Updated plans for a new-look open space area and bus stop at the Malakoff, in St Ives, have been put out for statutory consultation by the Town Deal team.
The scheme is being funded by the St Ives Low Carbon Transport Strategy, which aims to reduce the impact of vehicles on St Ives and introduce measures that encourage walking, cycling, and the use of public transport. It is being delivered by Cornwall Council in partnership with the St Ives Town Deal board.
The Malakoff scheme is due to be implemented in two phases:
- Phase 1: introduction of a new bus layby and amended footpath.
- Phase 2: provision of a new bus shelter, seating, paving and landscaping to enhance the existing location.
The statutory consultation, which is being led by Cormac in partnership with the St Ives Low Carbon Transport Strategy project team, is focusing on the first phase of the scheme. This involves changes to the road network. Feedback will be used to inform the final design for the first phase.
Details of the Phase 1 plans, including maps and drawings, are available to view on Cornwall Council’s website. To take part in the three-week consultation, which runs until 5th March, visit cornwall.gov.uk/TrafficConsult. Responses can also be provided via email at traffic@cormacltd.co.uk.
Subject to the results of the consultation, work on implementing the first phase is scheduled to begin in March.
