Senedd has offered no constructive ideas since May's elections (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since the Senedd reconvened after the elections in May, not one constructive idea or coherent sensible suggestion has been forthcoming. Take the plans for reducing the congestion on the M4 around Newport, no one has the slightest clue or idea what to do to resolve it, and are afraid of making any proposals or a way forward for fear of the backlash from the other parties on whatever it is they come up with. So much for everyone working for the good and wellbeing of the Welsh nation. This just con

Whatever petty crime you commit, prison is not a viable option, and even if the unthinkable happens, you only serve 40 per cent of
Minister says M4 junction closures are still an open and viable option (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So the deputy transport minister for Wales, Mark Hooper, confirms that M4 junction closures are still an open and viable option. Never mind the additional congestion on local roads and the increased pollution that it will bring, but the final decision on the M4 problems will be guided by the evidence to hand and public consultation. The decision has already been made and announcing it at a later date is just to hoodwink the public. He then goes on to say that one of the key elements is to delive
