Everyone who cares about their town has opinions about the direction that town should be going in.

Penarth Nub News serves as a platform upon which you can voice those opinions.

Today, Plaid Cymru Community Councillor Chris Franks asserts that Friday's accident on Cardiff Road was a long time coming.

The Vale Council were told that an accident would occur.

Despite repeated warnings that the junction of Cross Common Road and the main road [A4055] through Dinas Powys was dangerous, the Vale ignored residents.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, there has been a collision between a bus and car at the junction. For hours on Friday (28 May) afternoon, the main road was blocked as a result.

Plaid wants to know why the the Vale Council refused to respond to the public's concern. The council must now urgently undertake the necessary work to make this junction safe.

We checked with the passengers who said that they and the driver were not hurt. We don't have information about the car driver.

Plaid Cymru Community Councillor Chris Franks said, "Many locals avoid using this junction due to the dangers. Traffic speeds down the hill from the station direction. However, the road layout is of a very poor standard."

The precise cause of the crash is currently unknown to Nub News.
