A war of words has broken out over what a former community councillor has called an "unsafe" cycle route which it's been claimed will take away street parking. However, the council leader has said her claims are false and "falls below that expected of an elected member".
Ms Thomas said the action needs to be taken over the proposed routes put forward for Mayals Avenue, Fairwood Road, Linden Avenue, Moorside and West Cross. She said: “These routes need to be urgently re-assessed. They are not safe. Residents of Mayals Avenue, Fairwood Road, Linden Avenue, Moorside and West Cross, are very annoyed that shared cycle paths have been included on the next Active Travel NM submitted to the Welsh Government and will take away some on road parking.”
She added that Councillor Mark Thomas in a meeting last year indicated the cycle route would not be re-routed along Fairwood Road and in a public meeting said: "It's not in anybody's interest to implement schemes that don't work."
