: Traffic in Dinas Powys - school kids health + pollution! 

Sorry didn't mean to ignore you, been on a first aid course this week, great fun!

I think the main point you are missing is that the traffic problem is caused by through traffic. This even applies to the square. Cars from barry etc popping up station road and then on to pen y turnpike to get to cardiff missing the traffic at Barons Court traffic lights.

A car park anywhere isn't going to solve that!

I previously made the point that the village be made a pedestrian only precinct - hence the need for the car park, and that should put a stop to the thru traffic.

Re: : Traffic in Dinas Powys - school kids health + pollution! 

The only part they can successfully pedestrianise is the actual "triangle". Station Road, Britway Road, Elm Grove Road, Mount Road still need to be accessible, so cars will just go round. Please don't say that's why we need a car park because I really can't see why a car park will help when the car driver wants to get from Barry to Cardiff, why leave your car in Dinas?? I was thinking more about  Cardiff Road anyway. I'm going to leave this now as I don't think you get my point. Nice communicating with you!!

Re: : Traffic in Dinas Powys - school kids health + pollution! 

Ok -last time I'm going to explain this to youi.  I recommend they pedestrianise the Twyn. Only a newbie to DP would call it the triangle, and only an idiot would drive up Station Rd, turn left up the Mount Rd, turn right on the Common and then  come down Britway Rd to get to Cardiff.  Would you really do that?  If they are going to go up Pen-y Turn Pike they are more likely to go down to Eastbrook Rd and turn left.

I don't really care about how people get from Barry to Cardiff, just get them to stay out of the village.  The car park on the common would be for people wanting to park to walk into the village to shop in a much safer and more pleasant environment,

Ok -thats it if there are any other readers of this thread who can add something more constructuve to this discussion - lets hear from you. I'm sick of this too, do I have to draw pictures?  With thinking like yours no wonder DP isn't going anywhere, except backwards.

I know it's called the Twyn and I'm not a newbie.
