Council consult on new parking and road layout changes to Llangollen

Denbighshire County Council are consulting on a Traffic Regulation Order to introduce new ‘super short stay’ parking and other road layout changes to Llangollen town centre.

Traffic regulation orders (TROs) are legal documents which are necessary for making changes to traffic and parking restrictions such as double yellow lines and one-way streets.

The council are proposing the following changes to Llangollen town centre:

• Market Street: Remove two parking spaces nearest the junction with Castle Street. Replace one of the taxi rank spaces with a parking space. This parking will be free of charge. Between the hours of 9am and 5pm the parking space will have a maximum stay of 1 hour, and no return to the same space within 2 hours.
• Hall Square (outside Aydin's Fish & Chips): Introduce new, legally enforceable, short stay parking to enable "pop and shop" parking. This parking will be free of charge. Between the hours of 9am and 5pm the parking spaces will have a maximum stay of 1 hour, and no return to the same space within 2 hours.
• Willow Street: Introduce double yellow lines to the left-hand side of the road for the entire length of the road. Introduce additional double yellow lines on a short section of the right-hand side of the road outside the youth club.

The new ‘short stay’ parking will be free of charge, in line with existing similar spaces elsewhere in the town centre. However, they will be enforced by Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs) between the hours of 9am and 5pm to ensure they are used correctly.

Denbighshire County Council hopes that by introducing the proposed changes in Market Street, Hall Square and Willow Street it will improve traffic flow and maintain pedestrian access by reducing inconsiderate parking in these areas.

Councillor Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport said:

“Llangollen is an historically important town in the south of Denbighshire. In addition to being popular with tourists and day-trippers, Llangollen is a 'hub' town which serves a large network of villages and other rural communities locally. We hope that with these changes, the town centre will be safer and more accessible to visitors travelling by foot or by car.

“It’s also important to note that with these proposed changes, there will be no net loss of parking in the town centre and there will be no impact on marked disabled badge (blue badge) spaces. There will also be no impact on bus stops or bus stop locations as a result of these proposed changes.”
