I am sure it has not escaped anyone's notice in the last few days that there have been many very nasty accidents very recently...all with fatalities.
This comes at a time when the video of Andrew Prowse's horrific death just off the Loggans Moor roundabout last year has been released...we are starkly reminded of how dangerous the roads around Cornwall can be; especially when the volume is increased due to the summer season.
I'm not really sure what can be done about this, and I would like to hear your views on it. I believe that people need to be made aware that the roads in Cornwall, although in very good condition, are often narrow and limited speed restrictions are in place where you would least expect them.
If the credit crunch continues to bring people down on holiday from the UK, then do we need to see an improved road network akin to what we saw with the Gosmoor area a couple of years ago? I think it's a fantastic idea to plug Newquay airport as an alternative; Cornwall is far enough away to warrent a domestic route network, and an increase in carriers basing their aircraft at Newquay itself would not go amiss.
