§ Mr. EdwardsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received regarding the Crickhowell-Abergavenny bypass; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsThere are two separate bypass proposals—the A40 Crickhowell bypass and the A40/ A465 Abergavenny western bypass.
Over 700 representations have been received on proposals for Crickhowell. Careful consideration is being given to the views expressed before a decision is made about any bypass for the town.
The preferred route for the Abergavenny western bypass was announced in 1988. Draft orders for the proposed scheme are expected to be published later this year.
