Seaside town's unfinished promenade car park 'looks dreadful'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Improvement works at Llanfairfechan's promenade car park are yet to be completed, due to ongoing negotiations between the council and Natural Resources Wales. Now residents have written to the council concerned that the car park could be left in its current 'dreadful' unfinished state over the busy summer months. Conwy Council announced over a year ago that the free car park at Llanfairfechan, along with several others across the county, would see parking charges introduced with charges of 80p for one hour, £1.60 for two, £3.60 for up to four hours, £5 for over four hours, and £6.20 for 24 hours. Drivers will be charged £1.20 to park overnight. The council said the improvement works would include improving the drainage, installing EV charging points, and adding 18 grasscrete car park spaces in the overflow section. They said at the time: 'The improved car park will have car parking charges, which will contribute towards the cost.' Sign up for the North Wales Live newslettersent twice daily to your inbox. But the work has continually been delayed, with several residents, as well as Llanfairfechan Town Council and county councillors, writing to Conwy asking for updates on the delay, some with flooding concerns. 'We are now growing concerned that the unfinished part of the car park will be left in the state it's currently in over the summer months,' said one concerned resident. 'I have checked the planning portal, and even to someone who isn't an expert in flood management, it seems that without the other flood defences being in place or in the planning stages, it is highly unlikely that NRW (Natural Resources Wales) will approve the grasscrete.' They added: 'I do hope you are not planning on leaving this section of car park unfinished until the flood defences are in place. It looks dreadful.' The council's planning officers said in a letter to residents the council had been prevented from completing the work, due to a dispute with Natural Resources Wales not being resolved. A spokeswoman for Conwy County Council added: 'The majority of the improvement work to the car park area has been completed and parking is available. 'The work has included resurfacing, re-marking, the creation of disabled parking bays, and the inclusion of infrastructure to facilitate the future installation of EV chargers. The Traffic Regulation Order process for pay-and-display machines is currently underway.' She added: 'Work on the remaining section of the car park is due to begin next week. We are also going through the planning application process to convert the grassed area near the car park into additional parking spaces." NRW was contacted for a comment. Public notices in your area

Council looking to clamp down on parking near Wepre Park
It comes just a month after the local authority introduced charges at the popular Deeside beauty spot's car park. There were concerns raised by some local residents that introducing the charges would lead to more wreckless parking on streets near Wepre Park. And now, Flintshire Council has issued a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for No Waiting at Any Time restrictions on a number of roads near the park. Accompanied with the TRO, a council statement says: "The introduction of the proposed No Waiting At Any Time restrictions are intended to address indiscriminate parking on the main carriageway when using the facilities at Wepre Park, maintain visibility and to ensure that the junctions are not obstructed by parked vehicles. "Parking at junctions, regardless of the presence of yellow lines, is an offence and the restrictions provide a visual deterrent to reinforce this message. At present, should vehicles be parked within 10 metres of a junction, an act of criminality may be committed and would therefore be subject to enforcement action by North Wales Police. "Furthermore the Highway Code states that vehicles should not park near or on a junction as they may cause obstruction and compromise safety for all road users." MORE NEWS: It adds: "The county council continues its responsibility to consider the provision of convenient and safe movement of motor vehicles and other traffic, and the proposed measures are aimed at ensuring that danger is minimised to vulnerable road users aswell as improving the amenities of the locality." The following roads are listed in the TRO: Objections to the proposed order, together with the grounds on which they are made, should be sent in writing to Katie Wilby, Chief Officer (Streetscene and Transportation), Alltami Depot, Mold Road, Alltami, Mold CH7 6LG, by Friday, June 27 or by emailing transportstrategyconsultation@ quoting reference SS/TRO/JB/71.

Wrexham Council plans to reduce speed limit on A534 in Holt
It comes following the inquest opening into the death of Emma Jane Hill who sadly died in a crash on the A534 Wrexham Road in Holt on Sunday, April 6. At the opening of her inquest, coroner John Gittins issued a Prevention of Future Deaths report to Wrexham Council over safety concerns about the road. He said: "Following discussions with the Roads Traffic Policing Unit of North Wales Police, I am concerned that although at this location the A534 is a comparatively straight stretch road, the visibility from the junction when turning right out of the village in the direction of Wrexham may on occasions be obstructed by signage and/or by vehicles which are slowing to turn into the village. "Furthermore as this straight stretch of road is subject to a national speed limit following a 40 mph zone, traffic may be accelerating or travelling at speed, thus creating risk both for persons exiting the junction and traffic which is continuing along the main road. "It is also my understanding that there have been previous collisions in this vicinity in the past." North Wales East and Central senior coroner, John Gittins (Image: Newsquest) A petition was also launched which called for a reduced speed limit on the road - and has gathered nearly 1,500 online signatures. Wrexham Council has since responded to the coroner's report - and said it is working with Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWAC) on road safety improvements, including a reduction in the location's current national speed limit. MORE NEWS: Darren Williams, the council's chief officer for Environment and Technical, said: "I can confirm that our Network and Asset team leader has liaised with colleagues from CWAC in relation to the speed limit reduction. "Whilst this would be subject to a formal Traffic Regulation Order consultation process, both local authorities have given a principle commitment to reducing the speed limit on this road and doing so in partnership as the road crosses the border. "Additionally, the location has been assessed by our Road Safety Officer. It has been determined that the junction would benefit from some minor alterations and we have already raised the sign on the junction to improve visibility. "The other improvements can be achieved with amendments to the road markings."
