Businesses, residents and road users in Cornwall are being urged to have their say on the A30 Chiverton to Carland Cross upgrade before consultation ends next week.

Close to 1,000 people attended a number of public information events throughout February, and this is the last chance for people to give their views on proposals to dual the 8.7-mile section of the A30.

Consultation on the proposals for the Highways England scheme continues until March 12 and anyone who would like to comment can still do so at highwaysengland.citizenspace.com/he/a30-chiverton-cross-to-carland-cross-statutory-con/

The planned upgrade will offer drivers more than 100 miles of dual carriageway between the M5 and Camborne in Cornwall.

The cost of developing the scheme is being partly funded by an £8 million contribution from the European Regional Development Fund, with an additional £12 million for the construction phase. The remainder of the cost of developing and delivering the scheme will be funded by central Government.
