PUBL IC SESSION 6.50 pm to 7.00pm Two members of the public. Traffic Calming was discussed. The two roads that give cause for concern a) Ffordd y Llan and b) FFordd y Rhos Ffordd y Rhos has been a concern for a number of years, it is a busy fast road and motor ists tend to enter the village faster than the set speed limit of 30mph, causing a risk to all who use this road. As you enter the village you immediately come into the built up area of private dwellings and sheltered accommodation where many elderly resid ents live. The new development ‘Bro Brwynog’ will also add to the volume of traffic using Ffordd y Rhos. The affect of ‘Boy Racers’ using these roads has also increased, causing distress to the residents. The following was put forward to members for consid eration: - • To focus on prevention before any major effort is put into Traffic Calming . • To work more on speed enforcement and request the presence of the speed camera on a regular basis on Ffordd y Rhos and Ffordd y Llan. • To report the highest risk times, w here Police could monitor the roads. The Chair thanked the residents for attending and assured that TCC will not go ahead with the proposal of Traffic Calming measures until a consultation period has been held. 2. POLICE REPORT PCSO Lisa Hughes reported the following: - • November has been a quiet month in the village, but activity in the vicinity of the Corner Garage on the A5104 has been reported. • Bicycle thefts are on the increase generally, but not in the village. • There have only been a few antisocial re ports received. • If people have anything to report, they should use the 101 number, as the phones of PC Gary Aldous and PCSO Lisa Hughes can sometimes lose signal or the Officers may be on leave. The Chair thanked PCSO Lisa Hughes for attending this evening 3. TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES With reference to information requested from Mr Ian Jones – FCC Senior Engineer (Traffic) a pdf detailing the Report and Policy that the Authority has adopted had been forwarded to TCC. The Traffic Services Manager has confirm ed that all traffic calming requests would have to be considered in accordance with the policy and meet the qualification criteria. Additionally if Town or Community Councils were minded to 3 introduce their own self -funded traffic calming schemes, these too would have to comply with the policy. Mr Jones checked the collision database held by the Authority and can confirm there are no recorded injury accidents within the affected built up area of the village and 4 recorded on the rural length of Ffordd y Rhos from the junction with the A5104 (2 collisions) and the junction with Ffordd Nercwys (1 collision), the other collision was near Ffordd yr Odyn. The Chair stated a petition had been started a number of years ago with reference to the speed of the traffi c but had not progressed. The following suggestions were put forward by members; 1. Look at different options 2. To engage with North Wales Police, and to monitor the speed of the traffic during different times of the day and days of the week. 3. Monitorin g strips – To follow up the request made to FCC from last months meeting. 4. Look into the cost of hiring a speed gun working with North Wales Police 5. The possibility of moving the flashing 30mph sign, as it was agreed is positioned in the wrong place. It was also stated drivers attitudes towards speed limits plays a major factor on roads. The above suggestions and costs will be followed up, it was agreed traffic calming is not a cheap solution if not effective. 4. CORRESPONDENCE 1. Treuddyn Youth Club – The youth club will only be open on a Monday evening with effect from week beginning 26 November, 2012, as there has been problems recruiting a Leader for the Wednesday session.
