This petition was submitted by Antony Foulkes, having collected 52 signatures online.
Petition text:
We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to introduce effective traffic speed-calming measures along the A487 Trunk Road which flows directly through the middle of the neighbouring villages of Tre-Taliesin and Tre-r-ddol, and to consult and seek the views of local residents living in these villages.
Additional information:
The
A487 is the major North to South Wales Trunk road running along the
breadth of the West Wales Coast. This Trunk Road carries high and
increasing volume of speeding vehicles and heavy goods traffic into
and through the narrow middle of the Ceredigion villages of
Tre-Taliesin and Tre-r-ddol. In late 2016, villagers formed the
A487 Taliesin Action Group. This local action group has met and
communicated closely with the LLangynfelyn Community Council, Dyfed
Powys Police, Ceredigion County Council and the local Member of
Parliament to undertake an analysis of the issues and potential
solutions. The group have also raised their concerns and offered to
meet and share their views with the North West Wales Trunk Road
Agency, but this invitation has not been accepted to date.
It important that villagers who live day to day with the speeding
traffic are listened to and their views fully taken into account by
the Welsh Government, in order for effective speed calming measures
which safeguards the villagers and road users, to be planned and
implemented.
