Does Pinnacle Road need to close or be restricted?

No. MWCC’s solution operates alongside Pinnacle Road and does not depend on closing the road or charging people to use it.

Further Detail:

Keeping a choice of access was a clear community priority. MWCC’s business model allows visitors to choose the cableway because they value the experience and convenience, while others continue to reach the summit by road. The project does not require people to change how they visit.

The public benefits are shared across both options. Drivers and walkers can enter the Pinnacle Centre free of charge and use its public facilities. A second route also reduces reliance on the road alone, while moving some visitor journeys away from Pinnacle Road eases traffic for those who continue to use it
