P-06-1408 Make safe the access to the Secret Garden A4042 Goytre Fawr for both pedestrians and vehicles – Correspondence from the Petitioner to the Committee, 11 March 2024.

Hi, Further comments I wish to add:

1. I note that recent investigations have taken place at the site. I am also aware that draft plans were shared with Goytre Community Council prior to Covid. The  draft feasibility report  needs to be shared with the community council who have  not  had further feedback.
2. The two bus stops on either side of the road need appropriate footpaths to allow access – currently pedestrians have to walk on the grass verges.
3. There is no warning that pedestrians might be crossing here.
4. In the long term an active travel footpath alongside the A4042 must be considered.
5. There is a public right of way from the village of Little Mill to the back of the Garden Centre – could improvements be sought to this?
6. I am pleased to note that should there be a favourable review at this feasibility stage and funding be  available  that the detailed design might progress in the 2024/2025 financial year. 

Kind regards,

 Jan Butler,

County Councillor
