Labour calls for M4 relief road, seven years after axing it
The Welsh Labour leader has urged the administration to build an M4 relief road around Newport, sparking a major shift in policy seven years after the party scrapped the original project under Mark Drakeford. Ken Skates stated that there is no other viable option to resolve severe traffic congestion in the area, backing an amended version of the controversial black route despite potential costs estimated at £3 billion.
