  • improvements to manage more effectively current traffic flow;
  • methods to reduce traffic volume; and
  • a system that can cope with larger volumes at peak times
  1. compiling a priority list of improvement proposals based on traffic survey data and advice from Cornwall Council (as the Highway Authority) and/or others; and
  2. ways to consult and engage residents, Community Groups and neighbouring councils as appropriate, to support and inform this work.
