Ceredigion: Dozens protest against roadworks threatening local shop

Anti-pavement protesters flooded the streets surrounding Siop Popeth in Penrhiw-llan
Dozens of people have protested following news a local shop could close due to a road development.
The owners of Siop Popeth in Penrhiw-llan, Ceredigion, have said a new pavement will stop customers being able to park at the shop.
"If they can't park, we have no custom, if the lorries can't deliver, we have no supplies... if that happens our shop will close," said owner Julie Miller.
Ceredigion council has been asked for comment.
Owners Julie and Dara Miller are worried about the impact of the development on their business
More than 50 people from the village and the surrounding area turned up to protest against the pavement on Tuesday.
"Without any customers we might last a month or two months, that's it. We won't have a choice," added Ms Miller, who runs the shop with her husband Dara.
Children held placards at the protest
Â鶹ԼÅÄ Wales has contacted the developer, Cartrefi Moelfre, and Ceredigion council for a response.
