paydisplayNew Tolls at Kerney Bridge? Fishy ?

Some of you may have seen the piece on Spotlight and the interview with Ivan and Carolyn Callanan about the Pay and Display machines dumped in the River Lynher at Kerney Bridge. It was also reported in the local papers. At first it appeared that this was a new initiative by Cornwall Council to charge for parking at this popular spot where people often park to walk and exercise their dogs! Sadly not.

Some reprobate had cut these machines from their bases in Callington and Launceston Car Parks causing thousands of pounds of damage to get the few pounds inside. Kerney Bridge was just a convenient place to dump them. We are lucky to have such a tranquil spot in our parish as the Lynher valley. If you haven’t yet walked along the footpath from Kerney Bridge to Bicton Bridge, there is free parking at Kerney Bridge.
