Trefnydd, this morning alone, I've received over 40 complaints by e-mail and social media about traffic congestion on the A467 leading to junction 28 of the M4. The Welsh Government said junction 28 road improvement works have been completed for a number of months now, but the situation is worse than ever before. Commuters are facing significant delays in all directions and I've raised this on many occasions with the Minister, officials and Costain, and unfortunately this is not an isolated incident. In fact, it occurs daily and can't simply be attributed to teething problems.

My constituents and people travelling down from the Valleys and east of Newport are being seriously affected, making them late for work, school, exams, appointments and extending journeys home in the evenings. The tailback at peak times reaches the slip road and inside lane of the M4. Commuters and local residents have been incredibly patient while the works have been carried out, but it doesn't appear to be an improvement by any stretch of the imagination and it's already adding to high air pollution and congestion in the area.

One of my constituents, who lives in Rogerstone, told me that he works in the Orb steelworks and what should be a 15-minute journey to work is taking him well over an hour. Another managing director of business told me that it's causing stress to his workforce and customers have told them that they've given up on getting there. Another has just told me that they have to leave an hour and 10 minutes earlier than their shift in a company in Tredegar Park, and that's for a 20-minute journey.

So, please can we have an urgent statement from the Minister for Economy and Transport on what is being done to resolve this issue as well as details of what markers are being used to measure how the project is delivering against its intended objectives?
