Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:45 pm on 28 March 2017.
Leader of the house, I’ve raised on several occasions the state and condition of the A48 and, in particular, the stretch between Culverhouse Cross and Bridgend, sadly to no avail. I don’t seem to get much of a response back from the Welsh Government as to what their maintenance arrangements are going to be, but, today, we’ve also had a very timely reminder of the need to make sure that our roads are repaired in good order because of the potential risk to people and, obviously, damage to vehicles as well. Is it possible to have a statement from the Welsh Government as to what actions they take to support local authorities and the trunk road agency to support the maintenance of the fabric of the highways in Wales, but in particular in the South Wales Central area, and what financial support they make available to local authorities and the trunk road agency to make sure that repairs are carried out in a timely manner?
