Members of the public are being invited to give their views on plans to re-design the Terrace junction in St Ives to improve pedestrian access and space, and discourage visitors driving into the town centre.

The proposals are part of the St Ives Low Carbon Transport Strategy which aims to reduce the impact of vehicles on St Ives and introduce measures that encourage walking, cycling and the use of public transport. 

The consultation on the plans, which is open until Friday, 25 October, is being led by Cormac in partnership with the St Ives Low Carbon Transport Strategy project team.  The feedback will be used to inform the final design for the scheme.

Details of the proposals, which include widening the footway at the junction, installing a new road surface, changing the current signs and road markings to direct people towards Trenwith car park, were displayed at the update event held in the town on 11 September.  Notices have been erected at the site, and letters sent to nearby residents explaining about the plans and the consultation.

To view details of the proposals, including maps and drawings, and to take part in the consultation please visit the transport consultation section on Cornwall Council’s website   Responses can also be provided via email at traffic@cormacltd.co.uk.

Following the consultation, a final design will be prepared with a view to construction beginning in early January 2024.

Information about the consultation, and the wider St Ives Low Carbon Transport Strategy, is available on the Let’s Talk Cornwall site and the St Ives Town Deal website.  Please note that responses to the consultation must be submitted via Cornwall Council’s consultation site: www.cornwall.gov.uk/TrafficConsult
