Carmarthen North - Abergwili, Cynwyl Elfed and Trevaughan

A site visit has taken place between the Carmarthen Council Highways Department and the Neighbourhood Policing Team. The placement of bollards has been suggested in the area causing concern. Discussions will take place within the Highways Department to address this as a priority in the next financial year.

Your Neighbourhood Police Team visited the Cynwyl Elfed Community Council Meeting last month where this issue was discussed at length. Your Neighbourhood Police Team and our ‘Roads Policing Unit’ are continuing to monitor the area. Discussions between Highways and the Neighbourhood Policing Team are on-going and we are trying and resolve the matter. We will report on our progress in our next update.

05/04/11 - A speed enforcement initiative has been underway in the village of Llanpumsaint, with visits being carried out by Dyfed Powys Police’s Roads Policing Unit and the local Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Officers spent a morning in the village with a speed camera in an effort to raise awareness of the local speed limits.

“The initiative resulted in 13 fixed penalty notices being given for vehicles travelling in excess of 30 miles an hour,” said PCSO Bethan Hodgkinson. “Two have been considered for a speed awareness course and one driver was stopped for failing to wear a seat belt.

“During the early hours of the morning one driver has been reported for driving without due care.”

Speed checks have also been carried out in Bronwydd Road which resulted in 1 fixed penalty for a vehicle travelling in excess of ‘30’ mph.

Future speed enforcement operations are currently being planned by Neighbourhood Policing Team alongside the Safety Camera Unit and the Roads Policing Unit.

A ‘Speed Awareness Day’ has recently been carried out in the village of Peniel.  This was held in conjunction with your Neighbourhood Police Team and Carmarthen County Council Road Safety Department. Motorists who were identified as having exceeded the speed limit, were given two options. Firstly, motorists were offered the opportunity to speak to pupils from Peniel school so that they could listen to their concerns in relation to speeding near their school.  If motorists did not wish to do this then they were dealt with by means of fixed penalty notice or summons.
The aim of the campaign is to educate drivers and raise awareness of the impact that speeding vehicles have on local communities, and the objective is to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured each year on the roads in Carmarthenshire.
