Llandysul Bypass Ruins Business? How?
I have just been reading an article on the Camrbrian News where local business owners feel that they are going to lose out on Business as a result for the Llandysul Bypass?
But I’m struggling to see why they think this.
A local business owner says in the article they feel that their customers who usually visit businesses are now just going to drive through instead of stopping, but I fail to see why.
You’d think that with improved road links to this area will attrack more visitors as now it’s easily accessible from lots of other places. People may drive through this area on the way to other areas but may very well stop and look around if it looks like an interesting place. Therefore increasing trade?
Business Owners have said they think that the town is to become a ‘toilet stop’ area, although this may not be an attractive prospect, if people stop they are likely to spend money on food/drinks, petrol etc. Is this such a damaging factor to businesses?
Improved transport links will mean that local businesses may find that suppliers are willing to deliver goods to those businesses that they may have not considered before? – or maybe even lower transport costs because of it taking less time and less distance to reach this area….
New businesses may now be attracked to the area and may very well setup in this area, creating more jobs and imroving the local economy…
