Devon & Cornwall Police and Falmouth Town Council have provided residents of the town with further details regarding the planned restrictions and closure in relation to the G7 Summit which will take place from 11th to 13th June.

The National Maritime Museum Cornwall in Falmouth will be used as the media centre, hosting the world's visiting press and media during the Summit.

The necessary closure of the Museum and car parks in the immediate vicinity will cause unavoidable disruption around the venue.

In order to ensure the smooth running of the event and to keep residents safe, a number of measures will be put in place, including:

Businesses within Events Square/Discovery Quay will be closed to the public from 8am on Monday 1st June to 11pm Thursday 17th June.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is working directly with businesses in the area in relation to the closures.

If you own a business in Events Square/Discovery Quay and haven't been contacted by the FCDO, email: [email protected].

Whilst some businesses will remain open, they will be providing food and drink for the delegates within the media centre.

Tesco Express will remain open to the public.

Square Hairdressers will remain open for pre-booked appointments only.

Residents within Events Square/Discovery Quay and Campeltown Way will be required to produce documentation to gain access to the restricted area.

Ponsharden park and ride/float will remain open until Thursday 10th June. It will be closed to the public from Friday 11th to Monday 14th June.

The Dell car park at Falmouth Town train station will remain open to the public.

The Quarry car park and Gyllyngvase Beach car park will be open to the public.

The car park on Church Street can be accessed prior to 11am daily up to and including Wednesday 9th June. It will be closed from Thursday 10th to Sunday 13th June.

Falmouth Town train station will be closed from Thursday 10th to Monday 14th June.

Harbour access will not be affected.

Richard Gates, Falmouth Town Manager, added:

"I would encourage people visiting the town to use public transport whenever possible to support the businesses. Clearly, with car park capacity being significantly reduced there will be delays so please factor this into your journeys."
