NDM7748 Welsh Conservatives debate: The road network

NDM7748 Darren Millar (Clwyd West)

To propose that the Senedd:

1. Regrets:

a) the failure of successive Welsh Governments to tackle problems with congestion and air pollution on the road network in Wales;

b) the unfair distribution of capital investment in the road network across Wales;

c) the poor public transport network and cuts in bus services, particularly in rural Wales.

2. Notes with concern the Welsh Government’s decision to pause all new road improvement schemes.

3. Calls upon the Welsh Government to:

a) build the M4 relief road, upgrade the A55 and A470, and dual the A40 to Fishguard;

b) scrap proposals to enable the introduction of road pricing in Wales;

c) significantly improve access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure;

d) work with bus operators and other stakeholders to ensure that public transport is a viable option for people in all parts of the country.
