Caerphilly council proposes parking restrictions in Crumlin
The plans, put forward by Caerphilly County Borough Council, would affect Hafod-yr-ynys Road in Crumlin.
The proposal aims to ban loading and waiting between 7am and 9.30am and between 4pm and 6.30pm on a specific section of the road.
The restrictions would apply to the southern side of Hafod-yr-ynys Road, starting approximately 25 metres east of the eastern boundary of the property known as '5 t/ves' house and continuing eastwards for about 45 metres.
The council says this is to help manage traffic flow during peak hours.
The proposal is part of an amendment to the existing 2019 parking consolidation order, which already governs waiting and loading restrictions as well as on-street parking rules.
The proposed changes are being made under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the Traffic Management Act 2004, following discussions with the Chief Officer of Police.
Residents and other interested parties can review the draft order, maps of the affected area, and the reasons behind the proposal on the council's website, caerphilly.gov.uk/TrafficRegulationsOrders.
These documents can also be inspected in person by appointment at the council's legal services office at Penallta House, Tredomen Park, Ystrad Mynach during regular office hours.
The inspection period will run until July 10.
Those who wish to object to the proposed changes can do so by emailing trafficorder@caerphilly.gov.uk.
All objections must include the grounds on which they are being made and be submitted by July 10.
The council has stated that any objections received may be disclosed in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act.
The plans have been proposed by Clive Campbell, acting director for infrastructure and waste.
The council has released the information to allow residents the chance to provide feedback on the proposed changes.
The feedback period will run until July 10.

Bear roaming runway halts flights at Japanese airport
Authorities at a Japanese airport are locked in a 'stalemate' with a black bear which has been roaming the runway despite attempts to chase it off, forcing air traffic controllers to cancel a dozen flights. The bear first appeared at northern Yamagata airport in the early hours of Thursday, and officials immediately shut operationsdown, causing delays. Then, just before midday the animal reappeared on the runway, and flights were halted again. Footage showed a high-visibility airport car on the asphalt, trying to chase the furry trespasser away by flashing its blue lights. The bear was quick to run off, but is believed to be still at large somewhere on the site. 'Given the situation there is no way we can host plane arrivals now,' the Yamagata airport official Akira Nagai told Agence France-Presse, adding that the second closure led to 12 flight cancellations. Hunters had been brought in to set a trap and police were positioned surrounding the airport to prevent the bear from escaping. 'We're in a stalemate now,' Nagai said. The facility planned to keep the runway closed into the evening. Human encounters with bears have reached record levels in Japan, with 219 people attacked and six killed in the 12 months to April 2024. Last month, a bear sighting brought a premature end to a golf tournament in central Japan, with organisers citing safety precautions. With the climate crisis affecting food sources and hibernation times, along with depopulation caused by an ageing society, bears are venturing into urban areas more frequently, scientists have said.

Two bears escape enclosure to eat week's worth of honey before falling asleep
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page Two rescue bears who escaped from a British wildlife park helped themselves to a week's worth of honey. Police were called after two resident bears got out of their home at Wildwood Devon at Escot Park near Ottery St Mary. Mish and Lucy, who were found after being abandoned by their mother in Albania three years earlier, moved to the site in 2022, unable to survive in the wild. But it seems the orphan cubs managed to find the perfect place to raid for provisions – the food store next to their enclosure. A food delivery had just been brought in for the young bears, who helped themselves to what a zoo worker referred to as a 'feast'. Sign up for all of the latest stories Start your day informed with Metro's News Updates newsletter or get Breaking News alerts the moment it happens. The pair, who are both five years old, indulged in a copious amount of honey before being returned to their enclosure and taking a well-deserved nap. The pair took a long nap after their midday feast (Picture: Wildwood Devon) The cheeky bears are brother and sister from Albania (Picture: Wildwood Devon) Visitors were taken to a place of safety as specialist officers attended the scene and returned the bears home shortly after. The incident lasted around an hour, and the bears were closely monitored during the process. Devon and Cornwall Police said: 'We were made aware of two resident bears having escaped from their home at Escot Park. 'Specialist officers attended, and visitors were taken to places of safety. The bears were safely returned to their area and secured.' A spokesperson for Wildwood Devon said: 'Two young bears escaped from their enclosure at Wildwood Devon this afternoon, heading straight for their food store. 'Mish and Lucy (both five years old), who posed no threat to the public at any point, enjoyed a selection of snacks – including a week's worth of honey – before being safely returned to their enclosure by the expert keeper team within the hour. The playful siblings are now five years old (Picture: Wildwood Devon) The bears were rescued when they were babies (Picture: Wildwood Devon) 'As a precaution, all visitors on site were promptly escorted to a secure building. The bears were continuously monitored both on the ground and via CCTV until they calmly returned to their enclosure and fell asleep.' Police attended the scene, and staff say they are investigating to find out how the accident occurred. Wildwood said at the time it rescued the bears it wanted to give them an enclosure which had been left 'as natural as possible with the aim of creating a lifelong habitat'. The bears, who were rescued in 2019, were kept briefly in Belgium, unable to return back to the wild 'for their own safety'. They were then brought to Escot in June 2021 when a £250,000 appeal was launched to build the enclosure. Wildwood Devon general manager said previously: 'They're the first bears we've ever had at Escot and have become firm favourites with our visitors.' Last year, a capybara named Cinnamon made a daring escape from her enclosure, wandering onto military land. Teams had been working around the clock to locate the missing capybara, who was 'living her best life' in the woodlands around the zoo. A thermal drone was also used to try and locate Cinnamon, who is gifted at hiding. After five days, she was located. Will Dorrell, the zoo's owner, said: 'When we saw her on the drone she was looking very good, she was sat there very happily munching on grass.' Cinnamon first went missing on Friday, September 14, and managed to get beyond the zoo's perimeter fence, where she was spotted on a nearby road. Capybaras are a giant rodent native to South America. They're considered very social animals and rely on each other for their well-being. Being social animals, capybaras have gone viral online for their odd antics together. In 2016, a photo of 11 capybaras waiting out a rainstorm at the Nagasaki Bio Park, a zoo and botanical gardens in Japan went viral.
