Thank you for your interest in these proposals. The consultation period has now concluded.

Any feedback received during this time has been recorded and will be considered by senior officers at Cornwall Council.

A decision will be made in due course as to whether to proceed with the proposals, amend them or abandon them. Following this, respondents will be notified of the outcome.

Outcome

Thank you for participating in the recent consultation regarding the proposal to extend the existing 30mph speed limit to encompass the new development and its associated junction access.  I am writing to inform you of the outcome. 

The responses received were supportive of the proposal, and no objections were raised. It was suggested to extend the 30mph speed limit along the entire length of Boundary Road, as it was felt that the current 40mph limit could encourage higher speeds.  

The proposed 30mph speed limit was agreed as part of the planning approval process and the associated legal agreement with Cornwall Council, so it cannot be changed as part of this scheme.   

However, Cornwall Council is planning a wider programme of speed limit changes in the Bodmin areas, including the introduction of 20mph limits.  AS part of this work, a separate consultation will be undertaken to consider reducing the remaining section of Boundary Road from 40mph to 30mph. This consultation is currently expected to  take place in September 2026.

Following consideration of all representations, it has been resolved that the scheme will be implemented as advertised.

The developer has been advised accordingly and will be responsible for the installation of the required signage. Please note that the revised speed limit will not come into force until all necessary works have been completed on site.



What are we consulting on?

We are seeking your views on a proposal to amend the speed limit on Boundary Road, Bodmin.

This proposal includes an extension to the existing 30mph speed limit to encompass the new development and the junction providing access to it. This will be complemented by the provision of new street lighting and a new shared-use path for pedestrians and cyclists.

Why are we doing this?

This proposal has been brought forward as part of a Section 278 agreement between Cornwall Council and a developer. The aim is to improve highway safety for all road users by reducing vehicle speeds along Boundary Road.
