Sir Wyn Roberts

No. Our policy is to undertake selective improvements to the A470 which is the main north-south link through mid Wales. That policy is set out in "Roads in Wales: Progress and Plans for the 1990s". The 1991 supplement to that, published in February, details the substantial programme of major improvements.
