Work has begun today to provide new signs and landscaping around the Tempest roundabout, Lelant, says St Ives Town Deal.

Tempest roundabout

Improvements to the park and ride scheme at St Erth have made existing signage outdated.

New signs will direct drivers to St Ives via the B3311, and towards St Erth Park and Ride instead of the Lelant Saltings station.

These changes will support the wider traffic management strategy which is being developed for the town, and help to ease the pressure on the wider local road network at peak times, say the Town Deal team and Cornwall Council, who are jointly delivering the scheme.

While the majority of the works will be carried out without affecting traffic flow, temporary multi-way traffic lights will be used on a small number of occasions to ensure the safety of the work force.

The work is due to be completed by Friday, 30th January.
