Text Box: A campaign by St. Asaph Town Council to highlight the growing need for a link road to take heavy traffic out of the city centre and open up the Vale of Clwyd to future expansion has already attracted over 3000 signatures in its initial stages. Members of the Town Council, led by the Mayor, Councillor Bill Cowie and the Chair of the group, Councillor Andrew Thomas, attended three local events to launch the campaign and gained over 1000 signatures at each from people who gave their whole hearted support to the campaign.


 

 




 

Text Box: Many of those signing gave examples of the difficulties they had experienced in driving through St. Asaph and commented on the dangers to both pedestrians and drivers trying to negotiate the narrow roads and footpaths initially constructed to serve nothing more than horse and cart traffic. At a recent meeting with AM’s and M.P. Chris Ruane, Assembly member and Shadow Minister for Rural Affairs, Brynle Williams, gave his support to the campaign and, as a result, wrote immediately to Ieuan Wyn Jones in Cardiff to request positive action to begin the process of securing an alternative route to relieve the city of its traffic problems and provide for the future development of tourism in the Vale. Further meetings are taking place with officers to determine what can be done to reduce the traffic problems in the city. Many local shops and businesses throughout St.Asaph are now holding petition forms for everyone to help boost the campaign by adding their signatures and later members of the campaigning group will be at stands at various locations in the locality. This is the chance for people in St.Asaph and the whole of the Vale of Clwyd to express their protest at the traffic conditions and organisers hope to have at least 5,000 signatures on the petition.
