P-06-1275 Call on the Government to reconsider its decision to withdraw from the Llanbedr bypass scheme

This petition was submitted by Annwen Hughes, having collected a total of 2,704 signatures.

Text of Petition:                    

Following months of constructive discussions, the Government withdrew from the scheme to build the bypass at Llanbedr, Gwynedd, based on flawed information in their report.

Not only will abandoning the bypass be detrimental to the environment as hundreds of cars will continue to queue in the village, the decision is also a huge blow to any hopes of developing high quality jobs at the airport – the main hope of providing good work for our local people in this part of Meirionnydd.

Status

This petition was considered completed by the Petitions Committee at its meeting on 27/03/2023.

The Committee considered the petition and noted the frustrations felt by the local community. However, in light of the fact that the Roads Review report is clear that the Llanbedr bypass scheme won’t progress and the fact that The Welsh Government have noted their willingness to work with Gwynedd County Council and meetings scheduled with the local community to explore alternative solutions, the Committee agreed there was little further they could do and agreed to close the petition and thank the petitioner for highlighting this issue.

Full details of the consideration of this petition by the Committee and related documents can be seen on the Meetings tab above.

It was first considered by the Petitions Committee on 23/05/2022.
