Two new solar ‘speed signs’ for East Williamston have been introduced at a cost of £5,400 to the Community Council.

At a meeting of the Council recently, county councillor for the ward Cllr Jacob Williams reported to members that the solar-powered speed awareness devices in Templebar Road had now been mounted onto their respective posts which had been installed a few weeks earlier.

The devices had been set at the incorrect road speed of 20mph to start with, however Cllr Williams said that he had a key to get inside them, and that it was as simple as pressing a button to change, and he would endeavour to set them at the road's correct speed limit of 30mph.

Incidentally, 20mph will be the new speed limit through this stretch of road when the Wales-wide speed reduction in residential areas comes into effect in September, at which point the speed setting can be changed again.
