County Councillor for Bronllys Ward, Clair Powell, has called for further road safety improvements to the village of Llyswen.

Clair said “During my election campaign many residents in Llyswen highlighted the continuing problem of speeding traffic through the village. It is particularly dangerous near the junction of the road to Boughrood as the entrance to the school is by there and many children walk to and from cars that are parked in the lay-by.”

“I welcome the work that has been carried out to implement more road markings in a bid to slow traffic down however drivers are still speeding through the village. I have raised this issue with Kirsty Williams AM and we are hoping to meet with officers from the Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency shortly. I have asked them to look into the possibility of placing 30mph flash warning signs that will alert drivers who are breaking the speed limit. Being a former fire fighter I have seen the consequences of speeding vehicles and It is important that we do all we can to ensure the safety of pedestrians and other road users”.
