P-04-393 Llanymynech and Pant Bypass Action Group
Petition wording:
We call upon the
Welsh Government to reinstate plans for the bypass of the villages of Pant and
Llanymynech which straddle the English/Welsh border. 15,000 cars and lorries a
day pass through these two villages, and it will only increase once the plans
for the wind farms get the go-ahead. We
call upon the government now to proceed with their plans, or at least open up
talks on the bypass and have a full debate, listening to our needs and the
voices from our community on how this road is affecting us and our quality of
life. We hope, by doing this, that the
English government will then take note and proceed with plans on their
side. We would like a full and open
debate on the need for a bypass for the villages of Pant and Llanymynech, which
then, will develop into the actual construction of the bypass once funds are
available.
We are fed up of
the noise, the pollution, the fact that we cannot walk our children to school,
walk to the shops, or walk our dogs along the road. Road improvements such as widening, will not
work here. The road was initially
designed as a single track lane for horses and carts. The houses on both sides
of the road often touch the edge of the road, and there are many lanes which
feed onto the A483, which will again make it unsuitable for improvements. A bypass is the only option we feel, taking
the road from Llynclys (which is absolutely deadly) around the villages of Pant
and Llanymynech and joining the new bypass by the edge of Llandysilio. This is the main trunk road between
Manchester and Swansea, and it is not fit for purpose. We have many MPs and AMs
on our side and we are determined to get this done, and have a full debate in
the Assembly on the subject.
