Are you concerned about motorcycle accidents in the area? Powys County Council is asking for the views of Newtown residents on the matter.
Cllr Liam Fitzpatrick, Cabinet Member for Highways, wants to hear the views of residents and communities across the county about motorcycle accidents and the impact it has on local communities.
“I have been Cabinet Member for Highways for six months and in the thousands of miles I have already covered and the issue of motorcycling constantly rears its head when I’m talking to county councillors, community councillors and members of the community,” said Cllr Fitzpatrick.
“Those who I have spoken to are concerned about motorcycle fatalities and accidents on our roads and the amazing speed they travel.
“Sadly, I don’t have a magic wand that can solve this. However, I would like to compile a report that I can use as a springboard to begin a dialogue with the Dyfed Powys Police and Crime Commissioner, the Welsh Government Minister so that we can begin to address the issues together.
“I would very much appreciate your views from residents and which roads in particular merit attention.
“Anyone wishing to express their views can email me at cllr.liam.fitzpatrick@powys.gov.uk and have until Friday, December 22 to do so.”
