Stratton School Junction Reconfiguration A39

Anyone else wondering how the new road which would branch off the new Hillhead roundabout (shown at number 1) (approved within planning application PA15/10905) is going to work in conjunction with the new wall built?

Adding children on bikes to the mayhem at the Skitches Corner Junction is a really terrifying prospect......the public path linking the Bude schools desperately needs recording properly on Cornwall Council's definitive map so that children will never have to negotiate cycling out onto the A39.

How many of our planning applications could be based on wrongly recorded facts? The recent outline planning application submitted for a new primary school at Stratton demonstrates this within the Transport Assessment. Legally there is no recorded bridleway over the east-west path linking Bude and Stratton schools and therefore no legal right of way for bicycles as has been described in paragraph 2.11. If any part of this planning application is considered based on getting children safely and sustainably to school then the information presented to the Council and to the public is WRONG. This is one example of why it's so important to ensure our Rights of Way are correctly recorded.

We have a date, in writing, for the junction reconfiguration - 2018 Cornwall Council tell us. Until then there may possibly be some interim measure put in place for getting children safely across the road to school. CC are putting a proposal together for a public consultation. Like the Hillhead junction, some of the funding will most likely come from a developer.
