Responding to the Labour Transport Minister's written statement on the progress of implementing the Burns Report recommendations, Natasha Asghar MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Transport Minister, said:
“Whilst we welcome any efforts to ease congestion on our roads, it is clear that Labour have no immediate plans to relieve the pressures on the M4 around the Brynglas Tunnels.
“Labour abandoned the M4 relief road in 2019 having spent £157 million on drawing up proposals, leaving motorists in South Wales gridlocked. It is clear their suggested alternatives are moving far too slowly; despite claims of progress, real solutions like new stations and infrastructure are years away.
“The Welsh Government must axe their war on motorists and get on with delivering sensible infrastructure projects to get Wales moving.”
