Update on Healthy Streets Truro scheme

Work is continuing on developing the detailed proposals for the experimental scheme for Boscawen Street which is due to be introduced on 19 July.

As previously explained this is the first stage of a longer term plan to create an ambitious new vision for Truro which will ensure that the city centre is accessible to all parts of the community and provide a safe, accessible and attractive space in the centre of Truro.

This first phase will focus on reducing traffic and pollution levels in the city through the introduction of an experimental 24 hour restriction on through traffic entering Boscawen Street. Access will be retained for emergency vehicles, buses, taxis, cycles and blue badge holders, and for loading and unloading.
