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.
