A MAN has been left frustrated after fences and walls surrounding his home have been hit by cars more than 10 times in the last 12 months.

Harold Parker, who lives in Penybont Llanerch Emrys, near Llangedwyn, has contacted Powys County Council, the Highways Agency and Dyfed-Powys Police, but is yet to receive a response from any of them.

A wall at the rear of Mr Parker’s property was also damaged by a car, and the resident is concerned speeding on the B4396 is the main cause of the issues.

He said: “I first contacted the council and the police in February last year after my fence was hit twice within an hour.

“I’m still awaiting a response. Since then it’s been hit another eight times and I’m just sick of it now.

“People don’t stick to the speed limit driving through the village – there’s a 30mph limit and people drive through here at ridiculous speeds.

“The wall at the side of our house was hit towards the back end of October – the driver must have been doing upwards of 70mph.

“Each time something is damaged, we have to spend time and money fixing it, and we never find out who’s done it because they never stop.

“I’m getting to the end of my tether with it now, it’s really frustrating.”

After living in the area for 18 years, Mr Parker says he is now desperate to meet with authorities in order to resolve the issue.

“I want to meet with these people – there are more road issues around here than what has happened to my wall and fence, and the speeding,” he said.

“There are a few potholes around the area. Some outside my house fill with water and that splashes over my house and windows when cars pass by.

“There was supposed to be a pavement built nearby, it should be there under planning conditions, but it’s still not there.

“It’s upsetting, no-one is listening. I want a meeting with a representative for the police and a representative for the council to sort the issues out.”

Powys County Council spokesman Lee Evans said: “As the council, we are limited on what we can do to resolve speeding issues. Difficulties with reckless driving is a police matter. Road markings, chevrons and a 30mph speed limit are in place already.

“If the residents are concerned, their best option would be to set up a community watch group and to contact GoSafe, and continue to try to report those speeding when they can.”

Dyfed-Powys Police have been contacted for a comment.
