 Tony’s three priorities for Bulwark
Local roads need attention
1 roads such as Mathern Way,
Pembroke Road: picking up
the road surface in handfuls!
Too many roads in the
ward are in a poor
condition.
Focus editor Tony Redhead
has contacted the highways
department of Monmouthshire
County Council to see when
Queens Road, Cromwell
Road, Brunel Road and
Pembroke Road are likely to
be resurfaced.
Officers have got in touch with
the Focus team to say that the
roads are on the ‘schedule’ to
be ‘resurfaced’ during the ‘next
financial year’ (2010-2011).
Tony Redhead said: “I know
from previous experience you
have to push and push and push
to get your local roads done -
otherwise the date can slip back
further and further.”
As our next Town Councillor,
Tony Redhead will make it a
priority that all local roads are
brought up to standard. He also
wants the resurfacing to take
place this year - not next!
Safety for School Children

Mathern Way:
gone to pot!
Where’s the safe crossing?
Tony at Bulwark Road used by
many parents and pupils to
enter Pembroke school.
Local Lib Dems in Chepstow
and throughout Monmouthshire
have been campaigning for
School Safety Zones on roads
outside our local schools.
Despite demanding this we are yet
to see any action.

“We ant to see the same level of

Redhead.
“Yet the Conservative run County

dragged its heels on this issue.”
Schools in Sedbury and Woodcroft
have 20mph zones at school-run
times. They’re common place in
Gloucestershire - but not here.”
However, Tony Redhead is pleased
with the news that new warning
signs are soon to be put up on
Bulwark Road at the crossing with
Fairfield Road where many parents
and children cross to get to school.
Local parents have complained for
years that something needs to be
done.
Tony Redhead will campaign to get
the same level of safety for our
children going to school as enjoyed
across the river in Gloucestershire.

Investing in Bulwark

some investment in the
Bulwark shopping area”,
