Mistakes admitted in Welshpool one-way system
Thursday 15th September 2011, 1:42PM BST.
Civic leaders in Welshpool admitted for the first time that mistakes have been made with the town’s controversial one-way system.
But they said bad drivers are still to blame for some of the problems.
At a meeting of Welshpool Town Council planning committee last night, councillors said they would be supporting a Powys County Council review into the system.
Town clerk Robert Robinson said motorists were partly to blame for the increased traffic chaos and some were still failing to heed the new system, which opened earlier this year. He said the town council was working hard to iron out the problems rather than just ‘rolling over’.
It comes after motorists and business owners complained about the system.
Councillor Steve Kaye said the speed limit needed to be reduced to 20mph in an attempt to stop people speeding around the system but admitted there were problems with it.
Councillor Alan Crowe suggested that councillors walk around the system in another attempt to note all the problems.
