G7 Summit in West Cornwall

West Cornwall is full of narrow, winding roads. Sure, they've dualled the A30 and added bypasses but, beyond the A roads, many villages in that area are a pain to drive around even in a moderately sized car. I doubt it's much improved since I last visited because widening and straightening the streets would mean demolishing many buildings.

When I consider how one plans for a conference with very important people with many large, fancy cars and entourages, I can't help but wonder, St Ives? Really? Were, say, Cardiff and Newcastle unavailable? Maybe it's all rather more practical than I expect but if my event planning people had proposed such then I'd have raised an eyebrow.
