Safety Campaign through residential village continues
On Saturday 18th November over 100 local residents of Glandyfi, Eglwys Fach and Ffwrnais marched on the A487 through their villages to garner support for their ongoing campaign for a safe walking route through the villages. They are asking the Welsh Government/Trunk Road Agency to reduce the 40pmh to at least 30mph and/or create a pavement to allow people to walk to church, to see their friends and for the children to walk safely, to get to the school bus. The march started with speeches from Ceredigion Councillor Catrin Davies and Senedd Ceredigion Constituency member, the Rt Hon. Elin Jones, who came to support the campaign and to apologise on behalf of the Welsh Parliament for failing to solve the safety issues in the villages, since the campaign started in 1972. The march took 1 hour to make its way through the villages, managing heavy traffic as they went. There was plenty of support from passing cars and lorries, who would be happy to drive more slowly to avoid more fatal accidents on this stretch of road.
