Welshpool Town Council looks set to support the community of Belan’s bid to introduce anti-speeding measures as safety concerns grow for a dangerous stretch of road.
The council’s Planning and Development Committee said it will support residents who are requesting that a speed limit of 50mph be introduced, similar to the one through Pool Quay. Their verdict will now be put before full council.
They are also proposing the erection of ‘Hidden Dip’ signs as well as other signage at entrances to the side roads making it clear that it is a no through road as Sat Navs are taking large vehicles down the lanes.
The town council’s support clears the way for Belan to officially apply for the new safety measures to be introduced.
