Rejected petition Place speed camera and limit speed to 50mph on A469 by Llanbradach. The road is very loud until late
We live in Llanbradach and especially during the summer months the excessive noise from the road disrupts our sleep.
We cannot have window open at night on warmer nights, because all we can hear is people racing on motorbikes and in cars as it’s a long straight stretch of a road. The sound of loud engines is with us the entire day and most of the night.
We think that limiting the speed to 50mph and placing a speed camera would help and make the road safer and the area less polluted.
More details
As the road is located between two hills in the valley, the noise is amplified. The location also makes pollution stay in the valley and speeding is known for causing more air pollution than slower driving. We believe that if we limit a speed on this road, all people who live in Llanbradach would feel healthier, more relaxed and happier.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.
Roads, other than trunk roads, are the responsibility of local councils.
Petitions to the Senedd cannot concern an issue that is the operational responsibility of a local authority and, therefore, we are not able to accept a petition on this issue.
You could consider contacting Caerphilly Council or your local representatives about this matter instead.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards
