The M4 relief Rd. looks like the t0$$ers in The bay are going to drag it out for another few months.
Just build it :frown:

I can see from the environmentalists point of view sort of, but unfortunately the country, forget the region, the country needs this road desperately. They need to get on with railway electrification and the metro whilst they're at it. I'm sure everything in this country takes 10x as long to do.
The whole transport system in this country is diabolical look at where the airport is for ffs it’s just as easy to fly from Bristol. I have to drive down that stupid a470 every work day and that twat Carwyn wants to reduce the speed limits because of carbon footprint obviously the dull twat had never driven on there between 7-9 am & 3-6 pm on a week day, it’s ridiculous there’s only a handful of ways to get in and out of Cardiff and yet they want more big events in the cityQuote:

Llanrumney, the population of a small town, has two exits, Mount Pleasant & Llanrumney Avenue!!!!!! New estate being built on Caer Castell, Newport Rd is chaos now down to the ancient Rumney Bridge. A road from the bottom of Llanrumney over to the Eastern Avenue is a must. Pentwyn, Llanedeyrn & Pontprennau have all got there own access on the other side. Do City Planners actually plan???
East Cardiff simply has to be served by the Metro with numerous stops ASAP. That would reduce a hell of a lot of the road traffic all the way along Newport Road.Quote:

I was thinking the other day, the government should have kept the toll and just used the money collected to fund the relief road as much as possible.
Scrapping tolls will inevitably lead to more businesses locating the Welsh side of the bridge (at least that is the hope) and that will ensure increases in traffic which will inevitably exacerbate the situation. The lack of foresight of the Welsh Government knows no bounds. If this situation existed in England or even Scotland a decent new road would have been built years ago.
Corporal Carwyn is a true revolutionary.:hehe::hehe::hehe:Quote:

Feck you.
I find that those complaining about population rarely offer to sacrifice themselves or their family for the cause.Quote:

I'm no City planner but if travelling into the center of Cardiff is already difficult I can't see why you would relocate major offices into town, the HMRC office for example, without first improving travel options. For me, we need an upgrade to Cardiff Central train station and if there is no space to expand then a second medium sized station to be built.Quote:

Unless you're in London, it seems that there is no spend that's worth the taxpayer's money.
Can't wait until the 100's of homes are built North of Cardiff, the BBC site too, all trying to get into the City. The clowns in the assembly are still trying to get private funding for their 'lagoon' in Swansea Bay.
God help us. The Scots and Irish politicians can be annoying, but I dread giving any extra powers to the Taffs down the bay...
No argument here, what you're saying is right... but it doesn't detract from the fact the relief road is needed on the M4. Cardiff desperately needs the Parkway train station to become a reality, as does it need a relatively big station on Newport road. I would say that when (if) the metro gets up and running, the potential for places in the Valleys to have bigger employment bases is fairly open.Quote:
