ANGLESEY residents are protesting over increased traffic in their village which they say is putting people “at risk.” A rise in associated vehicles to the Wylfa Newydd nuclear development, and proposed council road improvements, are affecting the A5025 at Llanfachraeth. Bob Wright, spearheading a protest, says the narrow village roads are “not suitable or safe” for the weight and volume of more traffic and 126 residents have signed a petition sent to Horizon and Anglesey County Council, saying they do not want HGVs through the village until a bypass is built. Mr Wright said: “Horizon has asked the council for more HGVs and other vehicles to go through from 7am to 11pm weekdays and 8am to 1pm on Saturdays, 50 lorries on a Saturday, (100 including return journeys) would mean 20 HGVs per hour, one every three minutes.
