Members of the public are being invited to give their views on plans to re-design the Consols junction (Zennor) in St Ives.

Part of the wider Low Carbon Transport Strategy, the proposed scheme aims to reduce travel times on the route into St Ives by changing the priority of the junction and improve pedestrian access.

The consultation on the plans, which is open until 19 December, 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.

A preliminary design for Consols Junction was presented at the public update event held in St Ives Library in September. Following some concerns over pedestrian safety, the design has been amended to include a new pedestrian footway and additional pavements around the junction.

There will also be new planting and signage designed to make a more welcoming entrance into the town.

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.

Subject to the results of the consultation, work on implementing the improvements is currently scheduled to begin at the beginning of January 2025.
