§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the remit for the south Wales area traffic study; what is its estimated cost; who is undertaking it; when it will be completed; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsThe study is a review of traffic patterns over most of the south Wales trunk road network. It identifies sections likely to exceed their recommended traffic flow levels in the foreseeable future and evaluates possible solutions. It was undertaken by JMP Consultants Ltd in association with Veryard and Partners for £350,000. Their summary report was submitted last December and it is currently receiving careful consideration. No public statement is likely before the spring.
