Renewed attempts to call on the Welsh Government and the South Wales Trunk Road Agency to tackle traffic issues in Lower Town, Fishguard have once again been supported by local Assembly Member Paul Davies. Mr Davies has been calling on the Welsh Government and relevant stakeholders to deliver a footbridge to better support pedestrians on the A487 as heavy traffic continues to have an impact on the narrow pavements. To date, no progress has been made in tackling the traffic problems in Lower Town meaning that it would be almost impossible for emergency vehicles to pass through the village.

Mr Davies added “The campaign to see vital improvements to this stretch of road is an important one and one in which myself and others continue to support. Despite positive commitments from the Welsh Government in the past, the truth of the matter is that no progress has been made and the residents of Lower Town continue to suffer. I know only too well from my own experience of the dangers of the road and I’m bitterly disappointed that the Welsh Government and the South Wales Trunk Road Agency continue to drag their heels in delivering a solution. It’s high time that the Welsh Government reconsiders its position and gets on with the job of relieving the traffic in Lower Town and making the area safer for local people.”
