Cabinet Secretary, as you’ll know, connective infrastructure and high-quality transport networks are essential to the success of any economy and are especially key in the north-east Wales gateway area. It’s for that reason that I’ve welcomed the news of the Welsh Government’s intention to consult on the much-needed major improvements to the Deeside corridor—one of north Wales’s busiest sections of road. You’ll be aware that this has been raised with me time and time again by constituents and commuters alike, and I’ll be encouraging many individuals, community organisations and businesses to take part in the consultation when it opens on 13 March and which outlines two possible options for improvement.

Whilst we await the outcome of the consultation, I welcome this commitment by the Cabinet Secretary, which will see over £200 million invested in our area. But, Cabinet Secretary, will you make a commitment to keep the Assembly and, therefore, our communities and constituents in the area updated on the progress of this vital scheme, which will make an important contribution to stimulating economic growth in the area?
