One of the most common issues that is raised with me via email, letter and when meeting local residents is the safety on our roads.

As a former firefighter I am all too aware of the consequences that road traffic accidents have on everyone involved. I feel it is vitally important that we do all we can to make our road network as safe as possible.

Following a recent successful meeting with the Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency I am pleased to be able to report that it was agreed to provide temporary Speed Indication Devices (SID’s) at two locations within the 30mph speed limit on the A470 in Llyswen. Powys County Council are now working to devise a programme for their use in Llyswen in order to maximise their impact. If this scheme proves successful it will hopefully also be implemented in Erwood.

Concerns have also been raised about the junction of the A438 and A479 (Llyswen to Bronllys – Marrish turn) following a number of recent accidents. I will be contacting the Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency to see if improvements can be made along this section of road and will keep you updated with any progress.
