A scheme to upgrade the existing National Cycle Network route along Newham Road by widening the footway.
The move will create a shared pedestrian and cycle path, as part of the community led Truro Loops project to improve healthy transport links, is to go ahead.
Following discussions held over recent months with Newham BID, the Council has issued a formal decision to recommence works on the walking and cycling improvement Scheme on Truro’s Newham Road.
This decision has been made having full regard to the concerns raised by the Newham BID regarding the width of the road.
The Council has conducted further detailed safety analysis to produce a revised scheme design that retains the important walking and cycling objectives of the scheme whilst also ensuring a road width that enables the safe passage of vehicular traffic.
An important factor in reaching this decision has been the need to balance the needs of all users of the route which forms part of the wider, city-wide, Town Deal and Truro Loops project.
