Keeping Our Rural Roads Safe

Conwy and Denbighshire Councils’ Highways & Infrastructure Services are asking farmers and those in the agricultural industry to help them keep rural roads safer for everyone.

The Authorities have published a guide to Farming and Public Roads, which explains the role of the Highways Authorities and the responsibilities for anyone working on public roads, whether cutting hedges, using agricultural vehicles or moving animals.

Stuart Davies, Joint Head of Highways and Infrastructure for Conwy and Denbighshire Councils explained, “The booklet brings together useful information and advice for anyone running a rural business that has an impact on public roads”.

He added, “In the spirit of partnership, both the National Farmers’ Union and the Farmers’ Union of Wales have agreed to distribute this leaflet amongst their members.”

Copies of the Farming and Public Roads leaflet are available from Council offices and libraries or can be downloaded from www.conwy.gov.uk and www.denbighshire.gov.uk
