Text of Petition
We call on the National
Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to look at the issue of the
build up of traffic on the A470 around the vicinity of Trago Mills and Cyfartha
Retail Park and put in place a new traffic system to alleviate the amount of
traffic seen at peak times, which can then resolve the constant ongoing issues
residents are facing.
Trago Mills opened its doors
around two weeks ago to the public, Ever since Trago Mills has opened, there
have been constant issues of traffic build up within the local vicinity of
Trago Mills and Cyfartha Retail Park, not only is this happening on the
weekends but it's also happening mid week.
When this issue was
originally brought to the attention of the Cabinet Secretary for Economy
and Transport some time ago before Trago Mills opened, he stated
personally in a letter that the A470 would be able to take the pressures of the
traffic in and out of the area but sadly this isn't the case, The build up of
traffic on the main roundabout of the A470 isn't able to withhold the traffic
load going directly into Cyfartha Retail Park and Trago Mills, not only is this
an inconvenience to the residents that already live close to the area it is
also affecting local businesses within the area and its having a knock on
effect to the economy due to visitors avoiding the area.
Please could you look at the
matter in question again as direct action is needed to resolve this
problem.
