Action Called For On Danger Road


Carl Sargeant AM Call’s for Urgent Action to Improve Safety on Danger Road
Alyn & Deeside Assembly Member Carl Sargeant has called on Flintshire Council to make urgent safety improvements to the A5104 before there is a fatality on what has been deemed a danger road by local residents.
Carl Sargeant AM joined protesting residents in Treuddyn today to demand urgent action and to warn of the dangers that the A5104 presents local residents in Treuddyn on a daily basis.
Speaking after the demonstration Carl Sargeant AM said;
“I am urging Flintshire Council to ensure that safety measures are introduced on this Council owned road immediately, there must be no more delay, the people of Treuddyn deserve to be protected from the misery of speeding traffic on this dangerous stretch of road.”
Calls to improve road safety on the A5104 are being made at the same time that details are emerging that the County Council has cut the amount of funding available for introducing speed restrictions in the County. Flintshire County Council has cut the level funding by fifty thousand pounds in this financial year.Responding to the news of road safety budget cuts Carl Sargeant AM said;“Lives are at risk on this and many other local roads and I find it most disturbing to learn that this all important budget has been reduced this year.”
