Safety help for Bryngwyn school
Planning permission has been granted for improvement works at a Llanelli comprehensive to make it easier to cycle or walk there.
Carmarthenshire County Council submitted an application for consent to carry out a range of work in the grounds of Bryngwyn Comprehensive School in Dafen Road, Dafen.
Yesterday’s meeting of the planning committee approved the scheme to provide new cycle storage shelters, a new pedestrian gate and widening the main entrance.
The scheme will also involve improving the routes into the school for pedestrians and cyclists. These include the widening and provision of footways, the provision of a widened pedestrian/cycle access to the school, and the replacement and addition of new lighting columns.
An officers’ report to the committee said: “The proposal to erect new cycle storage at the school is part of the authority’s ‘Safe Routes in the Community’ initiative promoted by the Welsh Assembly Government.
“The facility is to be installed to cater for those who decide to travel in a sustainable and health promoting manner, thus making the choice more appealing.”
