Funding Secured For Well Known Accident Hotspot in Brymbo

A campaign to secure road safety investment at a well-known accident hotspot in Wrexham has been successful.

A total of £40,500 of ‘accident reduction funding’ has been secured for the the B5101 – along with a section of the Brymbo Link Road now known has Heritage Way.

The funding comes as a result of a successful bid to the Welsh Government.

It will be spent on improving signage in the area and surface treatments at various locations.

Last year Brymbo Councillor Paul Rogers successfully secured a reduction in the speed limit to 40mph following requests from concerned residents in Tanyfron.

A bid to include the Brymbo Link Road for the additional funding was made following a large number of accidents in late 2015.

The Council has since worked with North Wales Police to monitor speed in the area.

Commenting on the news Councillor Rogers said: “I am delighted that following a significant amount of work by Wrexham Council officers they have secured this additional funding.

“This funding is on top of recent investment to reduce the speed limit and additional road safety markings.

“Road safety on the Link Road has been a priority for residents in Tanyfron and the surrounding areas for some time and I am delighted to have assisted secure this investment.”
