Whilst 29,000 homes (not including holiday/second homes) lie empty across the Duchy. www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/empty-homes-cornwall-housing-ladder-656804 Meanwhile, across Cornwall's roads, more death and chaos. Just another ordinary week in modern, improved Cornwall: www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/woman-killed-a39-helstone-three-655712 www.google.co.uk/amp/www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/car-crash-ststephen-staustell-655617.amp www.google.co.uk/amp/www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/a30-crash-rider-named-659127.amp www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/a39-atlantic-highway-closed-near-660456 www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/a30-crash-described-very-serious-628779 www.google.co.uk/amp/www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/two-dead-several-left-life-522532.amp www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-cornwall-40555493 www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jul/09/three-dead-and-nine-injured-in-five-car-crash-in-cornwall www.google.co.uk/amp/www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/bude-a39-closed-after-accident-401060.amp www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/a388-callington-shut-after-crash-562984 www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/traffic-truro-grinds-halt-after-544143 But for Phil Mason and the planning department, the goal is still a minimum of 52,500 new homes, equating to 100-150,00 more cars, by 2030.
