DRIVERS are two and a half times more likely to be seriously injured or die on the A38 than on any other road in Cornwall. That was the stark message a councillor shared with his colleagues as part of a plea to try to help save lives.
Looe councillor Armand Toms announced the statistic as he proposed a motion to dual the major road in south east Cornwall in a bid to make it safer.
National Highways has previously announced a package of measures for the A38 including speed cameras, improved road and junction layouts, upgraded bus laybys, reduced speed limits, improved signage, lighting and traffic signalling.
However, the Department for Transport announced earlier this year that the promised improvement work, which was due to take place between 2025 and 2030, has now been delayed as it “balances the books”.
The work is now planned between 2030 and 2035, which many councillors, residents and businesses in south east Cornwall believe is far too late.
