FTA comments on suggested M4 congestion measures

Wednesday 18 December 2019

Following South East Wales Transport Commission’s recommendations to introduce several congestion relieving measures on the M4, announced yesterday (17 December 2019), FTA’s Head of Welsh Policy, Sally Gilson comments: 

“The initial recommendations made by the Commission are totally inadequate and will not provide a sufficient, long-term solution to congestion along this crucial route. Vital to the Welsh economy, the M4 is a key lifeline to businesses across south Wales and any proposal to counter congestion on this stretch should not be considered as a local issue. FTA reiterates its calls to the Welsh government to build a Newport relief road which would provide a long-term solution to alleviating the pressure along this crucial trade corridor.”
