Possible pedestrian crossing(s) for Grampound

Bob Egerton, Cornwall Councillor, set up a meeting this morning with Peter Tatlow of Cormac to explore the Section 106 money provided by an agreement with the developers of The Tannery housing project in Grampound. The agreement says:

"for the study into the need and viability for pedestrian crossing(s) on Fore Street, the implementation of any traffic regulation order (tro) that may be necessary and the construction and/or laying out of such pedestrian crossing(s)"

It may be possible to release some of the available funds (the total amount is £44,800) to explore likely crossing points in coming weeks. A further study (probably in 2014) of pedestrian and vehicle numbers would be required when The Tannery development is complete.

"Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 allows a local planning authority to enter into a legally-binding agreement or planning obligation with a land developer over a related issue. The obligation is commonly referred to as a 'Section 106 Agreement'." Source: Planning Advisory Service
