A487 EGLWYS FACH & FURNACE SAFETY CAMPAIGN 2024   SD 480p

The communities of the villages of Eglwysfach & Furnace in north Ceredigion have been campaigning for better road safety - speed limit reduction from 40mph and a footpath - for 50 years. Three deaths and endless accidents later, the residents still have to face deadly traffic if they want to walk or cycle, and have to navigate lethal blind turnings to leave and enter the local lanes and driveways. Every day is a heart-in-mouth experience, with some residents leaving, and some not going out at all .Young families are not moving into the area purely because of the traffic resulting in an ageing and restricted population.
