Traffic dangers along many streets in Dinas Powys including Mill Road and across the Vale continue to be ignored by the Vale of Glamorgan Council, according to local community councillors.

Mill Road in particular, which links Pen-Y-Turnpike Road with the village centre, is being plagued with irresponsible driving.

Local community councillors are demanding that the Vale of Glamorgan Council take the matter seriously.

Plaid community councillor, Chris Franks said that conditions are unsatisfactory. He paid tribute to community councillor Edward Jenkins who had tried to ensure that the Vale of Glamorgan Council took some action.

"It is dreadful that residents have to deal with such dangerous driving," said Cllr Franks. "Cars hurtle down Penyturnpike or in the opposite direction from the old village. Their selfish behaviour is unacceptable."

Fellow Plaid Cymru community councillor, Anne Asbrey, said that this was one of a number of hazardous lengths of road in Dinas Powys.

"The Vale of Glamorgan Council seem to ignore all these problems," said Cllr Asbrey. "We are told that in a few years time speed limits will be reduced. How the Vale and the police enforce such changes remain to be seen.

"We have once again asked the vale to act. Also we are requesting that the Community Council takes more interest in traffic safety."

The Vale of Glamorgan Council has been contacted for comment.
