Madam,

Ceredigion County Council has recently painted double yellow lines on both sides of the dangerous bend on the B4548 Gwbert to Cardigan road, at the Teifi Boating Club entrance.

This has the effect of visually narrowing the road even further to drivers. Many, especially those travelling towards Gwbert, are cutting the corner on what must be one of the busiest roads in west Wales.

The white line up the middle of the road has long faded, as I pointed out in this newspaper about three years ago.

I continually see vehicles travelling a foot over the remnants of that white line as I travel daily along that road. Unless it is repainted very soon, there is going to be an extreme tragedy on that bend.

After all, the entrances to both the boating club and Patch Caravan Site exit onto it. It is a recipe for disaster!

It would also help if the bushes on the landward side of the road were cut back to improve visibility. Must we have a major catastrophe before action is taken?

There was even an opportunity to widen the bend on the landward side, before the yellow lines were painted.

We are now approaching Easter, and the Gwbert road is going to be extremely busy.

After all, there is going to be heavy traffic to Cardigan Golf Club, Cliff Hotel, Gwbert Hotel, Teifi Boating Club, Patch Caravan Site and Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park, plus all other traffic, including many holiday lets. Why was the white line not reinstated during the winter?

Yours etc, Lyn Jenkins, Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park, Gwbert, Cardigan.
