Comparison of closest distance between crossings for Radyr and ‘through roads’ for nearby areas. An absolute disgrace. Can someone tell me what the ppl of Radyr have done to deserve such unfairness in terms of basic road safety? @cardiffcouncil @huwthomas_Wales @CaroWild
@plasdwr happy new year! I see your new year’s resolutions don’t include addressing your blatant disregard for the 7.5 tonne HGV limit through Radyr. Can you take some action please? @cardiffcouncil @SWP_Roads @CaroWild

@cardiffcouncil any chance you could recalibrate the speed repeater on Heol Isaf near @RadyrPrimarySch ? It’s still showing green right up to 30mph and the road has now been changed to a 20mph limit. Many thanks

So being 10 cases per 100k less than the Wales wide average gets you into a local lockdown now?🧐 Things are moving fast

👏👏 This is probably the only HGV in South Wales that doesn’t go along the <7.5 tonne limit through Radyr
Earlier this month @SWP_Roads officers carried out patrols using a heavy goods vehicle to target & educate on driving offences #OpTramline.
These included:
🚗 Speeding
🍺 Drink or drug driving
📱 Using a mobile phone
❌ Not wearing a seatbelt
🚙 Driving carelessly

Never did get an answer to this did we @KevinBrennanMP
It certainly is in Radyr @cardiffcouncil @carowild : 🚨 furthest distance between safe crossings of any Cardiff suburb 🚨 81% speeding rate 🚨 only schools in Cardiff with ‘non-tabled’ crossings outside 🚨 endless illegal HGVs using narrow village road as a shortcut to @plasdwr
Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Jenny Harries says the is of your child dying in a road traffic accident “is probably higher than their risk from #COVID”.
Especially if Dominic Cummings is behind the wheel!

@cardiffcouncil erm I’m really not sure the Victorian drainage in Radyr is equipped to deal with the ill thought through @plasdwr run off. Heol isaf is a river
No! Unacceptable! If they’re going to shake the living daylights out of people’s homes in Morganstown with their blasting then the very least they can do is let people have a look!

@CEMEX_UK why are you illegally running 44 tonne aggregate HGVs through the 7.5 tonne limit in Radyr, North Cardiff today?

Schools back Monday. Unfortunately Radyr is one of the few areas in Cardiff not to get new covid safety measures around schools and of course we remain the only area without tabled crossings outside schools... @cardiffcouncil @CaroWild really look out for us like that. Be safe!
Radyr has the only ‘non-tabled’ pedestrian crossings outside it’s schools in the entirety of Cardiff. It will take more than a global pandemic to right that glaring inequality it would seem. Yet again Radyr absent from road safety improvements! @CaroWild @KevinBrennanMP
A series of new school traffic schemes will be put in place so that social distancing can be maintained safely, when schools reopen from Monday.
27 schools will have road closures and some schools will have pavements widened or temporary speed limits. orlo.uk/u9jox

... and gosh what a shock! Absolutely sweet F.A. for the safety of schoolchildren in Radyr in this lot. Pretty much everywhere else in Cardiff of course! @huwthomas_Wales @CaroWild @KevinBrennanMP @MarkDrakeford

Very slowly, but very surely... we will get there! It took a global pandemic to shift the balance between cars vs cyclists/pedestrians ever so slightly towards where it ought to be... but it’s still not safe. Let’s hope @cardiffcouncil @CaroWild build on this for Radyr residents.
Time to revisit all of it @huwthomas_Wales @carowild @MarkDrakeford . 50% public transport use @plasdwr was a joke to begin with... but now it would win the Edinburgh fringe!

A well judged decision by @wgmin_education paying particular attention to the risk. If only @cardiffcouncil @carowild could follow suit and address the road safety risk faced by children in Radyr...we have the only 2 schools in Cardiff without a tabled pedestrian crossing outside
This argument could have been put to bed forever more if you’d started the lockdown a week before England! As I recall Welsh gov were too busy hosting stereophonics concerts and rugby internationals. We’ve been behind on everything ever since... other than garden centres opening

Parallel universe #34: Having to tweet tories to raise the issue of equality because Welsh labour seem perfectly happy for golfers to be the only ppl allowed to drive for exercise in their ‘new Wales’🤯 @lynne_neagle
@suzydaviesms @AndrewRTDavies @Simonhartmp shameful! ... and still the less well off are locked in flats without gardens, fined if they dare drive with their children to some green space. Victorian levels of inequality. So much for @WelshGovernment ‘equality’ test!
