A Pembrokeshire County Councillor has called for the Local Authority to look to ways to combat companies ‘advertising’ businesses by parking vehicles overlooking sections of the roadway, which have been labelled a ‘distraction for drivers’.

At the recent meeting of Amroth Community Council, county councillor for the ward Cllr Alec Cormack told members that PCC have had meetings with a company whose vehicle has habitually parked on the bridge over the A477 and have received assurances that it will be permanently removed.

He said: “I have thanked officers for this, but also expressed my opinion to the streetcare team that there should be double yellow lines on all bridges over the A477 to avoid other companies doing this. Highways have agreed to monitor to see whether any parking restrictions can be introduced.”

Cllr Tippet Maudsley thanked Cllr Cormack for his persistence regarding removal of the advertising vehicles on bridges over the A477, which she said were a distraction for drivers.
