New bypass falls short of previous £14m plans as locals plead 'get on with it'
The bypass for Llanbedr was given the go-ahead in March 2020 but then scrapped in November 2021, with a new road scheme now being put forward for the village
North Wales Live readers have been voicing their opinions on the proposed new bypass for Llanbedr, expressing both frustration and optimism about its potential impact. However, the new plans fall short of previous proposals.

The revised relief road scheme, alongside other options, has been put forward for the Gwynedd village that lost its planned original bypass. The £14m bypass, initially given the green light in March 2020, was scrapped in November 2021 following the Welsh Government's climate change roads review.
