St Ives, Tempest Roundabout: Signs and Landscaping
This consultation has closed and the response is published below. Construction is now finished.
After consideration of all responses received, and discussion with local stakeholders, it has been decided to implement the proposals for Tempest roundabout as advertised. While the number of responses was limited, the feedback received was generally supportive. Some concerns were raised regarding enforcement of existing parking restrictions. Please note that enforcement remains the responsibility of the police.
We were proposing to improve the signs and landscaping around Tempest Roundabout near Lelant. The details of the original consultation remain below.
What are we consulting on?
The proposals include the renewal of road markings, removing outdated signs, and the installation of new ones. The new signs will direct drivers to St Ives by using the C0159/B3311 route and towards St Erth Park and Ride instead of Lelant Saltings Station. We’ll also be adding new plants to the flowerbeds and grassy areas.
Why are we doing this?
The signage is outdated since the improvements were made to St Erth Station Park and Ride. The proposed changes will also support the wider traffic management strategy developed using Town Deal funding. Addressing the in-balance of vehicles entering St Ives that currently exists will ease pressures at peak times on the wider local road network.
This work is being funded by the UK government through the St Ives Town Deal. More information and news on the Town Deal can be found at the following link: St Ives Town Deal Low Carbon Transport | Let's Talk Cornwall.
