There are three schemes that are referred to in my constituency in the roads review report, all of which, unfortunately, it's likely, appearing from the document, are going to be scrapped. Now, these are schemes that I've corresponded with you and your predecessors on over many years and each time I have corresponded with you, up until the roads review started, everything had a green light and the work was going ahead, and dates were being scheduled and everybody was being prepared for the work.

I refer in particular to the Maes Gamedd junction in Gwyddelwern, a project that has been promised for well over a decade, with you and your predecessors giving me answers to written questions saying that the work would proceed. That's a dangerous junction, which needs to be addressed, and the local community will be looking to you to find out why on earth it isn't going to be addressed, given today's announcement. The Corwen road and Lôn Fawr junction on the A494 in Ruthin—another project that has been promised for a very long time, a gateway into Ruthin, a junction that needs to improve, Minister, if I may say, in order to deliver active travel on a circular route around Ruthin as a town. And yet you're scrapping a piece of work that will enable the delivery of that, and yet you're saying you're in favour of active travel. And I believe you're in favour of active travel, but I don't see how that decision is consistent with your ambition to deliver it. And a third scheme—Abergele town centre congestion scheme—again, ditched. And this is a town that is facing congestion on a daily basis, not just in the summer months, when it's very acute because of the visitors that we receive, but every single day of the week.

So, I would challenge you, Minister: come with me to my constituency. I'll give you a tour of these locations, and you can see for yourself the problems that your decision is going to result in as a result of the scrappage of these particular schemes. And I do hope that you'll consider my invitation, because I want you to see first-hand, for yourself, why scrapping these schemes doesn't make any sense.
