Plans to reduce the speed limit through Nansledan to 20mph have been approved.
In a letter to respondents of a recent consultation, Sara Marchesini, a senior technician with Cormac, said most responses supported the proposals, with many residents believing lower speeds would improve safety for pedestrians, particularly children and vulnerable road users.
Some objections were raised, including concerns about longer journey times, driver frustration and doubts over whether safety and air quality would improve.
Following discussions with stakeholders, Cormac confirmed the scheme will go ahead as advertised. The new 20mph limit will apply to Stret Myghtern Arthur, Stret Euther Penndragon and several nearby residential roads.
A package of pedestrian improvement works is also being developed to further enhance safety. Work on site is expected to take place this month, with the new speed limits coming into effect once construction is complete.
The move follows concerns raised by campaigners about pedestrian safety and the speed of traffic when crossing the A3059 and at the roundabout on William Hosking Road.
Cornwall Council says it will not be reducing speeds on William Hosking Road itself, describing it as a “key arterial route with a strategic function” that would not meet national guidance for a 20mph limit.
