Accident- girl knocked down on Penrhyn Avenue

This weekend brought some very sad new's when a little girl was knocked down on Penrhyn Avenue. Reports to date say she is comfortable in hospital. My family would like to express to the family concerned our best wishes for a speedy recovery. I have had people write to me expressing concern over much of the traffic problems in Maesgeirchen, the speed is just one, the conjestion, the need for more off the road parking facilities. These things are not trivial points and this weekend's accident has proved it. MATRA sent a letter 12 months ago to the Highways Dept,asking for speed ramps to be put at the corner Wern Las by the swings and play ground , it is 12 months later and they are still waiting to do a Traffic Survey. The area where this accident happened you have Busses off loading, you have a shopping area & Post Office, and opposite you have a playground and houses. Why is there no Crossing there? Surely this would be a good idea and is not going to cost the earth. At least then traffic know they should be prepared to stop if they see someone approach the crossing. It is also a shame that we do not adopt the same principle as the USA that if a bus is stopped anyone who overtakes it is prosecuted and even sent to jail.
