Russell George AM speaks out following M4 announcement

“Today’s announcement is a kick in the teeth for Welsh commuters and the future progression of this country.

“After years of procrastination and dithering from successive Welsh Labour Governments, £44 million spent on a public inquiry, and numerous pleas of help from business leaders, we’ve got nowhere.

“It’s shameful that the First Minister has poured millions of pounds down the drain in completing the inquiry, yet only to ignore its findings.

“Congestion on this road is a foot on the windpipe of the South Wales economy, and is damaging our businesses and their future prospects.

“I’m now urging the First Minister to end the uncertainty and quickly give us an alternative to how he intends to alleviate congestion on the M4.”
