PUBLIC CONVENIENCES – POSTED 23.03.20
Due to the current situation with COVID -19, Tintagel Parish Council have elected to the closure of public lavatories with immediate effect.
.
March 2020 – Scheme Background
The A39 has been identified as part of the DfT designated MRN which provides potential funding for schemes in period 2020 – 2025. DfT’s guidance suggests Government funding for MRN interventions will normally be between £20 million and £50 million, with 15% Local contribution from promoters.
The A39 Atlantic Highway improvement (Camelford bypass) scheme was identified as a MRN priority scheme in the Regional Evidence Base (REB) work undertaken by the Peninsula Sub National Transport Body (STB) last summer. Subsequently a Strategic Outline Business Case (SOBC) was submitted to the DfT in 2019.
At their meeting 24 July 2019 (link here) Cabinet supported the submission of the SOBC and committed in principle to provide a 15% local contribution in line with DfT requirements
The current traffic problems and associated issues in Camelford area and the objectives of the scheme are detailed in the Cabinet report and summarised in the graphic appended.
Recent progress and way forward Programme
A series of public consultations were held in January and February 2020 showing the route of the proposed road. There were 585 attendees and the feedback (by 9th March) shows 79.2% support with 15.7% against and 5.1% did not give a response. The consultation period ends on the 16th April 2020. The scheme is fully supported by Camelford Town Council and is included within the draft Neighbourhood Plan as their key objective for transportation.
The next step on the scheme is to develop the preliminary design leading to the submission in the autumn of the OBC to the DfT. The work for the OBC will include a review of the feedback given by residents in the recent consultation with an improved design will try to accommodate the wishes of the residents wherever possible. The traffic modelling used for the SOBC will need to be updated to produce a more robust traffic model to ascertain potential traffic reassignment and journey time benefits of the scheme. A series of technical and environmental surveys will also need to be carried out along the route. All of this work will allow a better determination of the likely construction costs alongside a more robust traffic model that will feed into the economic model justifying the scheme. A further review will be needed of local development and likely business investment that may follow the opening of the bypass.
Approval of the OBC means the scheme would have achieved ‘Programme Entry’ with DfT essentially agreeing in-principle to fund delivery of the road. This decision is likely to be made towards the end of this year or early in 2021. This will be followed by preparation of the Final Business Case that will include all statutory approvals including obtaining Planning consent and securing the required land.
Briefing Note

The cost of developing the scheme to OBC stage was estimated at £808k. An announcement in the budget on the 11th March 2020 confirmed that the Government will provide £540k to Cornwall Council to develop the OBC for the scheme. This is lower than the 85% level of funding sought (£671K) from DfT by the Council in the SOBC submission. The Council is currently investigating how to make up the shortfall to progress the OBC and implications this will have for programme delivery of the scheme.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic – it’s time for Tintagel to rally round!
Never in peacetime has there been a more important moment for us to rally the community spirit of Tintagel and do all we can to support each other through the difficult weeks (probably months) ahead.
This week the parish council has ordered emergency supplies of toilet paper, soap and disinfectant which we’ll be distributing free to older people and some of the most vulnerable residents in our community. We’ve closed the Tintagel Visitor Centre and will be using it as a storage and distribution facility – we’ll bring you more news on this shortly.
In the meantime, local residents are already doing their bit to ensure anyone who’s in self-isolation due to the coronavirus outbreak doesn’t feel abandoned by their community.
In Trethevy, residents have set up a Facebook group offering to help anyone who’s self-isolating, particularly those who don’t have family and friends living locally. The “Trethevy Community” group has brought together a team of neighbours ready to provide support in the form of shopping, posting letters, ensuring the continuing supply of essential medications or simply offering a reassuring chat on the phone. The group provides useful information about local shops offering to take orders by phone and deliver to people’s homes – this could be crucial in the coming weeks as supermarkets become overwhelmed by panic buying and a huge increase in online shopping. For the benefit of people who aren’t internet savvy, the Trethevy group has delivered leaflets to more than 30 local homes offering help and providing a contact telephone number which residents can call for advice, help or just a listening ear.
We’d like to see residents all over Tintagel developing similar initiatives. We know we have a strong community here but we need to make sure no-one “slips through the net” and is left alone, isolated, afraid and without support at this very worrying time.
You may have seen on the news that a Cornishwoman has designed a print-at-home template which is what the Trethevy residents used to spread the word about their support group. They’ve had a really heart-warming response to their leaflet drop so you might want to do something similar. You can download the postcard here
People forced to stay at home and missing their daily walks, game of golf, local exercise class or whatever form of activity they normally do, may want to try these online exercises, developed by Age UK and specifically designed for older people to do in the comfort of their own home. We all know that loneliness is an epidemic in itself and there’s a real risk that it will get worse in the current crisis, especially with the latest Government advice to avoid all non-essential social contact. For older people with no-one to talk to there’s a free, confidential telephone helpline Silver Line which offers information, friendship and advice 24 hours a day.
Finally, it’s important to keep up to date with the latest information about how to prevent the spread of the virus and what to do if you fall ill. There’s a lot of conflicting advice and misinformation circulating at the moment so use the NHS England web site for the latest official advice.
Stay safe everyone and we’ll bring you more news in the next few days.
Having discussed the current situation, regarding the spread of Coronavirus, with the Chairman of the Parish Council, it has been decided that the Tintagel Tourist Information Centre will close with immediate effect. This is a temporary measure. In the event of an EMERGENCY ONLY please contact the Parish Clerk using the details below.
We will monitor the situation and advise you all of any changes.
Keep safe!

Carolyn
