§ Mr. Simon CoombsTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received on the desirability of constructing the approach road to the second Severn bridge on the English side to three-lane capacity.
§ Mr. ChopeNorthavon district council, the Automobile Association and Thornbury town council are among those who consider that the link from the second Severn crossing to the M4 in England should be built as a dual three-lane motorway, rather than as the proposed dual two-lane motorway.
The two proposed approach roads in England will together provide four lanes in each direction while the new bridge itself will have three lanes in each direction. All the proposed capacity is additional to that provided by the existing bridge and M4 motorway.
