‘Why are we waiting?’

 

Barriers have been plonked on the road outside Welshpool Library for three months, blocking a lane on the one-way system close to the zebra crossing.

 

And it has led to several residents believing it had simply been forgotten about with one asking us: “could someone please tell us what is going on?”

 

But Powys County Council has confirmed this morning that it is on its scope of work.

 

A spokesperson said: “Part of the culvert at Brook Street was damaged and barriers were put in place to prevent further damage. Work will start imminently and, weather permitting, should take approximately a week to complete.”
