and the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth welcoming international delegates and media.

In an information leaflet distributed to Falmouth residents and businesses, further information has been revealed about the changes coming to the town over the next weeks.

[H3] Residents [.H2]

• Acceptable ID must be linked to a person's home or business address. This can be a council tax bill, utility bill, bank statement (within the last three months) or a driving licence. Whilst a photo ID is not a requirement, it may help to speed up the process.
