BUCKLEY LIB DEM COUNCILLOR CALLS FOR ONE WAY SYSTEM TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS

Richard Jones calls for one way system

Buckley Lib Dem Councillor Richard Jones is pressing for more parking facilities to provide easier access for residents to shop at local businesses in the town.

Cllr Jones is calling for a one way system to be introduced through Buckley Cross to Mold Road to facilitate the additional parking areas after local businesses voiced their concern at a recent Town Centre health check meeting.

The issue was raised with Arriva by Cllr Jones at a recent County Council scrutiny meeting and then followed up by being discussed at Buckley Town Council at Cllr Jones' request.

The proposal by Cllr Jones called for Flintshire County Council and Arriva to investigate the feasibility of a one way system and was fully supported by all councillors at the Buckley Town Council meeting who endorsed the plans.

Cllr Jones said: "I'm pleased that all my fellow councillors at Buckley Town Council supported and endorsed my proposal for a one way system to be introduced to improve parking and access to local shops thereby supporting local businesses.

"Flintshire County Council and Arriva will now consider those proposals and I am hopeful they will agree to introduce the much needed one way system to give local businesses the support they deserve and need right now."
