Residents and cyclists have complained about the state of roads in Dinas Powys, which they say have become riddled with potholes. Local councillors and residents met up to protest about the roads in the Vale of Glamorgan town on Friday, May 5, arguing that the issue presents a major safety hazard.
The Vale of Glamorgan Council has since been to Dinas Powys to carry out work on the roads, including filling in potholes. However, people who live there, including local councillors, said it shouldn't get to the stage where potholes are four to five inches deep before work is carried out to fill them in.
One cyclist who lives in Dinas Powys, Colin Turner, said the road conditions on his street are "excellent", but added that when he gets on to the Mill Road/Pen-Y-Turnpike Road they are "disgusting".
