The town of Welshpool is sign posted as a 30MPH zone, which means the whole town, yet speeding, particularly on our back roads, still seems to be a major problem. One of these roads in-particular being the Brook Street/Woodside/Dolyfelin area. Time and time again cars come zooming down the road way in excess of the speed limit, there's a children's play park that the road has to be crossed to get to it and it's also a road that pensioners have to cross. There is a zebra crossing but this in itself is being rendered useless as these speeding cars are failing to stop for pedestrians. It’s becoming such a danger not only to residents but to their pets, I personally having to bury 2 much loved family pets as a result of speeding accidents. How long before something more severe happens and a child or an elderly person gets knocked down? Something has to be done and NOW! This road NEEDS a speed camera! It needs to be made SAFER!
