the bus company through hendy

Well we eventually managed to get the llanelli depot operations manager out for first cymru, on friday

He came out and met residents and Nia Griffith MP with Mr John Mcenvoy representing the county councils highways and safety department.

There were some nine residents present and local councillors.

There were three issues which were discussed to great length,the first and biggest issue was the bus stop at Harleyford Road on the post office side. This is a dangerous stop and an accident waiting to happen.

When the county conducted the traffic calming they added an Island outside the funeral directors, to allow the extension of the halt sign on Harlyford Road, because this junction is on a brow of the hill and cars were always parked near the funeral directors, the new island stops this and gives cars exiting Harlyford road a better view.

 

However its now caused a new hazard with the stop just after the junction, buses as they arrive to the stop are pulling towards the kerb and their near side wheels are travelling over the halt markings, which have been extended past the pavement mark. i'll have to take a photo to explain and show

Anyway they agreed the bus company and mr mcenvoy that this situation is extremely dangerous and they are going to look at extending the pavement into the white hashed no parking signs, this will keep buses away from crossing over the white halt sign.

 

The second issue again arised when the traffic calming was put in, the mini roundabout was added near Arlan Gwili and the bus stop was never replaced. They agreed to put a bus stop in the parking zone outside the rugby club and to investigate, what the law guidelines are for distances from a junction for the other side, if allowed they would put a stop in the current hashed no parking zone on the opposite side of the road.

 

Finally there is a sign outside the st davids church opposite the old surgery, which says bus stop both sides, but drivers are refusing to stop by the bugalows by the school as there is no sign on the surgery side. The manager said phone on the day of the incident and he would deal with the drivers as they are instructed there is a stop on both sides and have no reason not to stop.
