Road chiefs to trial new way of entering retail park in North Wales seaside town
@Source: dailypost.co.uk
Road chiefs want to trial a new way of entering one of the region's most popular retail parks. Parc Prestatyn was opened back in 2013 and includes retailers like Tesco Extra, Marks & Spencer, and TK Maxx.
It has two entrances and exits but most traffic from the centre of the town is directed towards the gateway off the high street.
Denbighshire council currently has £3m from UK Government to spend on improving the town centre and as part of this it is looking at re-directing that traffic to ease congestion on the high street.
A seven day trial will start on Monday.
A spokesperson for Denbighshire council said: "Following feedback received from the Prestatyn High Street improvement scheme consultation, we will be trialling a new way of getting into the retail park.
"Between 18 and 24 August 2025 visitors driving to the retail park will turn onto Nant Hall Road instead of down the High Street to help alleviate congestion on the High Street. Join the North Wales Live Whatsapp community now
"Vehicles travelling to Parc Prestatyn from the B5120 (and Penisadre Road) will be directed down Nant Hall Road (illustrated in green below). This is different from the current directed route via High Street and Bridge Road (illustrated in red below)."
They added: "This is not a mandatory trial so no Traffic Regulation Order or Temporary Traffic Regulation Order will be needed. Findings from the trial will be shared in the autumn."
The aims of the £3m regeneration fund are to make public areas look and feel nicer, make it easier to access the town centre from key locations such as the retail park, railway station and bus station, improve signage around the town so people can find their way around more easily and encourage greater tourism and investment.
Feedback from the traffic trial will be revealed this October. The estimated timescale for completion of the project is October 2027.
