Consultation for new 20mph zones
Proposals are currently out for consultation on a new 20mph zone which will cover parts a number of North Wales villages near the Shropshire border.
The proposals, put forward by Cefn Community Council, are aimed at encouraging people travelling in and around the area out of their cars, meaning they won’t have to get behind the wheel if they want to travel from one part of the Cefn and Plas Madoc area to another.
The areas involved are Plas Madoc, Cefn Mawr, Acrefair, Newbridge and Rhosymedre.
The main focus of the plans is make sure parents and guardians can walk their children to and from schools in the area, rather than having to rely on driving to school.
Any views on the consultation should be e-mailed to darren.green@wrexham.gov.uk.
Councillor David A Bithell, lead member for environment and transport, said: “Encouraging people out of their cars is one of our key aims in tackling carbon targets – but it can also help people stay healthier for longer, and help provide better links between communities.
“I’d encourage anyone interested in the proposals for the routes through Cefn Mawr, Rhosymedre, Newbridge, Acrefair and Plas Madoc to take part in the consultation.”
