Congestion (From Barry And District News)

Congestion

WITH increasing road congestion in the Vale has the council developed a roadway strategy?

Recently on my fortnightly visit to my Cowbridge doctors I found it a struggle to park the car. So for once, as I witnessed the Cowbridge Library car park relatively quiet I thought I would take the chance of parking there. Not a problem, except when I got in the car, one of the library staff explained some days, even the staff can't park.

I did feel a little guilty, but there had been no problem with me parking on this occasion.

Then it got me thinking, if I wanted a book from the library, would I bother to drive around for 10 minutes to find a space, I think not. I'd prefer to buy one.

And as for the doctors' surgery usually, I'm stressed out before I sit down in the waiting room.

Cowbridge used to be a pleasant place to visit, all year round, and now more or less, 365 days of the year it's just congested. Cowbridge clearly needs to be visited by more buses, and to have just a few more places to park the car.
