Following successful delivery of various other areas, we are continuing with the countywide roll out.

What are we consulting on?

Cornwall Council is planning to introduce a 20mph speed limit on most residential streets within the Wadebridge & Padstow Community Network Area. This decision follows strong local support from these communities. Where necessary, buffer zones will also be added on approach to these areas. For full details of the proposed locations, please refer to the supporting documentation.

Why are we doing this?

Introducing a 20mph speed limit in these areas will make our streets safer,especially for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users. This change supports Cornwall Council’s Vision Zero goal: working towards eliminating all fatal and serious injuries on our roads.

Lower speeds don’t just improve safety, they make our communities better places to live. Slower traffic encourages more walking and cycling for local journeys, reduces traffic noise, and improves air quality. It also helps create more reliable travel times and healthier, more connected communities.

By reducing the dominance of traffic, we can make streets more sociable, support local businesses, and give everyone easier access to community facilities. Plus, fewer harsh accelerations and braking mean cleaner air and quieter roads, benefiting both residents and visitors.
