Sheepish way to cross new bypass

But there are also four-legged farm animals who need to find their way across the new roadway.

When the bypass was built it sliced in half a farm run by Mervyn Lloyd-Jones, causing him significant issues when trying to move his flock from one piece of land to another.

When it was being built and some roads were opened, he had to stop traffic in a bid to move his sheep to different land.

Now he has bridges and structures to do that, and earlier this week he captured pictures of some of his sheep spanning the bypass as traffic came past .

Mr Lloyd-Jones has previously been left unhappy with the way that he and other landowners were treated by the Welsh Government in the bypass construction.

Taken

He battled to save the 450 year old Brimmon Oak Tree from being killed off the bypass, and believes the process the government have taken in taking people’s homes and land has been out of order

He said: “Landowners feel that WG and AGC are able to exercise Compulsory Purchase Powers (CPO) with no recourse for affected landowners. WG are answerable to nobody.

“Ground required for the bypass has not been sacrificed, it has been taken with no prior negotiation as to price.

“On no other occasion, can anybody take possession of a piece of ground, build on it, and then decide how much they think they might offer.”

In response at the time, a Welsh Government spokesman said: “Compulsory purchase powers have been implemented judiciously and have been subject to detailed scrutiny during the public inquiry.”
