Welsh Conservatives will tomorrow ramp up pressure on the Labour controlled Senedd to prioritise motoring in policies and repeal restrictive law and decisions which it claims holds back the economy.
Good transport connectivity across Wales is vital in supporting businesses, creating jobs, and boosting our economy. Yet Labour and Plaid’s direct attack on Welsh motorists is slowing Wales down and holding our economy back, say the Conservatives.
“Under Labour and Plaid, we have seen 20mph default speed limits introduced, the M4 relief road scrapped, and the freezing of road projects, ” said Welsh Conservative Shadow Cabinet Secretary Finance, Transport and Infrastructure, Sam Rowlands MS,
“The Welsh economy is lagging behind the rest of the United Kingdom, with the lowest wage packets, and our infrastructure crumbling due to underinvestment.
“That’s why the Welsh Conservatives’ pro-motorist agenda will deliver more jobs and prosperity, and get our economy moving.”
In the Senedd tomorrow, the Welsh Conservatives have brought forward a debate calling on the Welsh Labour Government to support calls to restore the default speed limit to 30mph, build and m4 relief road, upgrade the a55, dual the a40, deliver a third Menai crossing, and unfreeze all road projects.
Commenting ahead of the debate Sam Rowlands added, “Labour and Plaid’s attack on Welsh motorists is slowing Wales down and holding our economy back.
“Our Welsh Conservative pro-motorist agenda recognises the importance of good transport connectivity to the economic prosperity of Wales.“That’s why as part of our plan to fix Wales’ transport system, the Welsh Conservatives will scrap default 20mph speed limits, build an m4 relief road, and upgrade the a55.”
The Conservatives propose that the Senedd:
Recognises the importance of good transport connectivity to the economic prosperity of Wales.
- restore the default speed limit to 30mph;
- build an M4 relief road;
- cupgrade the A55;
- dual the A40;
- deliver a third Menai crossing; and
- unfreeze all road projects.
