Wide area of loose and uneven brickwork creating a trip hazard. Injury has already occurred. Risk to pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles., 29th March

Loose and significantly uneven brickwork in the road surface outside my property is creating a serious trip hazard and risk to road users. The affected area is quite wide, with multiple bricks lifting and moving underfoot, making the surface unstable. I have already tripped on this and injured my ankle, and it may have also contributed to back pain. This presents a clear risk to pedestrians, including children who play in the area. The loose and uneven surface also poses a risk to vehicles, including potential damage or instability for cars, cyclists, and motorbikes, particularly where the bricks shift under weight. The condition appears to be worsening over time and requires inspection and repair as a matter of priority.

Dangerous parking on blind S-bend causing reduced visibility and forcing single-lane traffic. Regular obstruction creates a safety risk for drivers and pedestrians, including children walking to school and people accessing nearby facilities. Near misses h

There is an ongoing safety issue on the S-bend at Joannies Avenue, St Ives. Vehicles are regularly parked along both sides of the bend, which has restricted visibility. This frequently reduces the road to a single usable lane, forcing vehicles to give way unexpectedly and creating a dangerous situation for both drivers and pedestrians. The area is well used by pedestrians, including children walking to school and people accessing the nearby skate park and field. There are frequent near misses, and I have personally witnessed an incident where two children were nearly struck due to vehicles being forced into a single lane with limited visibility. During the summer months, vehicles are often parked partially on the pavement. Even when this happens, cars are still parked on the opposite side of the road, further narrowing the carriageway. This not only increases the risk of collisions but also blocks access for pedestrians, including dog walkers and those with pushchairs, forcing them into the road or onto the grass. There are also concerns that emergency vehicle access could be restricted due to the obstruction. This situation appears to conflict with Highway Code guidance regarding obstructive and dangerous parking. I would request that this location is assessed as a priority, and that appropriate measures such as double yellow lines are considered along the S-bend to improve visibility and safety, particularly ahead of the summer period when usage increases.

A Taste of Cornwall

Last weekend, there were celebrations in towns across Cornwall to mark St Piran’s Day.  Over the past few years, we have seen a growing interest in Cornwall’s history and culture. Camborne, Redruth, and Hayle are at the very heart of this revival, and it’s great to see these great industrial towns…

Reducing Animal Testing

Parliament recently held a debate on the use of animals in testing which I spoke in.  In 1986, this country introduced the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act. At the time, it was seen as world-leading and as the gold standard, with its three Rs principles: to replace animal testing wherever…

Confronting County Lines and Building Resilient Communities

One of the persistent challenges that the local police have faced over the past ten years is the problem of so called "county lines" drug gangs and all the associated violence, antisocial behaviour, poverty, and ruined lives that goes with it.   Many of these gangs originate from major cities like…

Community Radio

Last Friday I visited CHBN Radio which is based at Treliske Hospital for an interview about my journey into politics and the highs and lows along the way.  Keith Naylor was the interviewer and he is one of dozens of volunteers who help the Friends of RCHT Hospital provide support to the community…

The Media Bill

This week the Government's Media Bill continued its progress through the House of Commons, and I tabled several amendments to try to improve it and to try to retain incentives for publishers and newspapers to aspire to meet certain standards of journalism. The first of my amendments relates to…

There are around forty schools in this constituency and I have always tried to visit each of the secondary schools at least once a year and the primary schools at least once every five years.  In recent weeks I have visited Bodriggy, Rosemellin, Connor Downs and Mount Hawke.  In particular, I have…

Supporting Wronged Postmasters

Last week, it became clear how effective well-made TV drama can move and shape public opinion. It is an issue that has been ongoing for some time.  MPs across the country have been raising cases with the Post Office and with the Government.  This has promoted reviews and inquiries and legal action…
