COUNCILLORS have reacted to the news that the Dinas Powys bypass plans are moving forward. The Weltag Stage 2 report on the feasibility of the Dinas Powys bypass was presented to the Vale of Glamorgan cabinet on Monday, March 8. The new road would be built from the Merrie Harrier junction on Cardiff Road, around the east of Dinas Powys, re-joining Cardiff Road just south of Green Lane. Four ward members for Dinas Powys welcomed the content of the report, which stated that the bypass could also help congestion, journey times, air quality, noise pollution, road safety, and better pedestrian crossings within the village.
