Liberal Democrats are calling on the Labour-run council to give more funds, after they confirmed that there is “No Allocated Funding” For Road Safety Sign in Gowerton.
In the last edition of FOCUS we reported that we were continuing to pursue Welsh Government to have 20mph signs added to the Eastern end of Langdon Road. We can confirm, Welsh Government contractors have come and added these signs. The road will not be painted to highlight the 20mph zone as this will become the default speed in Wales in September 2023.
A consistent complaint from residents is summer parking on Aurora Green. £4,000 had been ear- marked by Cllr Bennett to prevent this. Works being undertaken on Aurora means this area will become a builders compound for about a year. As part of the “putting right,” Cllr Bennett’s plans will be done by the builder, at no cost to the tax payer!
Residents of Ferrara Square, were becoming increasingly concerned about the overgrown trees around Ferrara Square. Your Lib Dem FOCUS team contacted the Council, who have agreed to get the trees cut back early in 2023 ahead of the growing season.
The Footpath on Trawler Road was beginning to become overgrown by bushes and impassable for pedestrians. Having been reported by your FOCUS team, the Marina Office came out and cut them back the very next day! Thank you to the Marina Office team for their swift action.
Please get in contact if you have any questions for Sam or want to raise any issues with him.
