UNPOPULAR bollards installed in Rhyl as part of temporary active travel schemes are being removed. The bollards were installed to help create more space for pedestrians during the pandemic, as part of the Welsh Government’s Active Travel and Covid-19 scheme. Businesses felt the bollards gave the impression the town was 'closed'. There was also concerns about how they impacted on parking and deliveries. Last year, Dr James Davies, MP for Vale of Clwyd, met businesses owners to discuss the problems the bollards were causing and called on Denbighshire County Council to revise the measures. Welcoming the news they are to be removed, Dr Davies said: "Businesses have been up in arms over these bollards since they were first installed as they block access to loading and disabled parking bays, and make their premises look closed.
