Work on the second phase of Camborne Town Deal’s Renew highways scheme is due to begin on Monday, 5 January.

Part of the wider Camborne Town Deal Transport Project, the Renew scheme will enhance the appearance of Camborne town centre and improve access for pedestrians and cyclists as well as supporting the local economy by encouraging people to spend more time in the town.

Specific measures include:

  • Adding new seating and plant greenery
  • Improving pedestrian crossings throughout Trelowarren Street
  • A new zebra crossing at Fore Street
  • Extending on-street free parking at the top of Trelowarren Street from 30 minutes to an 1 hour
  • Repairing paving defects in Commercial Square
  • Installing enhanced lighting and CCTV
  • Providing cycle parking

Work on the first phase of the scheme in New Connexion Street began in November. The second phase will be focused on Commercial Street and around the town square.

This will require several short-term road closures with diversion routes clearly marked with advanced signage. Pedestrian access with be maintained during the works, with access for deliveries provided as close to individual businesses as possible.

One hour of free parking is being provided at the Rosewarne car parks in Camborne to help support the local community whilst these highways works are taking place.

Works will continue through into the spring, with plans being developed to ensure that the road is clear and open for Trevithick Day.

Following Trevithick Day, the remaining works (primarily surfacing and laying of the new imprint paving) are due to be completed by the end of May.

Anyone with queries or concerns about the works is asked to call 0300 1234 222 or email Cormac at [email protected].
