3. The situation of cars parking on the pavement near the entrance to the
Centre

In the absence of Iolo Tegid who had to apologise due to other work commitments, the
group discussed the lack of available parking spaces during busy periods and the ensuing
safety implications. The main concern is that cars are paeked on both sides of the A5 –
making it dangerous to cross the road. Guto Roberts added that carked cars obstructed
access for wheelchair users and families with buggies. A number of ideas were discussed
including restricting the speed limit to 40 or traffig lights system.

It was decided that it would be beneficial to have another site visit with Iolo Tegid, with
gyda Guto Roberts; Dewi Davies; Gwyn Thomas; Trystan Edwards; Arwel Johnson and a
representation from the national Park Authority’s planning department to attend. Carys
Dafydd to arrange. It was noted that Iolo Tegid was very busy at the moment and that it
could be some months before he was able to attend. There was also a request the Iolo
Tegid attend the next meeting of the Forum with options of what could be done

Iolo pull your finger out blodyn!

Build another car park and ticket the twits parking on the pavements. No need for more meetings - just get on with it. rolleyes

Or of course reduce an arterial A road to 30mph and consider it job done rolleyesfurious
