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.

Cormac, on behalf of Cornwall Council, is seeking your views on proposed changes to waiting & driving restrictions.

What are we consulting on?

North Parade, Falmouth: We are proposing to remove a section of “No waiting at any time” restrictions (double yellow lines) along North Parade. This change would allow unrestricted parking in the affected area, increasing the availability of parking spaces for both residents and visitors. Additionally, it is also expected that any parked vehicles will act as informal traffic calming, supporting compliance within the newly installed 20mph speed limit.

Gweek: We are proposing to introduce new “No waiting at any time” restrictions in the vicinity of the Old Mill Farm Cottage and The Old Corn Mill. This is to help traffic flow more smoothly through the village. At present, vehicles often park on both sides of the road, creating a bottleneck and reducing visibility at junctions. The new restrictions aim to prevent inappropriate parking that obstructs vehicle movements and visibility for both pedestrians and drivers. Furthermore, it is proposed to amend some of the seasonal waiting restrictions on Meneth road to all year. These areas are never suitable for parking so this amendment will not affect parking availability. However, it will simplify the signage and lining making the restrictions clearer for drivers.

Additionally, a series of remedial measures are proposed to support the recent introduction of 20mph speed limits. These include revised signing arrangements and carriageway roundels in Perranwell and Ponsanooth, the introduction of a part-time advisory 20mph speed limit at Kernick Road, Penryn and the repositioning of the existing Vehicles Activated sign.

Why are we doing this?

As part of the 20mph Rollout it was agreed that each site within the network area would be reviewed after installation, and where necessary supporting measures would be provided in an effort to improve compliance.

These changes are intended to make the roads safer for everyone and to improve the area for local residents and visitors.
