An accident waiting to happen

It's hard not to sympathise with Carn Brea South councillor Kym Willoughby, whose attempt to improve the road at Penhallick, near Pool, was rebuffed on Tuesday. There have been three serious accidents in the past six months and 19 accidents in the past decade. Not dangerous enough, came the reply: it's a question of resources. I remember a similar argument about the A30 at Kennard's House on Bodmin Moor, where it took several deaths before the money could be found.
