The Cornwall Transport Plan
Cornwall Council is refreshing Cornwall’s Transport Plan and want to know what you think about it.
Since the Plan was first published in 2011 some big changes have happened to our society. Most notably, the Covid-19 pandemic and a recognition that we face a Climate Change crisis. These and other factors will affect how people travel and goods are moved. We need to update the Transport Plan to take these changes into account, so that transport is well planned for the next decade.
You can see a copy of the draft Cornwall Transport Plan here.
The Plan has six goals and is supported by objectives, policies and proposals. We’d like to know if you think the Plan goes far enough to deliver the following vision:
Transport in Cornwall will strive to be excellent and carbon neutral. Our transport system will connect people, communities, businesses and services in a way that enhances quality of life, is reliable, efficient, safe, healthy and inclusive. People will choose to travel in ways that will have a low impact upon the environment and other people.

The parish council’s response
Menheniot councillors welcome Liskeard’s decision to withdraw the amendment and for the decision to be postponed. However, they are aware that the original proposal has not yet been withdrawn, and so they will be keeping a watching brief on the situation as it develops.
