Please act now to #KEEP POLMENNOR ROAD RURAL 

#HEAMOOR #GULVAL #PENZANCE 

Polmennor Road is a country lane that links the villages of Heamoor and Gulval, near Penzance in West Cornwall. It’s a narrow, winding rural road, much used by horse riders, joggers and cyclists, and by students walking to and from school.

Out-of-county developers Devonshire Homes want to use this lane to bring construction traffic onto their proposed housing development site at Trannack Farm. That means low loaders and articulated HGVs, ready mix concrete trucks, mobile cranes, skip lorries, and 32-ton tipper trucks. They also want to use it for access to around 30 of the 320 new houses on the site.

This country lane would be spoilt forever, and the extra traffic would cause havoc and stress to the residents of Heamoor and Gulval: many of the narrow village streets have no footways and they are busy with pedestrians, especially at school run time.

There’s no need to do this. What’s more, it’s against Cornwall Council policy, which says that the Trannack site should have “emergency access only” onto Polmennor Road.

So we are calling on Cornwall Council to enforce their own policy and
KEEP POLMENNOR ROAD RURAL!
