Bodmin (Cornish: Bosvena) is a civil parish and major town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated in the centre of the county southwest of Bodmin Moor.
The extent of the civil parish corresponds fairly closely to that of the town so is mostly urban in character. It is bordered to the east by Cardinham parish, to the southeast by Lanhydrock parish, to the southwest and west by Lanivet parish, and to the north by Helland parish.
Bodmin had a population of 12,778 (2001 census). This population had increased to 14,916 at the 2011 Census. It was formerly the county town of Cornwall until the Crown Courts moved to Truro which is also the administrative centre (before 1835 the county town was Launceston). Bodmin was in the administrative North Cornwall District until local government reorganisation in 2009 abolished the District (see also Cornwall Council). The town is part of the North Cornwall parliamentary constituency, which is represented by Scott Mann MP.

Bodmin is Open ! A film short by Fin Davis, a student at Bodmin College to help promote the town business during the 10 month long road works. Fin worked with John Lakey from Bodmin Community Organisers to film and produce the video with the help from the local traders. The film can now be used for the town to promote the wide range of shops available here, to encourage more people to use the town and take advantage of the free parking. Fin hopes to go to Falmouth University to do a degree in video technology when he has finished at college and John, who is also at Falmouth university studying Entrepreneurship, is driving the youth group forward to work on other projects that benefit the town.
There's a figure of fear standing in the rain
Tell me why have you come back again?
Can't live in misery
And can't let anyone see
The fear finally peels away
But I feel like I'm dying every day
As the needle slides in, the pain slides out
A little less human, a little more doubt
As the needle slides in, the pain slides out
A little less human, a little more doubt
The peace of darkness surrounds me every night
When daybreak returns there's a life-crushing light
No reason to go on
Don't care if I face another dawn
No wish for me to remain
Just want release from this misery and pain
Can't live in misery
And can't let anyone see
No reason to go on
Don't care if I face another dawn
No wish for me to remain
Just want release from this misery and pain
The fear finally peels away
But I feel like I'm dying every day
