About the Sustainable Travel Network Project
The Sustainable Travel Network project is a practical response to the Climate Emergency declaration made by Penzance Town Council in 2019. It aims to enable residents and visitors to make more sustainable and greener choices for how they travel by:
- creating more public space and greenery in Penzance;
- building a network of safe and accessible walking and cycling paths;
- reducing traffic congestion and pollution;
- improving the health and well-being of residents and visitors, and;
- supporting the local economy and regeneration.
The proposals focus on several locations including Market Place and Green Market, the top of Causewayhead, Branwells Gyratory, Coinagehall Street, Market Jew Street, Wharf Road and New Road.
The Sustainable Travel Network project is being delivered by Cornwall Council in partnership with the Penzance Town Deal Board. It is part of seven revitalisation projects funded by £21.5million from the Government’s Town Deal programme.
About the Penzance Town Deal
Penzance was one of four locations in Cornwall selected to bid for the Government’s £3.6b Towns Fund, which aims to drive economic regeneration and level up the region’s economy.
Penzance secured a Town Deal of up to £21.5 m in June 2021, after submitting a Town Investment Plan that outlines seven projects to revitalise Penzance and Newlyn.
To implement the plan, Penzance Town Deal Board collaborates with funded partner organisations and Cornwall Council. Together they aim to create a thriving, resilient place with a diverse economy, providing quality jobs, opportunities, homes and lifestyles. Somewhere that’s welcoming, connects locals and visitors to its inspiring coastline and culture, and puts people and planet first.
These projects are part funded by the Government's Town Deal programme and delivered by Cornwall Council in partnership with the Penzance Town Deal Board.

Take Survey
In June 2021, the Government announced that Penzance was successful in its bid to the Town Deal Fund. Penzance has been allocated up to £21.5 million from the Town Deal fund to support seven projects that will improve the town’s prosperity, infrastructure and sustainable economic growth.
The project is a practical response to the Climate Emergency declaration made by Penzance Town Council and Cornwall Council in 2019. The Sustainable Travel Network Project aims to make improvements that will enhance the town centre and enable residents and visitors make more sustainable and greener choices for how they travel.
Through this survey we would like to hear your views and gather your comments, concerns and ideas so we can set out a development that everybody can be proud of. We anticipate this questionnaire will take up to 15 minutes to complete.
Thank you for your time.
