Traffic calming measures call

 
06/12/2016 @ 09:14

Traffic calming should be introduced along Commercial Street and Cambrian Way to protect pedestrians, including young children attending Penygloddfa CP School, town councillors have urged.

Newtown Town Council has passed a resolution calling on Powys County Council to introduce traffic calming measures along the roads following concerns raised by the school and others.

MyNewtown reported last month on the town council’s expected resolution. It states: “This Council supports the concerns of the Penygloddfa CP School regarding child safety and requests from Powys County Council some form of traffic calming measure(s) along Commercial Street and Cambrian way.

“In addition the new care complex on Cambrian way that will house vulnerable, disabled and older persons adds to the strength of the case for traffic calming measure(s) along Commercial Street and Cambrian way.”
