Views needed on Llandeilo bypass
Carmarthenshire's Executive Board is writing to Llandeilo Town Council asking for members to agree a preferred route for a proposed bypass which could help reduce air pollution in the area.
The Local Authority is currently undertaking a detailed assessment of air quality in Llandeilo as well as a major public consultation with the aim of assessing and managing air quality in the area.
Recent exercises have revealed increasing levels of the pollutant nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in Llandeilo, to the extent where the Air Quality Objective set by the Westminster and European governments has been breached.
As part of the assessment and consultation, the proposal for a bypass has been raised as a possible solution.
Now, the county council has asked members of the town council to discuss their preferred location for a proposed bypass at their next meeting, which will allow them to lobby the Welsh Government on the matter.
Leader, Cllr Meryl Gravell, said: “We have written to Llandeilo Town Council asking for its members to come to a decision about the provision of a bypass as a matter of urgency.
“We will then pursue a meeting with the Transport Minister Carl Sergeant with a view to making progress.”
