High Street Bagillt

Proposals for a Zebra Crossing on the High Street in Bagillt are now being
considered as part of the safety scheme currently being constructed there.
The scheme was agreed following an extensive period of consultation, including
an informal consultation event which was well attended in the local village
hall.
Some changes were made in response to the comments of local residents, with a
reduction in the number of speed cushions, and a chicane introduced on the
western section of the road to alleviate concerns raised at the consultation
event.
The amended scheme was then subjected to a further formal statutory
advertisement period with notices on site, in the press, and plans were also
made available locally for inspection.
Only two objections were received in response to the advertising, and the
scheme progressed to contract stage.
Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Environment, Councillor Bernie Attridge
said;
The Council is mindful of the disruption that this traffic calming scheme has
caused. We would like to thank local residents, businesses and the travelling
public for their patience whilst we complete these works, which are funded by a
budget from the Welsh Government, with completion required by the end of the
financial year.
A reduction in physical measures has resulted in cost savings being made. This
has now enabled a proposed Zebra Crossing within the vicinity of Foresters Hall
to be reconsidered - subject to meeting statutory legal requirements.
Completion of these works will deliver much needed safety improvements to the
local community ensuring High Street Bagillt remains a safe and rewarding place
of residence for future generations.
