The Welsh Ministers propose to make an Order in exercise of their powers under sections 82(2), 83(1), 84(1)(a) and (2) and 124(1)(d) of, and paragraph 27(1) of Schedule 9 to, the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

The effect of the proposed Order will be to impose a 40 mph speed limit and derestrict to the national speed limit lengths of the A40 and A477 trunk roads at St Clears, Carmarthenshire described in the Schedules to this Notice. Existing speed limit and restricted road Orders will be revoked with all elements consolidated into the new Order.

During a period of 21 days from 24 April 2019, a copy of the proposed Order, plan, Statement of Reasons for making the Order and the Orders being revoked may be inspected, free of charge, during normal opening hours at St Clears Library, The Gate, Pentre Road, St Clears SA33 4AA or may be obtained free of charge from the address below quoting reference number qA1367706/1.

Objections, specifying the grounds on which they are made, must be sent in writing to Orders Branch, Transport, Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NQ or by e-mail to TransportOrdersBranch@gov.wales by 15 May 2019. Should you wish to object, support or make representations, we may need to consult with people and organisations outside of the Welsh Government. As part of the process of consulting with others we may pass information to them, including information you have given us and your personal data. We will, however, only disclose your personal details where it is necessary to do so to enable us to deal with issues you have brought to our attention. If you do not wish personal data to be forwarded to third parties, you should state why when submitting your correspondence and the Welsh Ministers will copy the representations to the appropriate third parties with the name and address removed and if there is to be a local Public Inquiry, the representations will be seen by the Inspector who may give them less weight as a result.

A copy of the Order and Notice can be viewed on the Welsh Government’s website at www.gweddill.gov.wales/legislation/subordinate (select: Draft Legislation/ Draft Local Statutory Instruments/ Permanent Traffic Orders).
