Welsh Conservatives Debate - The roads review
NDM8218 Darren Millar (Clwyd West)
To propose that the Senedd:
1. Notes the report of the Welsh
Government's roads review panel, The Future of Road Investment in Wales.
2. Regrets the lack of engagement by the
roads review panel with the public, elected representatives, local authorities,
businesses and the third sector and others during the course of the review.
3. Believes that the roads review panel’s
recommendations to scrap investment in critical road projects designed to
improve road safety, address congestion, decrease air pollution and deliver
economic benefits fails to deliver the transport infrastructure the people of
Wales rightfully deserve.
