🚨 Community Alert in Llandrinio! 🚨 Villagers are rallying together in Powys, calling for a new bridge to maintain crucial connections after a disaster struck their key route. A whopping 1,300+ signatures have been gathered in a passionate petition, highlighting the urgent need for action!
Led by Graham Brown, a former local council leader, the call for a new crossing over the River Severn comes after repeated disruptions. The historic Grade I listed bridge has faced significant damage, most recently in October, causing major travel headaches for everyone from business commuters to schoolchildren. 🚗🏫
The existing bridge is vital for daily commutes to places like Shrewsbury and is an essential part of school bus routes. However, with incidents leading to road closures, the community is feeling the strain. 🤦♂️ Mr. Brown stresses that a new bridge could preserve the historical integrity of the existing structure while alleviating modern traffic demands and boosting local economic activity.
Local councillor, Lucy Roberts, is set to present the petition to Powys council with hopes they’ll take swift action. The community councils have even set up a working group to study the impact and back the push for a new structure. 📝
Building a second bridge isn’t just a want—it’s vital for the community’s prosperity and everyday life! 🌉💼
