Road Crossings & Improvements
New and upgraded crossings on the routes children and residents use every day.
About Millbay
Millbay has changed faster than anywhere else in the ward. New apartment blocks, Millbay Academy, the marina and a working ferry port share a small area and the same road network, which is why so much of the casework here is about traffic and pedestrian safety.
Jon secured new road crossings on Millbay Road and Martin's Street, plus speed detection signs on Millbay Road and Sawrey Street, specifically to protect children walking to Millbay Academy.
