STATEMENT OF REASONS

The restrictions on Cwmamman Road, Garnant are being provided to help to prevent double parking, by keeping the southern side of the road clear of parked vehicles, whilst allowing parking on the northern side of the road where it is safer to do so and to aid forward visibility.

The restrictions at Folland Road, Garnant in the vicinity of Ysgol Y Bedol are being provided to improve road safety, amenity, and navigability for vehicles (including cyclists) and pedestrians, as well as avoiding congestion outside the school. The measures should help to deter parking at this location where it is unsafe to do so and prevent waiting on a nearby junction.

At Colonel Road, Betws a section of existing No Loading/Unloading At Any Time is to be revoked and replaced with Prohibition of Waiting to allow deliveries to local residents, but to prevent general parking near a playground and junction area.

At Portway, Ferryside the revocation in part of the existing restrictions and provision of new restrictions will aid forward visibility to a narrow corner section and aid general road safety by improving forward visibility.

The restrictions at Carmarthen Road, Diana Road and Greenfield Place, Llandeilo will prevent inappropriate parking close to junctions.

The Prohibition of Waiting along Meadows Road, Cross Hands is to be provided to prevent obstructive and long-term parking. The provision of parking places will indicate where it is appropriate to park and the introduction of limits on length of stay will address those pressures created by vehicles belonging to commuters who car share prioritising the available parking for those who live within and visit the area requiring short-term parking.

The removal of the existing time limited parking bay to be replaced by Prohibition of Waiting at High Street, Llangadog, will allow wider traffic lanes and reduce the risk of large vehicle strikes to an existing property.
