As a town councillor I support this petition. The road is dangerous. There have been serious accidents recently. Many visitors to Fowey are not familiar with the roads so better signage and speed restrictions are absolutely necessary in this instance.

I hope something is done about this before the is a major accident and someone looses there life and think it's ridiculous that they plan to change the whole of fowey to 20 but Newtown where there have been serious recorded accidents under the plans released would remain 60 there is no common sense left in the world

60mph on narrow lanes so close to homes is not acceptable

Drive the road multiple times daily traffic lights would be most ideal for the safety of home owners and road users i feel a speed limit so short would lead to ignorance against it

Too many cars speed through Newtown. I have witnessed too many near misses.

This road is widely known to be far too treacherous for the current speed limit and the recent accidents are evidence of this. Please amend the speed and let’s have no more life changing accidents .

Life outside the garden gate is dangerous. There is no pavement infront of the cottages only a white line to protect pedestrians. There is a lane onto the road with a blind sport to the left from our parking area. 60mph is unnecessary fast when you consider the 20mph in Par with pavements both sides.

Several concealed entrances along this stretch of road which drivers unaware of. 2 serious accidents in the last 18 months needing air ambulance. 2 cars cannot pass safely in some stretches of the road. We need a 30 mile an hour limit through this area to enable cars/lorries/ agricultural machinery time to react to oncoming vehicles

This is a dangerous section of road with no pavements, blind corners and driveways very close to the narrow road. A 60 limit is crazy, it should be reduced.

Some people drive so recklessly on this narrow strip of road, a 30 limit going through Newtown would be very helpful.

This is such a dangerous road with cars traveling far too fast to the extent that I’m afraid to use it & chose to drive via St Blazey now

We live just on the edge of Newtown and have helped at a few of the incidents that have happened. Hidden drive ways with high speed , young drivers and animals. Newtown deserves a speed reduction and definitely better signs.

This is a very dangerous road - personally I have been in a couple of near misses here and worry that there will be a fatality before any changes are made.

Because I visit the town yearly with my family and we have to walk down the road to get to the carpark or the garage and I'm scared something will happen to anyone of us

Always accidents here and the road is very narrow especially where the houses are. The limit needs reduction
