Monday 6th, September 2010

William Graham (Conservative AM for South Wales East) responding to the announcement of the construction of Port Talbot - M4 link road. 

“Whilst I welcome all investment to the M4 network that will improve journey times, reduce congestion and encourage investment”. 

“This investment, along with the £185million Corus blast furnace refurbishment highlights the confidence, from all quarters, of the Westminster Governments commitment to manufacturing industries leading the economic recovery”. 

“The decision to enhance this section of the M4 and realising maximum economic investment throughout South Wales will focus on the crucial improvements currently being made to the M4 around Newport”. 

“If this section of the motorway, either side of the Brynglas Tunnels, remains a bottleneck; we shall have to review the necessity of the M4 Relief Road”.
