Speed Indication devices given go-ahead for Llyswen

August 26, 2009 11:09 AM

Liberal Democrat Councillor for Bronllys Ward Cllr Clair Powell today expressed her delight that finally the funding has been made available for the allocation of Speed Indication Devices on the A470 in Llyswen, near Brecon.

Cllr Powell said:

"I was delighted to receive a letter from the Deputy First Minister and Minister for the Economy and Transport, Ieaun Wyn Jones AM, advising me that funds have finally been allocated to provide these devices in Llyswen. Local residents have been asking for these devices to be placed in the village for some time and I am sure they will be pleased to learn that the Trunk Road Agency is now arranging for them to be put in place".

The news comes only twelve months since Cllr Powell was elected as Councillor for Bronllys ward, which includes the villages of Erwood and Llyswen. She has been campaigning for these devices since becoming elected.

Cllr Powell continued:

"We will never know if the recent accident in Llyswen would have been prevented if there had been speed indication devices in the village. However it is vital that drivers passing through the village pay attention to the devices and obey the 30mph speed limit".

Commenting on the news Liberal Democrat MP Roger Williams said:

"It is very good news that finally the Minister has decided to make the funding available for these speed indication devices. It is just reward for Cllr. Powell's tenacity in pursuing this issue and she is to be congratulated for her efforts. I hope that the devices will help raise awareness of the speed limit in Llyswen and in turn people will reduce their speed, thus helping to prevent further accidents in the village and improve residents' quality of life and safety."
