NAW Finance Committee to consider Strategic Road Building

On 14th January 2009 the Finance Committee of the National Assembly for Wales will discuss the Terms of Reference and Work Programme for an Inquiry into Strategic Road Building. The importance of improving major road links in Wales as a means of improving the economy has been identified by many in the business community in Wales. There is a divergence of views as to whether better north-south links, to improve communications within Wales, or better east-west links, to enhance existing commercial links, are the more important. There are also environmental concerns about investing more money in roads as opposed to other forms of transport.

Anyone who has suggestions for the Terms of Reference and the Work Programme for the Inquiry may wish to contact the Committee Chair or the Committee Clerk, contact details available at http://www.assemblywales.org/bus-home/bus-committees/bus-committees-third1/bus-committees-third-fin-home/bus-committees-third-fin-mem.htm .
