Remove the bollards in Castle St, Llangollen & reinstate disabled & "pop & shop" parking
Why this petition matters
The changes brought in to Castle Street in Llangollen came about as a result of a flawed initial consultation with Denbighshire County Council.
There was a lack of community awareness on the plans once published and how to respond to them once they were made public.
Since implementation of the scheme its impact has been clearly evident with the complete loss of parking for the disabled, as well as the loss of any loading bay facilities on the high street.
The ability for local residents to pop and shop has been lost impacting Castle Street businesses when they have been able to open.
There are reports that people have been injured.
The justification for social distancing is not warranted at a time of low footfall and lockdown.The measures taken over a 300m stretch of road have no significant impact on the aims of improving active travel.
The lane defenders /bollards and associated fitting are unsightly and should be removed.
