§ 25. Mr. EdwardsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the danger to pedestrians crossing the A4042 at the pedestrian crossing at Croesyceiliog. [66294]
§ Mr. HainPedestrian safety is of paramount importance to the Welsh Office. Since an at-grade crossing place was provided in late 1987, no reported injury accidents involving pedestrians have occurred at this point, and the situation is constantly monitored.
During the design of the Llantarnam Bypass scheme and the subsequent Public Inquiry careful consideration was given to the issue of pedestrian safety.
Additional signing was provided, advising pedestrians and motorists of the crossing point and to help encourage pedestrian use of the upgraded subway.
Officials have recently agreed to meet with local residents for a discussion of their concerns in this matter.
In future this will become the responsibility of the National Assembly.
