A public information event will be held this Thursday in Connah’s Quay where residents will get the opportunity to ‘talk through the proposals’ on a number of road safety schemes earmarked for the area. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Flintshire County Council said it has been successful in obtaining funding from Welsh Government to address road safety concerns on Mold Road, Ffordd Llanarth and High Street in Connah’s Quay. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Officers of the council will be on hand at the ‘drop-in event’ to talk through the plans at the Town Council Offices on Fron Road, this Thursday, 11 October between 3-7pm. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Councillor Carolyn Thomas, Cabinet Member for Streetscene and Countryside, said: ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“The scheme will improve safety and accessibility for all road users whilst also benefiting the local community utilising the services and facilities in the Connah’s Quay area.”  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The council submitted six funding bids under the Welsh Government’s ‘Safe Routes in the Community’ and ‘Road Safety Grant’ initiatives. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Other sites identified for improvement include Broughton near Broughton Hall Primary School, road safety schemes near Mountain Lane Primary School in Buckley and near Mold Alun Campus & Ysgol Maes Garmon. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
