Helen speaks to Llynclys residents amidst calls for safety at crossroads

North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan spent time out on the doorstep talking to Llynclys residents amidst an ongoing campaign to improve safety along the A483 and at the Llynclys crossroads.

The MP had earlier in the year petitioned constituents on the need for road safety improvements alongside the A483, and has regularly met with representatives from National Highways, West Mercia Police and the Welsh Government regarding calls for improvements.

Many residents raised the need for a lower speed limit and stronger enforcement measures along the stretch.

Helen Morgan MP said, “Residents in Llynclys want to see real action to improve road safety at the crossroads, not just words. I’ve been doing all I can to push forward the campaign for improvements and to put the case for local people across as clearly as possible.

“Thank you to all the residents in Llynclys who stopped to chat and shared their views. This is a huge issue that impacts safety for all the nearby villages and anyone heading into Oswestry from the Llanymynech side of Shropshire, so I am very keen to see progress made soon.

“We had over 400 signatures on our petition to improve safety on the A483 from our teams going around the villages which the road passes through, which was a good proportion of households in the area, so there is clear public demand to sort this problem out.”
