Limits will be reduced across Cornwall, despite government guidance changing.
It follows a government announcement that guidance on urban speed limits will changePlans to bring in many more 20mph speed limit zones across Cornwall will go ahead, the council leader has said.
Transport Secretary Mark Harper said guidance would state 20mph limit zones were required "where there is a good reason", to avoid "punishing drivers".She said the council would continue to deliver what individual communities wanted. Camelford, along with Falmouth and Penryn, were the first places to see the speed limit reductions brought in, in spring 2022.Ms Taylor continued: "It was our manifesto pledge, and it was a very very popular pledge that we would work with communities who are wanting to bring in 20mph.
"What [councils] should be allowed to do in all cases is act in accordance with the government guidance." Dean Evans, leader of the Twenty is Plenty campaign in Cornwall and Green Party Falmouth town councillor, said: "It's a last-ditch effort from a sunk government.
