HC Deb 17 June 1997 vol 296 c143W
Mr. Edwards

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the safety of pedestrians on the A4042 over Llanelleu Bridge, near Abergavenny. [2525]

Mr. Hain

The Department regularly reviews all sections of trunk road with regard to road safety. No traffic accidents have ever been recorded at this site.

Mr. Edwards

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proposals his Department has to construct a pedestrian bridge alongside the Llanelleu Bridge, near Abergavenny. [2529]

Mr. Hain

Given the low level of pedestrian use, the provision of a footbridge is not justifiable in the light of information I have received on other priorities, but the Department has offered to joint fund up to 50 per cent. of the projected cost of such a bridge.
