A public event next month will show how Cornwall Council and CORMAC aim to build Cornwall’s first cycling town.

Drop in sessions will be held at the Shire House Suite in Bodmin on July 8 (9am to 6pm) and July 9 (9am to 4pm).

An exhibition last year revealed ambitious plans to regenerate the town centre and connect Bodmin with the Camel Trail and cycle hubs at Lanhydrock and Cardinham Woods.

Since then the Council and CORMAC have been meeting key representatives from the local community. This has helped shape a scheme which, say managers, will transform the centre of Bodmin, improving it for businesses, residents, visitors and anyone connected to the town.

Councillor Lance Kennedy, the Mayor of Bodmin, said: "This scheme will produce a sustainable future for Bodmin, the roads will be safer, the air cleaner and opportunities for all of us better."

During the event, plans showing the timings of traffic management and road works will be available to view and representatives from the Council and members of the construction team will be on hand to answer questions.

Information about the works will also be available on the Council’s website at www.cornwall.gov.uk/bodmingrowthdeal
