Less traffic on the roads

I feel, without doubt, that having far less cars on Cornwall’s roads would be an enormous benefit to life in general and may even go some way to saving the planet. It’s easy to say we should all cycle or walk to work or whatever. But how easy or safe is it to do these environmentally friendly things?

There are not enough busses. The trains are too crowded and not always punctual. The cyclist is faced with a mishmash of bits and pieces of cycle lanes - some safe others not. Pavements are none existent in many areas.

Now is the time for serious planning by Cornwall Council in order to provide the necessary infrastructure to create a more meaningful and sustainable life for all.

The Councils engineers and planners should stop putting the motorists first and really try to build a better environment for the future.
