Deputy Minister, you will be aware that the need for a bypass in Llandeilo isn't something recent; the people of Llandeilo have been crying out for this for over 50 years. The case in my view is clear; it's been won. Indeed, the Welsh Government agreed in 2016 to fund this bypass as part of a package deal agreed with Plaid Cymru at the time. Since then, we've had numerous Welsh Government studies and consultations, even as recently as two years ago. But instead of delivering, we've seen delay after delay, with the announcement last year that it would be delayed until 2025. Today's announcement is a further let-down for the town and its people again.
