Clwyd West MS Darren Millar has welcomed news that “unpopular” mini-roundabouts on a main road in Kinmel Bay are to be removed.
Conwy County Borough Council have announced that scheduled resurfacing works will include the removal of the mini-roundabouts along St Asaph Avenue and the reinstatement of give way junctions.
Welcoming the news, Mr. Millar, who has been calling for the removal of the mini-roundabouts for years, said:
“Both the resurfacing and removal of the mini-roundabouts will be very welcome news to people in Kinmel Bay.
“The mini-roundabouts have been very unpopular since they were installed some years ago and visibility on the Denbigh Circle/St Asaph Avenue junction was dangerous leading to a number of accidents and near misses.
“Over the years I have had meetings with Council officers to highlight the safety concerns regarding this road and to call for the ‘T’ junction, which was previously there and worked fine, to be reinstated. I have also repeatedly called for the poor road surface along Denbigh Circle to be addressed.
“I am therefore extremely pleased that the Council have finally seen sense and will be removing the mini-roundabouts and re-surfacing the road, making the stretch safer for all.”
The works are scheduled to start in January.
