CCTV cameras have been installed to help combat the risks posed by drivers who ignore the one-way system around Ysbyty Gwynedd.

Due to the on-going construction work at the Emergency Department a one-way system has been put in place at the Bangor hospital to direct motorists to use the route around the back of the building when leaving the site.

However, due to a number of drivers ignoring this system, the Hospital Management Team have now installed CCTV to monitor the area.

Meinir Williams, Ysbyty Gwynedd’s Hospital Director, said: "We would like to remind car park users that there is a one way system in place, which is clearly sign posted, and would encourage drivers to adhere to this.

“A number of motorists are continuing to ignore the one-way system which is causing concerns that an accident is waiting to happen.

"We have now introduced CCTV cameras to monitor this area into the hospital as this is an extremely busy route which ambulances and large construction vehicles use on regular basis."

The hospital's management team say there has been a number of concerning incidents reported to them in recent weeks.

These include ambulances struggling to reach the emergency department due to cars turning the wrong way out of the car parks.
