Dismay as A38 safety work delayed for years

PROPOSED work to improve the safety of one of Cornwall's most dangerous roads has potentially been delayed beyond the end of the decade
Dismay as A38 safety work delayed for years

The Department for Transport said promised improvement work to a section of the A38, due to take place between 2025 and 2030, had now been postponed as it "balances the books" 

National Highways launched a public consultation in June 2022 into safety between Trerulefoot and Carkeel, which has a high collision rate. It had announced a package of measures including speed cameras, improved road and junction layouts, upgraded bus lay-bys, reduced speed limits, improved signage, lighting and traffic signalling.

Now the decision to delay work has been met with an angry response in the area, with Kate Ewert, Labour councillor for the Rame Peninsula and St Germans, saying: "To now find out that we're not getting any of the safety measures in the foreseeable future is a massive blow to the residents of South East Cornwall."
