Flintshire Council to revert roads back to 30mph next month
Over the past 12 months, local authorities have been given the power to revert roads back at their own discretion.
Wrexham Council is currently in the process of reverting several roads back to 30mph, and it appears Flintshire Council are close to doing the same.
A number of Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) were issued by the council, advertising the possibility of roads reverting back to 30mph.
The local authority has now issued a list of roads which they say are expected to go back to being 30mph in August.

Councillor suggests Newbridge Road to reopen in October
The B5605 road was subject to a landslip in 2021 during Storm Christoph, and has remained closed ever since, with January 25, 2025 marking the fourth anniversary of the closure. Its closure has proven a huge frustration for residents, and caused traffic "chaos" in Llangollen and surrounding areas when the A483 viaducts are closed during inclement weather. In April 2022, £2.8m of Welsh Government funding was secured to repair it, with hopes the road would be open towards the end of 2023. However, further delays meant that work didn't start at the site until summer 2024. A planning application was finally submitted in May 2024 by Contractors Jones Bros, and work has taken place at the site. Wrexham Council gave an estimated completion date of spring 2025 - despite concerns of funding. An update sent out to councillors in July 2024 detailed the type of work that could be expected in recent months, and that there were hopes the work would be completed by May 2025. However, work is continuing to take place at the site, and councillor Derek Wright has suggested he believes the road won't be open until October. Cllr Wright said: "We were given an update in June and showed what work was still required. "In the last update the council suggested it would be done by the end of summer, so I'm now saying to residents that it should be reopened in October.

It's an inconvenience for everybody, especially when the bypass is closed and people are getting directed here there and everywhere. "It's been a nuisance for five years. There are concerns about [whether] the bus services will go back to what they were before the road closed, but the issue is people don't know what normal is anymore. "The work has improved greatly, and they are getting through it in stages." Wrexham Council are expected to publish a report on the progress at Newbridge Road in the coming weeks.

Musselburgh parking ban consultation launched
Plans to extend no waiting zones on town centre streets in Musselburgh have been put out for public views within days of a parking charge consultation being launched in the town. East Lothian Council has revealed plans to extend restrictions on waiting in the centre of the town alongside proposals to reduce the speed of one of the main roads into it. The latest consultation comes as the council is also seeking views of residents over plans to introduce on street parking meters, off street parking charges and residents permits. The latest consultation seeks responses to new and amended Traffic Regulation Orders in the town which extend areas where people cannot wait or load or unload along parts of North High Street and New Street, in the town centre, as well as Millhill and other areas. The council says the proposals are linked to Musselburgh Active Toun (MAT) project which aims to create safer and more attractive routes for walking, wheeling and cycling in the town. They also include a 30mph speed limit to replace the 40mph limit on the A199 Haddington Road between Wallyford Toll and Levenhall Roundabout and permitting two-way cycling on one-way Shorthope Street – a key link between the River Esk and High Street. During the month-long consultation, East Lothian Council is also inviting views on new and amended waiting, loading, and unloading restrictions put forward for various streets. It says the Traffic Regulation Orders are designed to accommodate the active travel routes and 'remove dangerous and indiscriminate parking to improve sightlines, enhance the free flow of vehicles, and increase the safety of all road users. Full maps of the streets which will be affected by the restrictions can be found at and on Copies of the documents can also be viewed in Musselburgh Library and in the main reception at John Muir House, Haddington. Councillor John McMillan, Cabinet Spokesperson for Environment, Economic Development and Tourism, said: 'East Lothian Council is working hard to increase opportunities for people to get around the local area through walking, wheeling, and cycling. 'By reducing noise and emissions, they can be supported to choose healthier, more affordable journeys and contribute to an improved environment. I would encourage members of the public to share their views during this consultation.' By Marie Sharp Local Democracy Reporter Like this: Like Related
