Thank you for your interest in this proposal. 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 proposal, amend or abandon. Following this, respondents will be notified of the outcome.

We are proposing to introduce No Waiting at Any Time restrictions (double yellow lines) and a new 40mph speed limit in connection with the Park Deg Erow (Higher Newham Farm) housing development on Morlaix Avenue.

What are we consulting on?

As part of the agreed highway improvement works between the developer and Cornwall Council, the scheme proposes the introduction of waiting restrictions at Park Deg Erow (the access road to the development) and a new 40mph speed limit along Morlaix Avenue. These restrictions are intended to prevent inappropriate parking and improve road safety for all users.

The highway improvements also include a new shared-use pedestrian and cycle path, together with a signal-controlled junction.


Why are we doing this?

These changes will stop vehicles from parking where they could block drivers’ views, or make it harder for traffic to move safely in and out of the new housing development. The lower speed limit is being introduced to improve safety for all road users and to ensure vehicles approach the new junction at a safer speed.


Next steps

Once the consultation ends, we’ll review all feedback and decide how to move forward.
