Meetings

The Committee considered the petition and, as action is already being taken by the Welsh Government and a consultation is planned, it was agreed to thank the petitioner and close the petition. In doing so, the Committee also agreed to draw the petition to the attention of local Senedd Members.

Joel James MS declared a relevant interest in knowing the petitioner concerned. The Committee agreed to write to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport to ask for more details of the study; if the time frames for its completion can be provided to the community and the petitioner; will the public, the petitioner and the community council be consulted as part of the study; will the results/options which are then considered be shared with them; and is there an ultimate timeframe for implementing any proposed recommendations or measures. The petition would be kept open pending that response.

The Committee considered the petition and welcomed action being taken to assess the situation, although noted so far that work had been “inconclusive”.

Members agreed to forward the petitioner’s comments to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales, seeking an update on the timetable for the CCTV survey, how long it will take to be evaluated and a decision made, and what proposals for action the government plans to take.

In doing so, the Committee noted that even where action is recommended, there is a prioritisation exercise for the trunk road network.

Members agreed to keep the petition open pending the Cabinet Secretary’s response.
