AM welcomes Assembly road investment
Plaid AM Dr. Dai Lloyd has welcomed investment by Transport Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones in Swansea’s roads.
Swansea is to receive £163,216 from a fund which aims to repair damaged roads following the recent cold weather.
Dr. Lloyd stated:
“Councils such as Swansea have seen significant increases in outgoings as a result of the recent cold weather. The funding announced by Plaid’s Ieuan Wyn Jones clearly recognises the pressure facing local Councils.
“It is vitally important that we try and get our road network back up to scratch as soon as possible. I have heard of so many examples in Swansea where the condition of the roads are terrible. I am hopeful that the extra Assembly funding will assist Swansea Council during these tough economic times.”
