£1.2 million active travel improvements on Penrhos Road, Bangor
Work has begun on significant improvements that will make it easier for people to walk and cycle safely in the Ffordd Penrhos area near Bangor.
Having secured £1.2 million of Active Travel support from the Welsh Government, Cyngor Gwynedd has collaborated with Transport for Wales to develop the plans. The current work is part of the first phase of improvements from the Coed Mawr area to Coed y Maes in Penrhosgarnedd.
Ffordd Penrhos connects residential areas with schools, travel centres, the hospital and employment areas. The aim of the work will be to provide a safe means of travel as people travel to school, work and leisure in the area.
In total, officers arrested 151 people on suspicion of driving while under the influence on Gwent roads; 81 people on suspicion of drug-driving and 70 people on suspicion of drink-driving.
A joint operation by South Wales Police and Swansea Council’s Taxi Licensing Division inspected the roadworthiness of taxis and taxi drivers in Swansea.
