Written Question
Roads: Cornwall
Wednesday 23rd March 2022

Asked by: Cherilyn Mackrory (Conservative - Truro and Falmouth)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment he has made of the road safety of the Cubert Crossroads in Cornwall; and whether his Department will release funds to improve this junction.

Answered by Trudy Harrison

Following a number of serious accidents at the A3075 Cubert Crossroads junction, Cornwall Council is seeking funding to improve it. In August 2020, Cornwall Council submitted an Expression of Interest for the scheme through the Department’s Local Pinch Point Fund. The Fund has been superseded by the £4.8 billion Levelling Up Fund (LUF) so I would encourage Cornwall to consider submitting a bid for the second round of LUF later this year. In addition, we are providing Cornwall Council with £32.46 million in Highways Maintenance funding in each of the next three years. This is an un-ringfenced grant which may be used for local road improvements.
