A road closure has been announced in Penarth further along Windsor Road than the current works are based.

On the 25/02/2020 from 09:30 - 15:30 and on the 27/02/2020 from 19:30 - 06:00 Windsor Road will be closed from the former police station down to the roundabout.

Traffic management is already in place at Windsor/ Plassey roundabout for construction works to take place.

The Windsor Road Improvement scheme began on the 7th of October 2019 and aims to provide infrastructure improvements to promote pedestrian and cycle movements in and around the junction of Windsor Road/Plassey Street.

The contractors estimated that this would take around 21 weeks to complete.

Works have included:

• Improvement to the existing roundabout by realigning the kerb-line, this will create increased deflection for motorist utilising the roundabout, therefore reducing speeds of approaching vehicles.

• Creation of rain gardens, planting areas and paving which will also provide a sustainable surface water drainage system.

• Two new toucan crossings on the Plassey Street and Windsor Road arms of the junction, providing improved pedestrian and cycle facilities.

• Further east on Plassey Street - Construction of rain gardens to replace existing junction build-outs which will assist with surface water drainage and ensure a more aesthetically pleasing arrangement.

• New railings to define the boundary between Windsor Road and Dingle Park.

• Entranceway into the park off the Windsor Road/Plassey Street roundabout junction will be enhanced with a new artistically designed feature. In order to accommodate these works, work to the embankment inside Dingle Park will be necessary.

The Vale Council have said: ''Unfortunately, due to the nature of the works and the traffic management required a certain amount of disruption is unavoidable, however, please be assured that every effort will be made to keep any disruption to a minimum.''
