Submission from Mr Peter Mulley, B.Sc.Eng

 

 

 

 

1 Cornwall needs the missing links of the A30 to be dualled ASAP,

primarily the Temple section but also the Carland Cross to Chiverton Cross section. Similarly the Liskeard dual carriageway section of the A38 needs to be continued eastwards towards Saltash and westwards to join the A30.

 

2 The A30 in Devon needs additionally to form an Exeter northern

bypass to link with the Honiton Bypass in the east and the A30 in the West with a new junction with the M5, otherwise the M5 at Exeter is likely to become extremely congested. It could also provide a much better link with St Davids Railway Station which is desperately needed.

 

3 The West Country needs two trunk routes from the rest of England

as it is unacceptable to have to rely on just the one from Taunton to Exeter. The proposed A303/M5 link at Taunton would help short term, but the A303/A30 needs to be dual throughout to Exeter without a tunnel at Stonehenge which is an extravagance too far.
