Local residents contacted me regarding the new road layout on the A438 junction at the Marish.

Road works had been carried out to improve the safety of the junction. This work included a new double layer of road studs (cats eyes). Unfortunately the type of stud that was used was causing some considerable noise nuisance to local residents, especially at night when large lorries would drive over the top of the studs.

I contacted the Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency and I am delighted that following the completion of an audit of the road it was decided to try and find an alternative road stud which would reduce the noise but maintain safety levels.

Funding from the Welsh Assembly Government has been secured for this project and the Trunk Road Agency are currently looking for suitable alternatives.

I will keep you informed of developments but I hope that the new, quieter studs will be in place soon.
