Transport Strategy
Penwallis Bus Priority
December 2024 Update:
The consultation period has now ended. The results of the online survey are currently being analysed together with all the feedback received. This web page will be updated in due course confirming whether the proposals will be developed.
Public Consultation
Pembrokeshire County Councils Transport Strategy Team invite you to take part in this on-line survey which aims to gather feedback from members of the public and commuters on the following:
- Open up the current dead-ends on Heol Caradog to Dan y Bryn and Heol Glyndwr.
- Re-route Bus No. 410 to follow Heol Preseli, Penwallis, Heol Caradog, Dan y Bryn to serve bus stop on Heol Glyndwr.
Why are we proposing these changes?
The existing bus route around Penwallis is inefficient. The road layout consists of two dead-ends, which requires Bus 410 to then reverse and change direction in the middle of its route, near Heol Glyndwr, leaving insufficient time to serve Penwallis.
The proposals include opening up the current dead-ends on Heol Caradog to Dan y Bryn and Heol Glyndwr. This would improve service for Bus 410. The proposed route would follow Heol Preseli, a right turn onto Penwallis, left turn into Heol Caradog and then into Dan y Bryn to serve the bus stop on Heol Glyndwr.
The aim of the proposal is to:
- Improve bus connectivity within the estate
- Increase accessibility and facilities for people with limited mobility and with few or no facilities for public transport passengers
- Improve bus journey times
- Offer a valuable alternative to walking and/or for those who would typically use a vehicle or private hire
- Improve road safety
- Improve the overall air quality and reducing the carbon footprint, contributing to a healthier Wales by encouraging people to leave their vehicles at home
